A view on what's true melee from a veteran D2GM pvp player
" I didn't word it right. Damn it. Let me REWORD IT. IF YOUR WEAPON HAS REACH, BUT YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO BE INFLICTED BY YOUR OPPONENT'S WEAPON THAT ALSO HAS REACH, THEN IT'S MELEE. IF THE WEAPON IS EITHER UNWEILDED OR RENDERS YOUR OPPONENT UNABLE TO REACH YOU, THEN IT'S RANGED. With all intelligence, insanity becomes the backdrop of the good man, and will sooner become what usurps the good man.
If you tell a truth that people don't want to hear, the truth will imprison you. What's the point of knowing the world, if the world never talks back and others don't listen? |

" So what if my weapon is a 30 foot sword that also generated a force field around me such that my opponents weapon can't reach me. Is that ranged? |
|
" Ok so Cleave with "increased aoe-gem" is also melee? Cleave have so stupid big range with increased aoe, its stupid. Btw if u use a penis (right-hand only (main hand)) with the ability "cum shot" i dont think its melee anymore either. Последняя редакция: Pesstrong#2803. Время: 8 мар. 2013 г., 04:13:30

" I would say yes. Gems don't change things imo. Lets imagine "increased aoe" means the sword now has a 1 foot force field around it that acts as though it's the sword. Still melee. It's the equivalent of just having a bigger sword. Like Destro said, if I have a 30 foot sword that projects a force field around me, is that still melee? I say yes. Basically, if I were to simplify it, melee is when the force exerted on the enemy to do the damage is still in direct control of the character. For example, when I swing a sword and it hits something, I can keep the force going. Whereas, an arrow, or boomarang, only has so much to expend. The exceptions might be some form of spell-casting, but I'm sticking to normal warfare explanations. Последняя редакция: TremorAcePV#7356. Время: 8 мар. 2013 г., 04:21:33

" Wow, convoluted logic to try explain a ranged skill as melee. By this logic a Bow is melee. It exerts a force that is in direct control of the user. When I shoot an arrow at a target and it hits I can keep shooting, so therefore this must be a melee skill. /sarcasm A melee weapon does not have to do only melee attacks. Some skills give extra abilities to melee weapons that allow ranged attacks. To try define those ranged attacks as melee is just downright silly. A melee attack is where you are not able to hit something outside the length of the melee weapon. It is as simple as that. . Последняя редакция: Altadoc#4418. Время: 9 мар. 2013 г., 01:47:53

People are confusing REACH with RANGE.
Now, where are my spears? I want to make a impenetrable diamond and cast spells. |

Someone said poison dagger wasn't that great after synergies but..
I had a psn dagger necro and it hit for ~40k over 2 seconds or something. With angelic rings/amu and a decent bone armor I could cast the fire golem and basically 1 shot tons of people ?.? And if they got the antidote potion you'd just have to curse them and it'd still happen ?.? |

" Yes. If you have that weapon, your opponent has access to one too. With all intelligence, insanity becomes the backdrop of the good man, and will sooner become what usurps the good man.
If you tell a truth that people don't want to hear, the truth will imprison you. What's the point of knowing the world, if the world never talks back and others don't listen? |

" Well, I said it wasn't that great before synergies. Afterwards, I made a PD Meleemancer just fine. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. |
