..why CoC?

Double Strike + Melee Splash + Multistrike + Added Fire Damage in a BoR

or Double Strike + Melee Splash + Multistrike + Added Fire Damage + Mana Leech + Life Leech if you're a 6L chest with no Soul Taker

you do remember that you're supposed to be running around with 5 other competent people, right? you don't need to flood the screen with flashing lights.

edit: if you're melee and you're not using Multistrike, you bad.
edit2: or cyclone

because cookie cutter melee is what makes melee boring lol. I have had a BoR build when it was the cool thing to do that pulled 70K with resolution technique .... dual strike. You are talking about the most boring, regular melee builds there. That is really old.

People stopped making those builds cause are always the same and on a huge disadvantage compared to other classes. You must have been playing this game less than me probably ...

yes melee is a disadvantage, im not sure why this is even a discussion

contribute to the discussion or don't post

Ok melee is at a disadvantage because the need to be at point blank range to attack, that is basically what melee is.

we're discussing the viability of melee builds, not how flashy they are. it's all about how you play, melee is not at a disadvantage. you're using the wrong word.

I am not talking about flashyness. I am talking about technical huge disadvantages compared to other classes, and how melee has been left over as the more inefficient thing to play.

Melee needs new, much more developed skills and a huge buff of its core mechanics to compete with other classes. Let´s see if GGG is going to do something else to it besides buffing the damage.

back in my day melee wasnt even viable cuz this game was so clunky. it's come a long way, and melee has plenty of variety. no one's discovered it yet because they're too busy exploring their bows and arrows or their black magic.
