New Skill and Support Gem Interactions

Blade flurry is melee??? LMAO its ranged and a dumb channel skill..

Melee has viable end game options with meta clear speed? hmm funny how caster people make assumptions on melee because one streamer played melee once.


Melee gets CONSTANTLY ignored with little to NO update from expansion to expansion.

I think Blade Flurry is the fastest boss killer right now.


Most of those you consider options are hardly “melee”, it’s not that adding the melee tag to a spell (blade flurry) makes it a melee attack skill.

Anyway, I'm not crying, I like playing with my melee skills, even if they suck compared to ranged counterparts.

But it's a pity to see how much more development goes to expanding/updating/refreshing ranged skills.
exactly bro..

its disgusting how biased GGG is

The question is whether you can call Blade Flurry a melee skill.


Why does it matter though? and what is this constant obbsession with melee skills.
Is it the fact that you can't just run close to a boss and punch it to death with a couple of strikes/swings? Or what is a good/satisfying melee skill?

This isn't spefically aimed towards you but in general, because it's brought up a lot and personally I can see a wide variety of working skills, may it be close range or ranged.
I wonder what is the duration of the Unearthed corpses and whether there is a limit to them? Can I spam a metric f*ckton of them and then oneshot bosses with Vaal DD?

blade flurry, ancestral warchief, sunder, molten strike - 'lots of options'

please, i know that making melee interesting is a difficult task but from the looks of it - GGG is no longer even pretending to try.

there are almost two times more blue gems than red gems. number of usable skills is not even comparable. and then there is that 'end-game survivability' question: compare Spectres with melee, or any standoff ranged char (ED?) with melee

or compare clear speed of Frostbolt + 2 bonkers jewels vs single target namelock with that Ancestral Whatever support.

melee? noob trap
You forgot about flicker, cyclone, ice crash,eq and cleave. All of them are pretty good.
Vaal Pact is dead, long live Vaal Pact!

The support doesn't work on channelled skills

Although, TBH, that would be way OP.

'pretty good' - how many of that 40/40 you achieved using these compared to ranged/meta skills?
