Having said all that, I don't see the melee as underpowered at all, but trying to say it's overpowered relative to magic is burying your head in the sand.
It's debatable to say melee is better at higher levels. Getting 120% resists means you can get healed
even from your own mage's attacks. Combining that with a high armor rating and leech means physical attacks hardly scratch you. Then when all this comes in, the battering ram > whirlwind > dust devil combo with rage on is absurd, or just using flurry to take out bosses. A mage buffing a warrior that can do that with wildfire and oath of desecration creates a ridiculous powerhouse.
But melee is
definitely weaker early where if they don't take zombie then they will have a really, really bad time. It's not as simple as setting fire to the zombies either as zombies on fire explode for even more damage to you since they explode both in poison
and fire. Zombie however is extremely meh after Cyseal and I'd rather be able to use the heals.
