Basic Math - The Failure of Diablo Melee

[Mavfin]

I played a jabazon, barbarian, assassin, two different flavors of zealot (sword and board/two hander) through all of Hell LoD.

Perhaps that is where your confusion comes in. I only enjoyed D2 before its expansion, and in that phase melee was not happening.

If Blizzard waits over a year to improve melee in D3, and those changes don't occur until an expansion and some further patches after that, it will be the same story: too late for me to care. This is something they should have done better with out of the box.

The only one that tal mentioned that was only after the expansion was the assassin. Before that, the other builds he listed were STILL viable.

Yeah, the D2 he's recalling is not the one I remember, pre or post-LOD. Also, the D3 he seems to want...back to potion spamming? No thanks.
