Melee weapons include any weapon that does damage equippable in the Main Hand or, in some cases, Off Hand slot. They can only be used when a target is within Melee range (5 yards in most cases). Exceptions to this include the Warrior's Heroic Throw, which allows the player to throw a melee weapon in the main hand for ranged damage.
