Ranged Cadence and such

Good morning, fellow Taken!

As the title implies, I would like to find out more about skills like ranged Cadence or Primal Strike, melee Fire Strike, etc.

I have always viewed Cadence, Savagery and Primal Strike as more melee-oriented or dual wield skills, while Fire Strike always seemed more like a ranged-oriented skill.

Recently, I begun toying with the idea of making a ranged Cadence Tactician, with Elemental Cadence and Inquisitor's ranged WPS procs (to name one idea), or a ranged Vitality Fire Strike Demolitionist+Necromancer and I am curious about the next few points:

- does Cadence have any "interesting" quirks if used with a ranged weapon(s), like Fire Strike's Brimstone node?

- does Fire Strike work as a melee skill and what would you pair it with, which class/wps as a melee skill?

...and so on, feel free to add your own interesting takes about the topic, let's get it going! 😀
