How We're Approaching the Melee Rebalance in 3.7.0

Caster is great, now melee?

Edit: And Cyclone is now a Channelled skill.

cast while channeling cast on crit discharge orrrrr is that not possible

cyclone channel? + cast while channel ?

brb making a cyclone cast while channelling crash other people

So Chris, does that mean a weapon dancing gem is forth coming?

Agh, finally.
Melee has needed a rework for the longest time. Specifically the animation system which has always been it's biggest stumbling block.
While your on it, I hope Claws get a melee skill worth a damn, esp one that is good for bleed.

omg i cant wait!!! <3 melee

So I guess finally we can have Multistrike without "wait, 200ms delay and then move". Yea its your attacking animation but. You pay once with less attack damage, the lock in place(when u dont have alot as) is paying once more

In addition to what was said in this manifesto, there are some aspects of game that are making melee feel bad:
- Porcupines;
- Tormented Martyr;
- Nullifier;
- half of end-game bosses (which are making melee suffer for no reason).

Without reworking those, melee still would be bad.

HAH lets see if it's a shit show or a god dam miracle.

Time to comeback, right decision GGG.
