Yay more damage tools for melee while ignoring that the biggest problem with melee is survivability. From what has been revealed, it looks like you're really missing the mark with the expansion.

Love it I'm excited to play with it. Love me some physical damage + melee builds. This is what I have been looking for.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but for reference the links are:

Earthquake - Fortify - Less Duration - Melee Physical Damage - Increased AoE.


Looks like the character is using a Marohi, so that's just on a four-link. For those of us looking for higher-level setups, there looks to be plenty of room for improvement.

Poison, Bloodlust (if the skill works with Disfavour), and added fire are the offensive supports that come to mind. If the skill really front-loads a bunch of damage into one attack, Endurance Charge on Melee Stun could be a good defensive support.

Unfortunately Bloodlust won't work linked to earthquake and get damage bonus, as even with Causes Bleeding on a weapon, bloodlust stops the bleeding when linked to the skill. I tried :( You could run two earthquake setups, but I don't think that would work as we expect due to description saying we can only have one up, and its for slow attack speed weapons.
