Y'all are just dense. Having Gate is not what differentiates Melee from Non-Melee.
Melee combat is. Swarming and charming are not melee combat.
I'll concede that bards are melee characters because they get dual wield and main-hand damage bonus - but nobody has admitted that suggesting a bard to swarm and charm for someone looking for a MELEE FOCUSED TOON is proof of your inability to comprehend basic information.

OP posted in this thread, of which the subheading says “Rogue / Monk / Ranger / Bard”. I would presume they were open to these four classes, potentially also the “Tank” archetypes.
People offered the bard as a suggestion. Others agreed this can be easily soloed via charming and swarming. At no point did the OP say they were unwilling to play a bard, use these techniques, or not use these techniques. A bard can easily melee to 60 as well, whether “toe to toe” fighting or reverse kiting like a SK (presuming you consider a SK a melee per that definition).
At no point did we suggest a cleric, shaman, or necro, classes which can melee to exp as well. At no point we suggested a ranger but only for bow rotting, of which that too is viable.
You are the one attempting to reinvent the definitions 26 years after game was designed. People aren’t agreeing with you so you are pouting and insulting them. Again, try harder to flip the status quo understanding of the game or realize you lack the reasoning to even convince the majority of people that a bard is not a hybrid melee class. Maybe it’s the plate armor, duel wielding weapons, not being able to quickly regen mana, not having essential caster spells, but having quintessential combat skills (like riposte)? If you lack an understanding, maybe ask ChatGTP to explain what the bard is. It might be more successful than I have been.
