I just cant stand those bullshits "I am melee so I have to be able to facetank everything in game!". Even as fking melee, you need to move from most deadly thing. You cant just stay at "tentacles" or "blood ball" in T15 core or at Pozza Blast of Uber Atziri because "you are melee". If it is possible, build have to be nerfed, because game is just too easy with it.

Melee are by their nature close to dangerous things. So they should be able to facetank more of them. Or else what's the damn point? Let's say boss have 6 attacks. Out of this six let's say 4 should be avoided at all cost for most ranged - but only 1 should be the same for melee. If melee couldn' facetank more or do way more damage then there is no point of being one! Or you don't agree with it?

So for you and for Kastmar, melee should stand for character, who can literally afk in battle, even with end game boss, because "he is melee, he shouldnt use brain to play"?
Go play Diablo 3, there is plenty of space for braindead players like you.

I agree with your general feeling, I believe just 'cos you're melee you shouldn't have to stand in the voidzones and not die. (See World of Warcraft for example, melee or ranged, you stand in a voidzone, you fucking die.)

I'll disagree with diablo 3. Once you hit greater rift 80+, melee or ranged, you WILL get one-hit-killed by most of the dodgeable things.

Shaper of Desolation now grants different Confluxes over a fourteen-second cycle: Chilling Conflux for four seconds, Shocking Conflux for four seconds, Igniting Conflux for four seconds and then all three together for two seconds. Each Conflux means that any damage causes that Status Ailment. Elemental Conflux was too powerful. The new version requires more strategy

Through most melee still could take more damage or/and have better save abilities. And often better damage too. There should be tradeoff where you trade something for range. Else balance is flawed.

Main difference between PoE and D3 is build complicity. Not skill you need too play. Brain you need to play - may be. But not skill.

Oh. And in WoW there is tank. Who CAN somtimes stay in void zone. And under boss damn dragon breath. And all other abuse that kill everyone else. That tank protect DPS - melee and ranged. And there is no tank in poe. Ranged are protected by range. Melee... sorry. No luck there. You tank for youself or die.

TL/DR for all my posts - ranged have HUGE advantage over melee of being well.. ranged. Melee should have some other advantage over ranged then - either more tankyness or damage. Cause balance.

Stop, stop, stop, Kastmar, you spent to build 100 ex, in which you can not die and kill all... Do the same thing, knowing that you're immortal? Ok... And what's the interest in the game? The game should challenge the player, is not it?! Then maybe it is different - you do not play, you just feel like you're imba... By the way, imba - imbalance, as a variant of the acronym «I'm Best of All», as an option «I'm Bad Against». Something is obviously too cool, disturbing the balance of the game.
