Melee in Dust is very limited in its combat use. Compared to most guns, it just can't compete. Sure stacking MyoStims can pull some impressive damage numbers, but it's difficult to actually apply that damage. The slow-down-when-shot-effect and hits not registering when Meleeing a moving enemy only add to it's difficulty.
Maybe Melee should only be used as a last resort or for finishers, but if that's the case then why do MyoStims exist? You'd think that having a Module that specifically augments Melee would be an indicator that Melee is supposed to have some viability.
I personally think CCP should expand on Melee more. Not Melee weapons like the Nova Knives(although I'm not against additional Melee weapons), but straight up punching people. Give MyoStims additional bonuses, make a Melee-centric dropsuit class, or make some kind of Melee oriented equipment. I actually have an idea for a piece of "equipment" I call the Berserker, I'll post about it if anyone's interested in reading about it.
So what do you all think about Melee? Should it be expanded upon? Or left as a novelty and last resort?

Weapons can be whatever, I just chose those for racial alignment. That Commando ck.0 can pack a serious punch.

Most games make melee a last resort or novelty, and some games make pure melee a viable form of combat.
CCP sorta went half way with it in Dust though.
You have MyoStims which can allow you to punch people harder, but that's it. All it does is increase damage, but in no way aids the user in effectively applying that damage and so it still functions as a last resort/novelty.

That is exactly how the melee system should continue to work. f you want a solo melee class, do us all a favor and go back to COD already.
Because Call of Duty is so well known for its melee based gameplay.
What's so wrong with wanting a bit of combat variety other than guns?
