Analyzing Beppo's Transition from Melee to Ranged DPS in the "Emberfall" Series

I've been reviewing Beppo's recent streams (Episodes 4-6 of the Emberfall run). His decision to pivot from a high-risk/high-reward close combat setup (focused primarily on Strength and Dexterity) to a more consistent Ranged DPS/Crit build after hitting Level 30 is highly intriguing. While the initial melee build offered impressive spike damage, the Ranged focus provides superior survivability and significantly better resource uptime, especially when managing hordes. Has anyone calculated the relative time-to-kill (TTK) difference between the two builds against boss targets post-patch 1.4? I suspect the Ranged setup has the overall efficiency edge, even if the peak damage numbers are lower.
