1. with melee you do have to be up close to the enemy for 3/4 of the game until around the terra blade
2. ranged ammo is easy to restock
3. mana regen potion: exist
4. melee weps that do fire beams etc will have less DPS than magic or ranged
5. zenith is post-ml so it's useless

11. show me a screenshot of 180 defense solar armor, wiki says its total defense is 78 or something
2. melee weapons cost no mana or ammo
3. melee has, maybe, the best weapons in game
