Well, considering I'm on the other side of the planet and you might not care about someone having 300+ Ping but trying to eliminate those aircraft around harbinger is virtually impossible as a Melee Class, can't you do something to compensate for this? make them stop or something?
Want to get to know me a bit better, Click me and take a read of My Dragon Profile Page, it's a bit dated but still relevant.
I take this quote from a review that I agree with.
"customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."

You can buy a vehicle with Zen, of farm Questionite for Zen, or save Globals to buy keys and hope to get lucky, or buy keys to stock up on Drifter Salvage, or buy one off the Auction House. Or you could farm the event with a different character until you get the Lemurian Tank and pass it to the melee character.
If you're freeform, you could retcon into one or two ramged powers. Sadly, this isn't an option for ATs.
There's also the possibility of devices. I know there are at least a few ranged devices, though I'm unsure if any do sufficient DPS to help in this fight.

The trick is to use a 100' attack that can be tapped. I've found that if I can get at least 1 hit in, they'll often turn around to attack me, at which point fighting them is much easier. There's also a building off to one side where they tend to group up/get caught, so you can try there.
As a last "option", you can simply let others get the fighters and just help w/ the straight damage-dealing phase...

Don't you hate it that right after the ritual of summoning a bunch of heroes come and turn you back to seaweed and rock? Harbinger Problems
Considering the boss is so huge that ranged attacks are pretty much melee range on it, melee characters are in a better position to DPS the boss down, and therefore more likely to hold aggro too.
Conversely, if you're holding aggro it's really not a good idea to switch to a vehicle and start hunting Exocets while getting slapped by invisible tentacles with hacktastic range.
Melee =/= tank
All the MDPS toons are increasingly ignored and marginalized.
My 400+ PRE AoPM support is a de facto "Tank" in the Harbinger fight simply because it likes to focus on her due to Gas Pellets aggro. So when the Exocets come I just chill there and heal myself to keep it busy while the others shoot them down.
I thought that's how it works in the comics too. Just because Wolverine is more durable doesn't mean he can stare at a bunch of Sentinels funny and expect them to magically go for him. If they decide to go for Emma Frost she just pops diamond form and distracts them while the others rip them apart.
