where is the cast on stun/ pin/ daze?

most of the cast on spirit gems are for casters or elemental users. where is the physical and melee love bros? feels bad.

edit
gotta support our chaos bros with a cast on poison and cast on curse.

Even if they had them they'd all be shit.

You can only cast spells, and melee bros don't scale with spells.

So literally magic / ranged will always out scale melee at this rate bc they just get free abilities all the time.

Don't worry, they'll have something interesting for sure since they said they were gonna fix melee with PoE2.

Surely they won't just leave it where heavy stunning just knocks enemies away from you and with most of the skills that interact with heavy stuns taking two and a half years for the animation to go off, especially since there's no way to extend the duration of a heavy stun on a boss.

DO YOU NOT LIKE THE NEW AND IMPROVED MELEE THAT WAS DESIGNED FROM THE GROUND UP TO BE GOOD AND INTERESTING?

sort of yeah. there needs to be more/ stronger physical (and while stunned/ pinned/ dazed) damage nodes on the tree. also if i'm not mistaken melee weapon affixes don't apply to spells right? if thats the cast thats really dumb. it basically guarantees that spells will always outclass melee with all the cast on spirit gems. at least for clear you can scale aoe and physical tags and whatever else like projectiles which could help some melee builds.

they certainly won't leave the conditional skills alone that require stunned/ culling or what have you when everyone one shots mob packs at high level, right?
