Why no Melee Power for Perfect Two Handed Fighting?

[vryxnr]

Just a simple, honest question.

Two-Handed Fighting feat now grants a small boost to Melee Power.
Improved Two-Handed Fighting now grants a slightly larger boost to Melee Power.
Greater Two-Handed Fighting continues this trend and now increases the small boost to Melee Power even more.
Perfect Two-Handed Fighting... ... ... ... nope.

Thematically it makes sense that it should grant a boost to Melee Power as well. Even though you can take it without any previous THF feats (which I find somewhat strange, to be honest), it continues to do what the other THF feats do, only better (and only for level 26+ characters with one Primal destiny maxed). Despite that, it seems to have been overlooked/forgotten/ignored with regards to Melee Power.

Just wondering if this is indeed intentional, and why?

The Epic Fighting Style feats are "fighting style" only in name

Pardon, misread OP, deleting... carry on.

~ As we continue to scale effects with Melee Power it will make TWF better. We don't want to add in 10 Melee Power and pull it out later on. For now we have given some buffs to Tempest and Assassin to shore things up.

~ We don't have plans to make TWF better with Cleave and Great Cleave. Those feats are already good enough; they don't need to be buffed. We buffed Tempest AoE, and Assassin is single target oriented by design.

Nope. TWF is not going to receive any benefits.

Then I must ask... why give it that name in the first place? Names and words have meaning, that is why we use them.

I also must disagree that they are similar in name only, as what Perfect THF does also falls in line with what the non-epic THF style feats do. Perfect Two Handed Fighting, just like all the non-epic two-handed fighting feats, increases your glancing blows damage and chance for special effects to activate on glancing blows. That's more than being a fighting style feat in "name only", it benefits the same mechanics as well. The only thing that separated them pre-U23 is the use of level pre-req as opposed to feat pre-reqs for Perfect THF... post-U23 we can now add a mechanical difference - the lack of MP - as well. Again, that just seems strange and nonsensical to me.

At least yall get some... us TWFers are up the creek without a paddle.

They probably figured it was good enough as it is and wanted to preserve a feeling a choice between it and the other alternatives on offer.
