Make Melee Great Again this 3.25!

or as long as you know of what you are doing.
Melee in fact does require more skill and knowledge than any simple range build or glass cannon nuke build.

Why does GGG hate melee and melee players so much?

Path of Magic

People can play melee with any skill they like, provided it's ranged.

Haha... +1 to this.

Found an ancient document from 1819 illustrating how to fix melee in PoE to enable the slaughter of any possible beast.

-Just add a 20feet long pole to any meleeweapon
-Increase Partysize to 7

Nice found... i just found out that Vikings used gatling guns to kill dragons. Melee Shield and Sword are nerfed during their time.

Yeah, but thats not a dragon, that is a rabbit ^^
Back in that days "the 7swabians" didn´t have the technology* to animate* dragons on their servers.

There's the problem, why should someone be expected to be an expert to play an archetype that is very basic and primitive as melee. You're hitting something with an axe, you're probably a simple man that just wants to hulk smash.

As a simple man you should probably avoid needlessly bloated and complex games don't you think? It's not like i think it would be bad if melee in POE was just "equip a big stick and go smash" with zero brains required but let's be real, it's not gonna happen. Melee requires defense and defense in POE is complicated.
