Quick heads up: Melee is completely terrible.

I've already grinded a caster, and now I'm almost through Act 2 on a melee and the melee build feels twice as good.

I can one shot every single white mob, and I'm stunning bosses in three hits and almost killing them during the heavy stun phases.

Dodge mechanics is all I can see for people struggling

Playing as a Monk, died 49 times getting through Act 1 :D
Getting gear for upgrades / becoming tankier seems like a pipedream, literally nothing drops. It's hell out there :P

lvl 44 monk, having the easiest time of my life nuking bosses, skill issue.

Gotta disagree personally. Just got my ascendancy on my Warrior, and I’m having a blast. The trial wasn’t easy either, took me two tries and almost bricked the run both times but managed to finish it. Not sure about the Monk, but the warrior is meant to be a very slow class and starter. The class doesn’t quite come online until you get your ascendancy and passives. I’m still having a good time on my Warrior (Close to 30), and again it’s a very slow class and even with buffs it’s still going to play slow and that’s just the way it is. Lots of getting used to.

If you’re playing warrior, make sure you’re grabbing the easy armour up nodes. Herald of Ash and infernal cry’s also a must, if not your damage and clear is going to feel bad esp without HoA for clear. I know a lot of the warriors are running earthquake, and I personally never bothered considering how slow it is to trigger. Rolling slam is going to be your bread and butter for a while. Also don’t see get talked about a lot, but perfect strike just DELETES bosses, so make you’re running it. You do need to find an opening, but use it after infernal cry to just run over bosses.

This is the way a child would act.

I really have to agree, melee feels horrible once I got to act 2.. doing mace + shield and sure I can't die but it takes me 30 minutes to slowly beat a boss to death.

I don't really understand where I can improve on the build either, I was keeping up with my friends as we went through the content but once they got to act 2.. I can't keep up in the slightest.

Not to mention the first ascendancy for melee feels counter productive.

Get good.

I'm a Monk on Act 3.

Completed my ascendancy trial with 2 gold keys.

Depending on the skill level, you get wildly different opinions on that topic.

Sure the scorc might be the nuke class atm, nontheless a warrior is capable of dishing out higher alpha damage, but just in bursts between the dodges.
TTK is naturally a bit longer but i wouldn´t call it useless.

Don't worry guys, the devs are 'brilliant'. Most combos with Mercenaries weapons do maybe around 200% weapon damage tops (in many cases far less).... but if you merge with Ranger gems and get 'gas arrow' on a bow with 'fires an additional projectile', you can detonate the gas arrow for ~850% weapon damage a piece, x 2. So you have the option to NOT do that, and do 200% dmg per shot... or deal 1700% weapon damage with NO COOLDOWN.

That's right. Gas arrow has NO COOLDOWN on a 1900% weapon damage ability. These devs are CLOWNS.
