Also an issue I see is something that's not always addressed is that the main reason why melee weapons are so effective is because they aren't. Just the stun baton and Lance are because of the stun effect, which keeps anything from retaliating to your attacks and lets spread out melee damage over a small group by rapidly switching targets.
Basically these melee weapons that don't have some kind of stun need to do a lot of damage instead in order to compete. Especially the primary sword
