That'd Be Cool

Ranged/Melee Weapons - By thisi mean a weapon that has both a melee and a ranged damage portion. In D&D you already have this with most thrown weapons, but this would be cool in WoW, though probably annoying to code, due to the nature of the Ranged Weapon Slot. But what got me thinking about this? Sentinels, Darnassus, Auberdine, Feathermoon, any where there's night elves there's sentinels and they all have those giant fuma shuriken moon glaives on their arms. Obviously a thrown weapon right? Well they use them for melee attacks, I don't even know if they have ranged attacks. However in warcraft III the huntresses definitely hurled those things. From there you go to the shadow hunter and his fel glaive another throw/melee weapon, but it doesn't only extend to thrown weapons. The most awesome gun ever created by blizzard The Sen'Jin Beak Blade Long Rifle has a sword and an axe on it and i would love to slam that into some undead skulls when they got too close. Examples of the melee ranged weapon exist every where even in real life. From Archers stabbing opponents with arrows before firing them, to bayonets and knives mounted on military rifles, to even your basic pistol whip (or in the case of Equilibrium awesome pistol hammer hammers). Now i'm not saying this should be in game but it would be awesome. The big issue would be stats. They would need enough stats to make up for taking up those equipment slots. The same way two handers have twice the stats these (assuming their two handed melee) would need triple the stats, plus their melee damage would be kinda meh to make sure everyone knows their hunter loot
