Is It Time For Ranged Weapons To Get An Over-All Buff?

Why would the Rifle be better at melee range?

After all, even when used in melee, it doesn't get the buff actual melee weapons do, which to me always seemed kinda weird. After all, why would a Rifle person fighting close not get a buff, while a Staff user keeping their distance will?

Light's most damaging power is the claw hold construct, only hits targets in melee range and is a 360 degree aoe. Couple that with jump cancel fan phantom range tap clipping, and you're outputting more damage overall on single target or on multiple adds.

Oh, you meant cause Hard Light is better in melee.

I thought you meant the Rifle itself was better in melee.

+1 JMBOO, two great points.
