well, whoever has mirrored weapons, they gonna wreck everyone else, simple as that. since cyclone nerfed to ground, the way initiate as melee doesnt matter anyore, all you gotta do is faceroll towards your opponent with maximum leap slam attack speed and hope for the best damage roll, and kill the opponent before rumi expires. s
melee fights are mostly about gear check. i have no idea why are you putting so much credit on idea or how you justify it as "exciting balanced or whatever tournament" idea. i'm not intending to bsash anything here, i'm just curious. also as scion whoever has the best jewels as melee, that's gonna mostly decide between who is the winner in high end geared pvpers. "You have great power. You're right to be proud. It's unfortunate you have to die now, but I will honor you with 45% of my strength."

" Rup, melee isn't 100% a gear check man. Non mirrored weapons can hang with mirrored ones and there's a few item combinations I can guarantee are competitive with mirrored counterparts. It's mostly things like legacy Kaoms versus new Kaoms or legacy Aegis vs new Aegis were you see disparity. GGG fucked up in that sense, leaving legacies in the game in the first place.

Can't wait for those to reach std.

also why the fuck did they deleted the block reduction passives for swords. what was the reason? what harm were they doing there while standing still?

Rup, I support the idea because melee is underused in pvp and it's a new playstyle for me and hopefully to others as well. I can't foresee the results, but I believe it will be more fun than just the overall meta matches. If someone goes tryhard, we can balance them by swapping team members for a balanced power level in a 3v3 or CTF.
I think they deleted the block pen nodes from tree because it was PvP only, and it was confusing / non-intuitive to leave it there when it's not useful in pve content. IGN: Márkusz

" Feels worth while bringing this up in this thread. What are the rules for what constitutes melee for blonde brigade combat? I can't see lacerate making the cut, unless you're allowing block. If the answer ends up as no area melee skills, will that include vengeance? "That's nice cupcake" ~ Rlowe, 1984 - RIP in pieces, least we 4get

" All melee counter gems are crap in PvP unless you're crit, which Brass Dome counters. The best use of these are to simply proc effects and not really for damage. Unless you see worth in 100-500ish PvP damage that procs other peoples trigger set ups that do 1000-5000+. Scion is the best base because of ascendancy. Melee is the best option because it's the most balanced against itself. You can't let Earthquake in if you don't let Lacerate. So it's either allow any melee skill or restrict it to single target only i.e Heavy Strike, Double Strike, Dual Strike, Venom Strike etc.. GGG, the ADA of gaming....huuuur i gotz mai skilz.

" Well, I sorta figured that was the angle they were going for, lacerate and earthquake aren't very meleeish as it is. " I already recall that bleed on hit is okay as it's a weapon property and poison requires you to use a ring, ascendancy or gem so it's not really for free so I figure that gets a pass to. My vengeance hits for average 16k and that's with a bunch of non damage gems slotted into it and applies mad bleed and poison damage. I'm not sure about the mechanics behind all that so I'm trusting you know your stuff, but even the well known zephri's builds have been caught off guard by it, even if they just gotta switch some gear/behaviors to avoid it.
