The Ram has 2 unique effects and i believe sometimes people forget that. The lifesteal on melee/more armor yes, but also that any melee kill (including guardians) replenishes some super (like an inverse shadow effect). This effect, scholar's draw, does not exist anywhere else, nor is there an equivalent version to it. Now I know this isn't the final version exactly, but i hope bungie isn't bringing it to year two worse than it is year 1. (yes you can have hands on but that only applies to minion of the darkness) So in other words, keep BOTH special effects, don't drop the Scholars draw please So you can see what I'm talking about without clicking through a bunch of stuff: [armory]The Ram[/armory]
