if people insist on building shadows and rangers like marauders (pure life builds).. well.. good luck

i have a shadow that is tankier than most of the end game marauders and he has enough damage to do 100%+ courtyards in reasonable time

evasion so suck, so bad. yeah right

it is just the way people build their characters and how much thought they are prepared to put into the process.

Is your Shadow an actual true melee range character? If it's not, that's moot to this discussion. At that point you're playing a pseudo range character. You and I both know that you most likely can't eat a chain of physical hits, if you do you're dead. If you're layering defenses together (as in using Coil/Taste of Hate/Fortify/Endurance Charges/etc.) then those defensive mechanics are arguably stronger on a melee character in most cases, especially when you can get your life pool far higher on the left side of the tree rather than the right side of the tree.


The only reason why a true melee armor character sorta sucks is that the game is more about avoiding damage taken rather than actually making a build that can take hits. Ultimately the best way to play the game is just to avoid hits rather than coming up with something creative that can actually tank and take hits. Best way to do that is to play range and the PEWPEW glass cannon.

That's such a cute statement, especially the Unwavering part.

I would've been impressed if you had actually linked even a triple dmg mod map and cleared it without dying. Instead you link a single dmg mod 90% (actually 70% since it has 20% quality) map that isn't much different from a white map.

Sigh. Why'd I even expect to see something good.
