Well i wouldnt say "most". Form what i know only melee skills that have taunt are unarmed, shield, cow, deer and staff.

Well i dont play ranged skills (sometime i use mentalism, but thats about it), so i can really say if they are indeed stronger than melee. All i know is that most range players who i met seems to have higher damage than me (wolf/unarmed), Granted my build is not pure dps, and good part of my damag comes in Dots, but still i think i can agree that ranged specs have higher damage.

That beign said , i cant still 2-shot Onkara rakkies whit some buffs.

If melee have any advantege, i think it would be surivability - tough you dont need much defense if you can kill everything so fast it dont ahve time to deal any significant damage
