Melee is impossible now.....

Honestly this just seems like a build issue. "Warrior spear with minions"? How are you scaling both minions and spear damage in act 2? Whats your gear? Play a simple build like mace+shield and its very smooth. You just charge around stunning everything and its dead before it can hit you back.

" you are assuming too much. With spear you get a free offhand as it's a one handed weapon, so i'm using sceptre to get 100 extra spirit. when leveling I use skeletons because it's basically a huge buff (meat wall) for free. I am focussing the entire build around rage, spearfield and rapid assault. using rake only for leveling. later i will use malice sceptre with enfeeble and wither maybe too for end-game. My build isn't an "issue", it's doing perfectly fine against all bosses and all mobs. it's just that the league mechanic is way too overtuned that melee is having a lot of issues with it. and i'm seeing online a lot of people with the same conclusions, even people who play ranged builds like bloodmage (neversink). |

" im not pulling the entire map, if you have eyes yhou can see these are normal mobs and abyss mobs all stacked ontop of eachother and since I am slow (melee) and need to get in range (risk of getting stunned), i am forced to kite when engaging high density mobs groups. "just play the most broken and over used class bro" what a great advise (satire) |

" it's a rage spear titan build (dont have ascendancy yet). and for extra skills i use occult ones to debuf enemies with and since you get a surplus in spirit but can't do much with it early game. I am using spirit for skeletons as an extra meatwall. |

" yeah but that's what paradox and I mean like, it's 2 disparate things that you're not scaling together. the skeles aren't holding aggro or scaling your dps multiplicatively so it's a waste of spirit at a high cost: your shield slot, which would give you literal invulnerability to hits via active block/parry, easily stuns mobs (enabling aoe chains), and passive block for occasional mit. you don't need more distractions you need damage if you're giving up so much for that spirit. like if you wanna play spears instead of maces, that's cool, but even if the build comes online later it's not online right now from the looks of it, so it's hardly fair to say its impossible when you've split your focus. https://imgur.com/a/j8wvjY8 this is what i mean by you're giving up tankiness. lab at 22-23 and jammies at 32. sure, you can't hold block down bc you'll eat heavy stun but it's enough to sit there and whale on rares (and you can block volatiles now). | |
" Sorry to say but you are doing all wrong. You roun aroudn DEEPER into the area you have not explored yet aggroing More monsters and more monster. It is OBVIOUS that you will be surrounded! You get space to fight moving sidesway and BACK from where you came when you get too much to chew. Not moving deeper into MORE MONSTERS |
