Don't worry about any other weapons skills besides Small Guns, Energy Weapons, and maybe Explosives. Melee isn't worth it because if your Energy Weapons are leveled up and you have a good Plasma Rifle and some ammo, nothing can stand in your way.....except a Super Mutant Behemoth.

1) Don't use an example of a monster that isn't even in the game.

2)Don't have such close minded opinions towards Melee. Melee is an amazing skill, I just started a new Melee character and am having a blast. You mentioned that the TC should try explosives...

The Explosives skill is probably the most underpowered skill in NV. Besides, SG and EW can get quite boring since people are always using it for their characters. To the TC, There is no right or wrong answer to whether Melee is better than Guns or EW, it just depends on your play style. Oh, and yes, getting Melee to 90+ would probably help a lot.

If you normally like shooting things rather than punching things then you should upgrade Guns (or Energy Weapons)

A higher Gun skill will improve your accuracy and how well you can maintain your guns. I upgraded my Gun skill and pretty much was able to slaughter everyone on Hardcore mode (Normal)
