In all honesty, all melee classes are very strong if they have the possibility to spam skills, if they are single target, they can pretty much wack a mob 4x hp. I dont think it would be any different with an warlord AoE. The thing is, classic maintained the "reduced melee skill cooldown" from H5 I belive. Back in old C1-Interlude days, those warlord skills took forever to recharge.
