patch 11.0 and melee

This patch was no help to melee. It hurt melee with the less life nerf.
Did you even test this with a melee build? Was hoping to try the new league with a melee build but not going to happen.
I had hopes but very let down.
My ground slam marauder is doing great! Less life for players but mobs have less life and do less dmg now. Couple that with increased physical dmg and you get better life leech and faster kill speed. I'm not sure why you are having problems with your melee character.

Ground slam is not melee.
But my heavy strike is. Man that skill tears it up.
It seems the issue isn't regular mobs but bosses and spike damage like roa. I personally don't know since I haven't played and wont until the 4month. But that's what I'm gathering from all of the posts I've read. I really hope they got it right this time with melee and most of the complaining is just because its "new". Though I have to admit I'm not going into the 4month race with high expectations. Something tells me nerfing mob damage and then nerfing survivability with slightly higher dps wasn't a very good solution.

^ this
As i said game is same, how it can change when they just scale down hp/mob hp. Melee problem isnt dps, but survivability.

This patch = same builds / same OP things / melee still suck.
Any other melee input about the new patch?

It really hurt elemental cleave in my opinion that is buffs physical which is not apart of my build. The fact i don't have iron reflexes and use elditrch battery and rely on arctic Armour for survival, just feels a patch with -500 life and -100 mana:(
