[quote]I was playing around and swapped to arc strider with my melee build equipped and noticed combination blow has a 15 second base cooldown. With 100 strength it goes to 6 seconds, and with my build I was getting my melee charge back either instantly or after 1 second (without using dodge). I get this is mainly a pve ability since it can be pretty difficult to set up in pvp, but that got me thinking. Why dont other pve focused melee abilities have this short of a cool down? Snare and corrosive smoke bombs are basically worthless in pvp and pve due to their little damage and the fact that higher tier enemies can still attack through the smoke, but they have a base cooldown of 1:30. Fan of knives sucks in pvp but is decent in pve and also has a 1:30 cooldown. I even checked the other classes and noticed none of them had a super short melee cooldown. Granted titans do have a few exotics that give little to no cooldown on melee, and warlocks do have some good synergy exotics that can reduce ability recharge by 50%. So unless there is some crazy buffs coming in void, arc, and solar 3.0. I feel like weaker or pve focused melees should get similar short cooldown times.[/quote] Both of the abilities you emanation have spam builds for them already. With graviton on for example, you can get your smoke bomb back before your invis runs out.
