If we were to make a poll. I'm sure most people that vote for Fighters don't really understand the full extent of an archer.
Firstly, archers can take a beating quite well if we have good gears.
If there happened to be a mob hidden in the bushes I'm sure we can still kite.
Secondly, kiters have the most knowledge of their surroundings than any other class.
Thirdly, when archers happen to get mobs running towards them. If the archer is a good one they will decide to poison mist the mob than slap on a speed scroll, and use Piercing shot in conjunction with poison mist.
I'm not really saying Archer prevail over every single class. I'm saying that every class has their good points.
Its just that Archers can be the most balanced class if played right.

OP wanted a Melee class. You cant really say Archer is a Melee class if you spend most of the time Kiting and running from the mobs while you wait for the Illness and Poison skills to do the work that is not a Melee class then since you are relying on ranged attacks to do the work for you the running so you dont get injured.
