Do Melee classes suck?

[jbs89]

I'm thinking of going OGR or DE shadow knight, but will they suck vs Wizards?? I heard that Melee classes were gimped. Besides that I'm trying to figure if OGR is worth less mana pool/exp penalty or go DE for an easier play through?? I doubt no frontal stun matters here

[Marglar]

you're forgetting about slam.

[bakkily]

ogres can do some insane dps, though are big fat and clumsy, where as being a dwarf, you can hide and do barrel roll jumps which are'nt clumsy, just a little rollie pollie doing a barrel roll

[Zalaerian]

Melees are not gimped in group pvp. They scale with raid buffs while casters remain static. Melees win mass pvp. Casters not so much.

[jbs89]

Well my two thoughts are: OGR cant cast as many life taps/pvp will be harder to keep constant Melee hits. And that slam won't be as good as extra life tap spells. Do OGR really outshine Dark Elves significantly in damage?

sorry but for me, spell casting interruption is widely important

Yes. If you dont have slam on this server as a war or SK, your doing it wrong. The INT is not going to save you in PvP. Slam will.

[jbs89]

Ok sweet. Is the exp penalty as bad as monster penalty? Also I saw something about exp boost, that seems GG for leveling this ultra xp Penalty char

[Steaks2]

in the very very end of eq and daoc , melee reign supreme

but the road there is long and tough

and you will be farmed , alot

I can't comment on pvp on this server, But I can comment on being a mele in pvp since my whole pvp career on SZ and Zek I was a mele. 1st was a barbarian warrior loved pvp just took a while to get resist to where they needed to be. Also kick, bash, ect will interupt most casters (cant say for certian on this server) my 2nd mele was a Iskar SK loved him also, again the bash, and mele was huge.

I would not be afraid to be a mele on a pvp server.

[Salty]

Good luck leveling a melee.

See you in 2 months @ lvl 30

[beta]

Go melee! i enjoy the challenge :)

[Zigfreed]

Xping a melee was insane, now with the xp boost it's a zillion times easier. That said you couldn't pay me to play rogue or warrior.

[icreepin]

Mele will level slow if there are no groups I am going to assume one of the things that isnt a ton of is tanks. and when you get to raid level I am sure there are a lot of warr items that rot. With that being said once you make it to where you can level I am sure the gear will come quicker then lets say a pallie or a SK or another class simply cause the % of warr you have to share with will be low.

[jbs89]

Ok cool. I sold a level 85 DK so I'm a fan of tanking/dps, no matter how slow. I'm trying to find those old classic guides from a site. I remember it saying to put Points in Dex because classic raiding doesn't have as much Dex items. This site was up last year but I can't find it

With PL getting to 40 isn't hard, after that though around 44/45 it becomes brutal without constant groupage or PLs.

[Tassador]

Just make a halfling druid, server pop on halfling druids is diminishing and i would like to see that pop go up again. also if you get powerleveled to 40 dont worry about how hard 44+ might be considering you got powerleveled to 40.

[Steaks2]

lol you sold your death knight

confirmed will quit before level 15 on p99 red

[Flowz]

Casters in Classic, Melees in Kunark, Melees in Velious, has been this way for 13 years, dont think its gonna change.

[Vohl]

There are some big differences in PvP on this server.

1) Casters can hit you in the water. Effects like Blind and Root are very lethal here.

2) Casters can hit you at short range through walls.

The water will not save you. Running around a corner will not save you. In fact, you will not be saved.

[jbs89]

He was in t10.5. Cata failed. I bought godly D2 gears. I'm pretty much the best on East. #1 ghost and #1 conc(Melee) duels.

[Steaks2]

every single person in wow thinks they are the best on the server , its a wow fact

pretty sure saying you are the best on east is a bit higher tho , perhaps youve set your ego to maximum , confirmed you are worthless shit

Good luck finding a better Melee Barb.

Wrong about my wow acct, wrong about my d2 chars. Pathetic

[Marglar]

what the shit people still play diablo 2?

wait you spent RL money on diablo 2 gear at that?

[jbs89]

Wait people play a game from 1999? Is it good I dunno. People pay for lvl 50 chars??

Like I said my ghost is just as sick. Her claw is zod bugged to be indestructible with chaos runeword. History is from GL of Sins@d2jsp. Rest of gear is sex too

[Slave]

I may be a simple young girl and uneducated in the arts of war, but even I know that you can go up to level 99 in Diablo 2.

[Steaks2]

jbs please tell everyone your p99 chars name so we can make fun of you for thinking you are the best in the world at anything you do when meanwhile you are shit

[Knuckle]

Yes. If you dont have slam on this server as a war or SK, your doing it wrong. The INT is not going to save you in PvP. Slam will.

unless you are knukkle human warrior

[jbs89]

GL you won't know who I am until I'm #1 here. Then you'll quietly watch.

[Zalaerian]

unless you are knukkle, lvl 8 human warrior

[Steaks2]

ill watch you get to level 12 get farmed , get yer shit hole ripped and quit due to your lack of gaming skills , i bet luls farms you and sends you to bed mad

then you reactivate your wow account

You probably dropped 200-300$ on items alone for your character. I also see that you have a nice donation star next to your name that lets everyone know how much forum gold you have bought. Paying money for gear does not equate 2 skill of any kind, it just makes you a faggot.

[jbs89]

You think a tiny forum gold donation could afford that? Try a $600 sold WoW account. Lotta try hards here

[loserofgame]

So let me get this straight

You RMT'd your WoW account for $600

You then spent that $600 on d2jsp forum gold

You then spent that fg on D2 items, forum privileges etc.

Is this correct?

Try hards? Seems like you are trying 600$ more then me.

i played it around that era at work , i had a boring job

was great , every class all you do is right click to play , real skill intensive , but then again the kids all think they are awesome wat whatever they play

[steakshop]

also didnt you say you spent a whole bunch of money on your diablo 2 chars to win ? real money that is?

[Ssleeve]

Diablo 2 is for 8 year olds.

[jbs89]

No I didn't spend it on d2jsp. To afford my gear from d2jsp it would cost $6,000. And Melee is so simple all you do is click and hold(or learn to auto click). I seem to recall Auto Attack getting laughed at by the FPS community. What the shit did they know

And to reiterate I sold computer WoW pixels for D2 pixels using cash you use for groceries+ the good toilet paper u clip coupons for but can't afford. U mad?

[Lovely]

No Class sucks, just most players.

[SamwiseRed]

d2jsp ruined diablo 2. fk fg, fk rmt, fk softcore, fk hammerdins, hi
