I decided to tune in to see what you guys were talking about. About 30 seconds into the stream Nugiyen had one of the closest calls I've seen. His health dropped below 1%.

So its really not valid then, he is just getting lucky.

I don't need to watch the stream, I can tell you that appart from extreme luck like in this case, you cannot currently play 100% melee in PoE without ever dying.(My internet is too slow to stream anything, I will only watch YouTube videos of gameplay recordings WITHOUT anyone speaking over the gameplay).

Nugiyen will die eventually, in fact the slightest desync or lag would have killed his melee character by now.

This isn't 'melee hate'. I'm asking for melee to be made as viable as ranged, and simply increasing its damage output as is currently being done isn't going to fix that.

Nevermind he made it out

Man, you are one unreasonable, stubborn fellow. Everyone dies eventually. He was doing extremely well.

He was doing what people said can't be done.

Can't you take that jaded spoon out of your mouth for just enough time to give credit where it's due?

Seriously.

That is not what this thread is for.

Leap slam / ground slam / lightning strike are not melee.

I have no idea who he is, but he isn't reaching the top of the ladder entirely through solo melee no matter how much he tries to fool you.

Aren't you that guy that posted in another thread complaining to a guy that said he was progressing in merciless with facebreakers that ground slam isn't real melee?

I'm still curious how Leap Slam isn't considered "melee". I mean, you are physically hurling yourself at a target, and slamming down your weapon to deal aoe damage. I could understand if say for example, the skill threw the weapon itself to deal aoe and returned it to you thus making it a ranged attack but your character goes where the weapon does and you physically hit enemies in a small radius just like sweep.

And dying in HC only serves to make you a better player. You learn from your mistakes, so you don't repeat them (minus desync which can hit even the best of players). Does it suck to lose a lot of progress and gear that is only left to softcore? Sure but you learn and grow as a player from the experience.

You are pathetic.

So there we go, he didn't last long at all and was abusing logging out / alt F4 to make it for a very short time only.

See, I was 100% correct.

What are you blabbering on about? Nugiyen decided to man up and run into a huge pack of mobs with no flask charges and he almost died. Also, I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to play a game where a character is 100% guaranteed to never die.

Regardless u should watch him solo vaal and bosses, he know exactly what to do
