After the ram nerf it's not as good. I get a damage increase to my melee true but, it still has to charge. Radiance isn't an instant melee or grenade. It's just a really fast charge. Your shit is instantaneous. And it has a larger blast radious. And it can also be used as a melee. It's a stronger radiance by far. More health and instant large aoe and possibly homing hammers. It's so -blam!-ing cheap it's ridiculous.
