I think you are understating the situation. I believe the Titan melee is purely cosmetic and brings no real damage boost to melee. What makes me say this is that I went through the Void Exotic Sword quest as a Titan. As you know, the void Titan is a support class. Therefore, I only had use of my melee and grenade abilities. The quest calls for killing approximately 500 PVE adversaries with void energy. When I would melee enemies I noticed that if I got a body shot on a Cabal target the void melee wouldn’t trigger until my second shot, even if the void melee was available on my power bar. I tried punching the same Cabal targets without the void melee available on my power bar. I noticed that it took two melee attacks to kill the target. That led me to the conclusion that if you hit a target in the body that required two shots normally, the target would still require two shots even if you had your void melee ability ready. Therefore, the void melee has no advantage in combat and is purely cosmetic. The only caveat here is that it is PVE. It may react differently in PVP. However, from my recollection, I think it operates the same way in PVP. Without seeing the actual code, I have no way to categorically substantiate this. However, hopefully if this becomes a big enough issue I hope that Bungie will address this problem.
