That's a mistake. Hanharr, when levelled up and on one of his Furies, is an INSANE melee combatant.
For example, in the Jekk'Jekk Tarr underground part, when you control Mira, she gets ripped apart quite easily by the Ubese. It's the other way around with Hanharr. Plus, in one of my previous games, in Freedon Nadd's tomb, when I fought the three Sith Masters at the end of the tomb, Hanharr managed to kill two of them BY HIMSELF. This was with two Rykk Blades, too.
Hanharr is one of the most powerful melee fighters you can have, which is probably why he's DS; they always go for the extra power.
To remain a little on-topic, though, I did kinda like Bao-Dur as a character. I mean, yeah, his voice was a little quiet, but he's usually one of the first I make into a Jedi, and he's a great skills guy too.
