Spectal Throw is not in line with melee

You see, PoE mechanics dont allow players to stack "too much" defence. No matter, how deeply you invest into defence, hp, block, etc, you still can be killed, or even oneshotted.

This is false, i have a character that cannot be killed except by dominus palace map touch of god with 4300hp.

(even atziri does nothing to that character)

sorry for off-topic.

I partly disagree with the title,cause spetral throw is not in line not only with melee,but with ranged as well.ST is as much an insult to melee as is to ranged,especially bows.Ando no,ST should not even be equal in power with other melee abilities.If you want strong ranged attacks USE A BOW.

Now moving to the other discussion,about crits and daggers being superior to other weapons and non crit builds FOR MELEEE,facts CLEARLY prove you wrong.Until recently there was NONE crit dagger/claw melee level 100 in ANY league,while there are dozens of axe/swords max block builds.You cannot build an effective tank that uses crits,i have tried it with a mirrored dagger.I do agree that ambushers speed is too high,and should be scaled down to 1.4 attcks per sec,but then again,the problem mainly lies to the fact that low life+onner force+blood rage+enhance gives you 100% inreased attack speed,which is clearly broken.It's like having alost 2 extra increased attack speed gems on you.

It is working as intented,if you wanna go crit,spend shitloads of damage and do the highest DPS,you go with a crit weapon,like daggers or claws.If you want a non crit build,that balances defenses with offense,or is a straight out tank,you go RT with an axe or a sword,and THAT is the most effective way to level to 100 as a melee(i have both a tank and a crit character levels 95 and 96 respectively,so i have tried both).A dedicated crit character,has his damage as his main source of DEFENSE as well,nerfing that down will destroy him.Not to mention that with the current situation,a crit dagger build without atziri;s acuity SUCKS.Claws are better off,but still face problems.

So yeah,while i agree that ambusher's attack speed will be halved,the actual statistics on ladders prove you wrong that crit dagger/claws MELEE characters,can make stronger builds than other weapons.
Here is a thread that i made awhile ago,using actual numbers to prove the broken synergy of lowlife crit ranged,which unfortunately did not get much attentio https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/921344

And Tinko,you of all people saying that crit melee is superior to non crit,i find it weird,cause i have seen your videos,and they were some of the most insane things i ve seen in this game,especially considering that you were not using aegis aurora,if i remember correctly.

flicker strike also has the same power as spectral throw
