If melee is so hard to design, why does Barbarian feel great in every single Diablo game?

spin to win is far more superior to every other melee attack ever created.

I am not sure how GGG was ignorant enough to launch PoE2 without ANY "spin-to-win" skills for the Warrior at launch.

It's almost a requirement for ARPGs, but yet... nowhere to be found, and not on any horizon.

But they sure as hell made sure SPARK made it over...

What is needed is sustain skills.

I'm going to change the shape of your context intentionally without breaking this requirement.

This requirement is what makes "holding 1 button build" always inferior. It fills the "in between" moments most effectively, the perfect sustain skill.
-> "One shot" is a killer content for "H1B" build. "too much mobs", "mana issues" etc as well.
Edit: "One shot" -> "We don't even have to hold 1 button, just 1 click". This is the precise, logical consequence.

Slow everything
-> For now, let's assume we have hidden mod "players have screen wide Temporal Chain aura".

Let us move quickly
-> "H1B" achieved implicit "zoom zoom".

"ZZH1B" is now the most ideal build concept. We cannot deny our own requirement so let's make another shift.

"Hard code" each functionality to define exceptions/limitations strictly.
-> "Class-only Skill", "+X seconds to total attack time"
--> "Let us do the same like Monk", "It's BS. Remove delays"
---> GGGGG==;;°ω°)っ[ZZH1B]
