OP got owned

OP? What does that mean. Is it slang for your mom? In that case yes she did when she gave brith to you. Smack'a'dudledoo!



Sorry I just wanted to triumph your answer in retardness.

Hey it's this guy. Here I thought this was going to be something new. Being that I have an end game MRD, that doesn't use Lightning Strike, nor Leap Slam and solo's Maps. I find your QQ'ing quite entitled. Whats so hard about "We're working on Melee but it's not a simple fix" do you have trouble understanding?

Edit: You've never heard the term OP? I can't remember a forum not using OP. Are you new to forums?

Wasted alot of time trying to be entertaining when all you had to say was:

"Don't go melee if you expect to use the word ultimate in describing your build or character, because that makes you a liar."

I thought it was pretty clever.

melee patch needs to come. then we can all enjoy being OP'd and faceroll laughing through every map with no effort and 400 iir/iiq

One of the advantages of your higher base damage as melee is that you don't have to use as many sockets for DPS-enhancers. Use one or two on the rarity and quantity gems for your main kill-skill(s), and laugh when the ranged players whine about not being able to find the 5-link they "need".

really? your advice for countering the fact you can't stack iir/iiq is use up extremely valuable skill support gem slots on increased rarity and quantity?

higher base damage as melee? what are you talking about?

Yes been out at sea for a really long time. So haven't really been able to familiarize myself with the forum culture. You see i was on this big ship, that was carrying all these anmials from a Zoo to America. But then a big fucking storm came and I had to jump into a life raft.
But a bunch of other animals also did this. so i had to live with a lame ass schimpanze, a hyena and a Tiger. So we drifted around for quite some time until i finally got picked up.

So yeah its all new to me.

I'm a fool for replying to a troll thread, but whatever.

I don't know about this. A lot of melee players, I think, are running with added fire, melee physical, faster attacks, and so on, because they need it to deal damage comparable to casters.

so you're doing something like:
main skill + BM + added fire + faster attacks + melee physical + life leech

That needs a 6L already. If you're running a BM build, that frees up a socket. Which of the other supports would you give up to include IR/IQ?

I think skivverus was stating that a melee 2h is already 2x the base dps of a bow, so u could free up a slot for iq and have a good dps output.

Well melee suck in most important parts of this game but:

1. Its more fun
2. It needs more skill

At least melee players can say they are not carebears like FP, EK, LA users. Not to mention summoners aka put 2 totems go make coffee...

The guide to melee is give up on melee and go to ethereal knifes or lighting strike. Or drop melee weaps all together and go lightning arrow or freeze pulse.

I gave up on pure melee 20 levels ago. If you're set on melee, go ele melee i.e. hatred, added fire dmg, weap ele dmg, etc...

Edit-melee life leech should be a passive. If you want life leech and good/fast dmg, you need 5-6 link, then no shield, then you face tank w/o block--frozen, stunned, knocked back, interrupted, etc...
