The Way of The Warrior perk "Combat Flow" is supposed to recharge my dodge every time I get a melee kill. My favorite way to play gambit is to run this with a one-two punch shotgun and Liar's Handshake.
Unfortunately, Combat Flow fails a significant amount of time, maybe 15%-25% of the time.
This is a problem for 2 reasons. The big problem is that I often rely upon getting my dodge back in order to dodge out of a group of enemies to reduce my incoming damage, or to dodge towards an enemy that is backpedaling while shooting at me. In both cases, unexpectedly not having my dodge has caused me to die.
The smaller problem is that I also rely on Gambler's Dodge to recharge my melee, so that I can punch a new enemy to reset my Combination Blow timer and to heal myself, which leads again to death sometimes or at least an unexpectedly low damage output.
Has Bungie acknowledged this issue?
