Different weapons, different classes

ShaggyRyn

So Iv only played ranger so far but what is the point of running different weapons. The ranger basically has zero skills they can use with a melee weapon. Even when augments come out I don’t see how you could utilize skills like barrage/sniper/scatter shot while wanting to be a melee ranger. Will you always have to have a bow in your offhand or will there be a melee path of skills in the rangers kit?
