What nugiyen is doing right now is amazing

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.


I can't understand what is wrong with you.
He plays a melee character with gems and items he found. He is not allowed to trade.
He is in maps and he can survive fairly good!

I'm a summoner,the safest build out there and i was forced to logout to prevent death at a level 67 map.
I got 4k life and 1.5k ES,capped resistances.

Can you for a minute stop crying for the problems and admire what a guy do?
This is a thread that clearly talks about a guy being amazing, and yes he does.
Besides all the problems melee got,he can survive those problems with crappy (compared to what you can buy via trading with your currency) gear and you still "cry".
If you are not here to discuss about him,but to cry about the melees again, go to one of your 50 threads and do so. Stop being so pathetic.


As I said above, please do not feed the apparent troll.
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.

And you havnt even gotten a melee past level 50 yet according to your sig, and you argue that I'm pathetic for telling the truth.

Go and carry on alt - F4ing on hard core thinking you are a pro and that melee is somehow valid in this game


What truth exactly? And what does you being pathetic have to do with my ingame accomplishments?


Please do not respond to bhavv until he learns how to be part of a conversation, instead of jut trying to derail it with his own agenda. Thank you.


You are right, he doesn't deserve any attention.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
i think the main reason he is so far ahead right now is that he isn't really being challenged by multiple parties.

That dual wield cleave is really insane with doubly-applying all damage from both weapons, paired with his attackspeed and due to massive aoe he and his killspeed is only limited by his own tankability.

To discuss a streamer, which is what this thread is all about?

Yeah, you kinda do. Sorry you can't or won't, but commenting in a thread about a streamer, especially one singing his praises, is ridiculous. To come in here and shit all over that streamer when you haven't even a clue of what he's doing is beyond ridiculous. It's offensive and extremely poor conduct.

I belatedly see that the moment you said this, you were done.

I concur, that is not the point here. I've watched enough of nugiyen to see that is not applicable at all.


This is seriously impressive.

bhavv, you need to watch this guy and admit you were wrong. Sorry.

Not impressive at all.

Using a skill with that range and trying to pass it off as melee to sound hard.

He played so much his body shakes, sacrificing health for a game, sad.
wait just a minute. so when these guys think they are going to die, they close out the game? that's how you get to the top of the ladder. thats pretty lame hardcore.
yeah, yeah, I know. Just putting that final nail in.

MOVING ON!

I watched only for a bit and was like, damn. He's soloing maps. With cleave.

All those auras are daunting to me. I'm typically not being into that level of self-augmentation in ARPGS (they're essentially making the character a battle-mage, really) and prefer to rely on other things, but it's entirely possible that auras remain the only way to seriously melee in this game.

I don't really mind that but it'll take me a bit to get my head around. I was never really into the fighter/mage hybrid if that meant self-buffing rather than combining badass sword skills and blowing shit up.

Cleave is still using the weapon's natural range. It is melee. You seem to have some sour graps going on there, but so be it.

I'll be impressed, as will others. You don't have to be. :)

As for his personal health, that's not really our concern either. We're not his mother. It's also not relevant to the topic at hand, which is that melee is viable at end-game if done right.

I don't know what exact auras he's using but they're most likely elemental attack ones along with your staples, because it's a build based on doing elemental damage with Cleave.
