For the love of God, add weapon reach

I really do want to love and play this game but the fact weapons have zero reach is a major turn off for me. Just try it for yourself. Equip a long 2H stick, position yourself next to a ranged mob and swing your weapon while holding the shift button. The weapon goes through mob and no damage is dealt.
I am used *from the other game* to play shift + proper positioning but here you have to stick to mobs like glue.

Agreed.

Oooo man do I ever approve of this.
I sat beside my Rejuv totem holding shift trying to attack a mob, he was able to hit me, so I thought I was just missing cause I was a marauder with a low hit rate.
Turns out I just needed to let go of shift.

Absolutely. One of a few things contributing to the overall poor feeling of melee right now.

A fair point, I can't believe nobody has pointed this out. In retrospect it was the cause of a large amount of gameplay problems.

Agreed. Especially with sweep it is really annoying.
