Any good melee builds for 1.3?

Lol

I love melee, just hack and slash monsters to pieces...
But it's starting to feel like GGG wants everyone to cast shit to kill :(
Shit's getting worse every patch!

Is there any melee build left that's effective on 78 maps after 1.3 with self found gear?

How about you do both? Cast on Melee Kill will be insanely strong this patch.

Well on top of being melee you decide to gimp yourself further by being self found.

Best advice anyone could give you is to...

So, no good melee builds :S?

Yes. 300% life Cast on Death Detonate Dead. The 'death' and 'dead' is apt when referring to melee :^)

i want melee too, but no idea which skill gems use

Nope.

I kid. Ground Slam Marauder is one way to go self-found. It's just that melee builds tend to rely on decent weapon stats, and those can be hard to get when you play self-found. It's much more effective to go with a caster and take lots of aura, spell, or elemental nodes so that your damage is based more on gem level than gear.

Like Tempada stated Ground slammer is a self found viable build but you will need to craft or probably more likely buy a better 2h as a Geofri's Baptism will only get you so far.

Attack based builds relies on weapons which are almost impossible to guarantee as self-found.

So if you are talking about 78 maps, the only way to guarantee dips is ele auras most of the time.

However, with the promise of easier level 8 masters - it may well be very feasible to craft a high end weapon in which case the best build is probably crit dagger reave.

c'mon, bro! i don't know a normal guy who uses this stupid gem or someone who will sacrifice 1/3 of his dps for some stupid spell on KILL...and it's on MELEE KILL!
maybe if it wasn't "support" like Cast on Crit, but like Cast when stunned or Cast when dmg taken -separated from the attack skills...it could be more useful, but it's another briliant idea from GGG :/
about the autor's question-there are 2 melee skills i like and could be good enough /but i'm not sure/-Infernal Blow and Molten Strike for 1h wep+shield...
