My advice if you want to play melee go play POE1.
POE2 is such a slow tedious game unless you're playing a blaster.
Have to wait to see if axes turn out decent but a lot of the problem, really the core of the problem, is that the warrior side of the passive tree is garbage for the most part.
The armour nodes rarely give anything especially useful.
There are hardly any life nodes.
And the mace skills are all just trash.
If I can drink sips of tea between mace slams, they are too slow.
They promised they fixed melee in PoE2 though.
