I love this class. I'm basically maining it at this point, but the melee is very frustrating. I understand what it is designed to do. It shoots a ball of lightning, that then shoots a lighting bolt downward upon being in proximity to an enemy underneath it. But the name suggests otherwise. Ball Lightning. A ball of electrical energy, just waiting to discharge upon proximity. IMO Thats how this melee should function. This would make it much more viable in more situations, and encourage ability usage. I mainly play PvP, so take that as you will, but I really like Gambit too. Right now, I use this melee aggressively. I use it in midair a lot. If it isn't directly above the enemy's head it does nothing. It hits the wall, the floor, and doesn't even explode. It just goes nowhere. Even if I shoot and hit right at an enemy's feet, it usually hits the ground and does nothing. The idea I'm sure was to keep it balanced. But this is another example of oversteering. It's one thing if I miss with a Nightstalker smoke or a Throwing Knife. This is neither of those things. This is a ball of lighting. Lightning finds the path of least resistance. And that isn't always into the ground. This melee should act just like that.
