But if you plan on taking it to extremes (stat levels 40+) melee then comes into it's own, as (I don't think) it is capped the same way ranged is. Huge accuracy=lots of hits, but not necessarily much more damage- the increase is fractional. Huge strength=huge damage increase for melee weapons, so at extremes you'll find melee is the king for damage dealing. Just look at weebay.
Even though I have the high strength, I use an SB1. I have the Ionized flail, but it's getting dusty in my storage. I like the idea of melee, but got to far ahead in the skills hence me being a ranged weapon user.
