Being able to use the dodge not near enemies is pointless as most hunter melee build focus on being surrounded by enemies. Additionally most hunter melee abilities are pointless to use at range.
This is the equivalent of making warlock rifts not provide overshield unless the health stat is at 70.

This is a buff big time! Stop holding on to nostalgia and look at the perks of this. If you have melee build u will mostly want to be 100 or higher to get extra damage anyway. It’s not an issue
