i commend your attitude. more often than not, you don't really annoy me. which is pretty huge.
but i've seen you play.
you may not have unholy world dumb status, but none of those toons are good.

My Invulnerability / Super Strength Tanker cares to differ.

From experience I will say that it is entirely possible for a melee toon to do well in zone. My scrapper has no ranged attacks (besides Void), and he is able to get a lot of kills by just chasing down ranged toons. To answer the OPs question, anything with a 3 min t9 power and burnout will be able to do well in zone pvp. Then you will either want a damage set with good burst damage, or ranged attacks to out blast ranged toons. I was looking at a Spines/Energy Aura/Fire Mastery for a ranged scrapper. As far as the burst option, Kinetic Melee is currently the strongest option, however, it is getting nerfed in the next issue so I would recommend looking at another set.

Good luck with whatever you decide to try!
