Hey LiftingNerdBro

I'm doing some back of the envelope calculations with 4L lv17 gems and character ~lv75 and got this:
1.8(attack speed) * 1.9(multistrike) * 4.3(increased attack damage) * 1.54(Infernal Blow Base) * (1 - 0.3(multistrike) + 0.45(melee physical damage) + 0.2(frenzy charges)) = 30.6

And multiplied by say Marohi Erqi:
30.6 * 400(average damage) * 0.99(base attack speed) = 12100 (dps)

I'm very extremely confused with this since while this looks nice, I always assumed melee builds should have something over ranged builds and damage seems not to be it. I'm wondering why build melee at all? Yes this build is tanky but a lot of that is negated by the fact that it is melee.

For reference I built (barely knowing what I'm doing) a ~lv75 bladefall assassin with lv17 gems with well over 80k dps. I'm using complete shit gear with bladefall on 4L but have maxed elemental resists and ~2500 health.

Do you think it would be worth picking up Hematophagy, Lava Lash, and Bloody Bludgeon? I'm not quite sure how the life leech bonuses work but it seems like it would add a lot, with 52% increased physical, 54% increased fire with added fire penetration, attack speed, and 20% increased damage from Hematophagy while life leeching, which I assume is every hit. This is for SC btw.

ok running this build now a while, its a lot of fun - but i still think that its not true generaly saying "this build can deal with reflect maps"

Yes, deffinitly with physical reflect!
No, Elemental Reflect is fucking nasty and if there is any other bad affix on the map it just fcks you up big time as its perandus league.

on Elemental reflect i even run without hatred, without added fire and without weapon elemental. still when i encountered a perandus chest and they run into a infernal blow of me i just die in a blink of an eye.

Do i do something wrong not beeing able to deal with elem. reflect?
