I don't like Taru melee besides THF or RNG due to the very low STR and average combat stats. STR differences are hard to compensate, accuracy is not. While everyone says equipment can compensate, its not entirely true. Everyone says a DRG should never be hit either - shit happens. Plenty of times I had a tank DC and had to pop defender and get agro to tank a mob til it dies, or allow someone to get escape off. Taru can't really do that. They take the low def factor of a DRG and make it even worse having next to no survivability in a bad situation, and there will likely be times you might get agro bad and a Jump isn't up.
If you really don't care about the possibility of bad situations (because they do happen), then by all means. Even in a perfect world where nothing went wrong I'd still rather be a Hume or Elvaan DRG simply for not having such a significant STR penalty.
Taru melee is basically for people who want to be cute. All other races are functionally better though.
