Well Pirmoancy has many AoE "spells" like Firestorm wich can actually be pretty useful.

Actully melee for many is just run around your opponent hoping for a lag-BS or a parry.

Games with swords need to have actual duel mechanic IMO If you can't use your sword to parry the sword of your opponent then fighting will reduce to the use of cheap tricks
