What nugiyen is doing right now is amazing
" I wouldn't call it melee either. I shoot at people from that range, usually because that's when they hit the bottom of my screen. Not that it's not impressive (how the hell do you get 34k life?! How do you ever die with that?!), but it's hardly melee. ... Only true melee class is facebreaker Luna's Blackguards - a guild of bronies - is now recruiting! If you're a fan of our favourite chromatic marshmallow equines, hit me up with an add or whisper, and I'll invite you!

I wonder how many skills people have to remove from their builds before playing Melee at all is considered lame and not a good indication of viability.

" off the top of my head here are true melee abilities: heavystrike doublestrike dualstrike glacialhammer infernalblow viperstrike wow dude! that's 6 abilities to play with right there |

He was lucky enough to get a 6 link while trying to link up a chest to 4 link. Very likely he will place top 20.

Wait a minute is that really what HC players do? exit the game in blink of an eye so they dont die? how is that in spirit of the game not HC at all.

" Stay civil please. And yes, 'nerd' is an insult in this context. If you want to be realistic, most people would consider you a nerd just for playing this game and caring enough about it to post on a forum. __ I stand by my definition of melee as being any skill that deals damage from a weapon at its natural range. There are 'melee range' nodes incoming -- does that mean all melee skills affected by this extension (i.e. all melee skills) are no longer melee? Hmm. Well, you can have your definition of melee, I'll have mine. In the end the only definition that matters is GGG's. 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. Last edited by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Mar 6, 2013, 8:54:40 PM

"Can Viper Strike truly be considered Melee though? Sure you're hitting something with your poker but then you can just run and let the DoT do damage while you're safely far away. That's being a coward, which is not in the spirit of being a man. |

" This is alot harder then people make it out to be, its a split second decision, do you either try to click escape/exit, or click a potion, or try to run? You have to do it so quickly and get lucky doing it, that its not as fail safe as people think. |

" So you wouldn't consider a Whirlwind Barbarian in D2 melee? I guess a Zeal Pally is out too, since Zeal hits more than one target. I'm pretty sure ranged classes would suck too if they limited themselves to single target skills with no AoE. My point is the dude is using cleave with two swords, yeah he extended the range with passives and gems, but he is still attacking with a sword, not spells, not bows, so by default the only remaining category you can place it in is melee. He's trying something innovative with melee, but apparently some people just don't want to adapt and create more effective builds. |

" no, just no. ww barbs were never considered melee |
