Solution simple. Make bind usable anywhere by anyone. Make
'danger areas' that you can't bind in such as Nagafen's Lair
or the area around Lady Vox. Heck, make it so that you can't
bind within a given radius of any NPC's if you want. No
problem there.

What is the difference between a melee class being able
to do this and a casting class being able to do this?
The time it takes to loot the melee class's corpse to
get his armor, weapons and such would probably be just
the same amount of time it would take a caster to
load up their spells without even bothering to grab
the stuff off their corpse.

Think of this in the big picture instead of just against
Vox or Nagafen. This would cause so many problems it's
scary.
