If you like to cast spells but also want to melee some, roll a Dirge or a Troubador. Neither a Coercer nor an Inquisitor should really be meleeing unless you solo. As an Inquisitor, if you spec your AA's right, you can do some decent damage with a Blackscale Maul in melee, but that doesn't come until late in the game and you wont be able to heal your group if you're busy flailing at the mob.
