I say tough it out. The gear upgrades feel very rewarding on a melee main b/c they have an impact. There are decent weapons that are pretty cheap as well.
I also say do your own epic, its not hard and it just feels like something you should do on your main.
To this day one of my most excited moments on this server was completing my burning rapier quest on my rogue (my main) at level 30. This was of course pre-kunark and likely wont be your experience, but I use it to highlight the victories on the journy and why the gear struggle on a melee is actually a source of fun.
I would further defend this position by arguing that playing a group dependant class will in the end make you love the game more. You will meet people and make friends and have partners on the journy and thats what really makes this game.
