Things you will NEVER do playing melee:
Avoiding enemies by running around
Avoiding projectiles by running around
Running to take cover behind obstacles
Using mobility skills to get out of bad situations
Using mobility skills to get in good positions
Using mobility skills multiple times (once is bad enough)
Relying on self-controlled defensive skills (everything should be on CwS and CwDT)
Picking your targets personally (every attack should be either shift click or auto aim)
^ Complete bullshit.
I run around all the time, hide behind things to break LoS, use whirling blades to reposition, I don't have any auto-casting gems linked, I NEVER shift-click and I am 100% self-found.
Oh, and before some derp-hat claims you also need either Iron Reflexes or a bazillion armor, I have precisely 1% armor mitigation and about 3.5k hp.
Level 71 melee in Nemesis. Seems to me like most people need to either:
1). Get a better internet provider/computer.
2). Learn to play without blaming their suckage on "desync".
Agree with symban except... I would say: Things you probably won't be able to do playing melee.
As for Miszou, I can provide you with some nice videos of couple of desyncs in under a half a minute.
Why are you people blindly defending desync? It's recorded millions of times.
I can constantly desync in a lot of games if I want to, but I don't have to. I can do all the things symban said and barely desync.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.
I'm truly regretting rolling this duelist because it is just so frustrating and stressful dealing with all of this desync.
You can never slay the lag monster so you need to work smarter ... jack up Resists, DPS, Life, Armor in that order.
Melee was extremely frustrating until I found the Blender Duelist build. Less Desync issues.

im just mowing down anything with my cyclone, yes there is some desync but if you cant tank the mobs for 3 seconds you have done something wrong in your build
