All I want from melee now is the ability to miss like my bow ranger does and still kill mobs off screen.

Spoiler

I'm lying. I want way more than just that.

Scored a critical Tornado Shot on my archer last night on a group of mobs. Walked a few screens over and found a pillar of green light and a pile of loot.


One shot spirits off screen.. My melee really would like that.

That isn't melee.

If you are not up in your enemies face, you are not melee.

I see not all are trained in the subtle art of weaponized sarcasm.

I have been playing melee only since CB and only recently tried an archer due to crap I have found.

I am actually appalled at how little she has to do.

Hack and slash brother! Wade in and crush your enemies! Just not in this game apparently.

Bump this true words about Path of Exile and GGG vision about what melee is.

Hellgate had grappling hooks first :P
and for the same reason...

I like the idea, but probably a desynch magnet.

there is already one : vaal cyclone

Biggest issue is desync for my melee char, by far. This is also the reason why the clearspeed is significantly slower - leap slam desyncs you, so you better not use it, which in turn makes your clearspeed so much slower because you have to walk up to everything in order to punch it. Beside that, selfcast IC/vaal IC solved 95% of my melee issues. Problem being: that's not melee exclusive.

This would be really good with COC yo.

It seems we're likely going fishing.
