Is the AoE bigger for splash damage melee attacks if you have +2 to melee range due to a passive?

Please tell me...why the hell a 1h weapon only has 1 range less then a 2h?
Are you telling me that a dagger or claw only have 20% less reach than a maul, two hand axe or big fcking sword would have in reality?

Maybe you should start by balancing the obvious before nerfing the hell out of other mechanics.
