You kidding? They have farther melee reach than Hunters do.

Thank you! This exotic was made for three reasons (and grammar is bad cuz I don't care to make this perfect): A) Lack of Sunbreaker exotics! B) Titan T-Rex arms. Why not an exotic that fixes the problem, similar to how Memory ofJolder eliminates another annoying thing, sprint cooldown? C) To encourage build diversity! Sunbreaker's Super has been nerfed quite hard, so I think their neutral game should be more focused on. This makes Simmering Flames a more attractive option, along with several other abilities.
