Melees need to be nerfed

[BarrySeal]

There is no strategy to being a melee, click one button and that is it auto attack everything in sight. Need to tie something to make them less effective, maybe each swing that connects they lose a HP? But it is ridiculous that I can go a whole quest and not use a single pot or resource to complete it as I have to with other classes. Unlike my cleric or Sorc I am at least tied to how many shrines or SP pots I can buy or find during game play. Can we at least make it a challenge?

Time to take a big fat nerf bat to melees they are ruining this game.

Not only is this one of the most rediculous and absurd titles I've come about in a while it's content is in absolute terms mute and fallacious to say the least.

bwah ha ha ha....seriously? you have never done epics or elite TOD? then you will know the difference. DPS toons are a little "easy button" but at the consequence in damage vs a caster in these days of DDO.

Tell me. why in the world do people say nerf this nerf that? Did someone not get a "nerf" ball from santa when they were young? Good lord here you go...
Monks are fun to play. easy to level, and do good damage. Are they the best DPS? No...(I have 2 capped TR'd Monks and love em) but the amenities make em nice. Higher level stuff is difficult for DPS toons and tanks due to the boosting of boss's. (now they all are going on diets....lol). But really? Sounds like some toons are built well and others aren't.

Good toons don't "run dry" on SP's unless they aren't doing it right or playing with other players who are not doing it right. I can see some hard epic stuff a caster/healer running dry at times but otherwise? Maybe a strategy change is in mind?

DPS toons DO NOT and i repeat DO NOT need a nerf. They have already been nerfed...Look at rangers....The tempest line losing the 10%?!? that's huge.

Watch a shroud with 10 dps and 2 healers go in and time it.....vs a shroud with 2 healers and 10 casters...which one would be done first? I know.......

I love this thread!

If you're serious, bless ya, then you've given many people many joy. If you're not then you're sitting back with a huge cigar smiling at the comments!

Win.

It's a funny post! Stop doing drama over a joke!

And here's my contribution to it.

1 - Melee is OP: Play a Melee and be happy
2 - Caster is OP: Play a Caster and be happy
3 - Divine is OP: Play a Divine and be happy
4 - But I like my toon: Play your toon and be happy
5 - But my toon is not a melee and melee is OP: Go to 1 and stop whinning.

My opinion: Casters are OP short (depends on mana) DPS, Divines are good all around, Melees are Good long DPS (can take a beat and hit back).

I chose Divines. I only play Clerics and FVS, pure and splashes.

why casters have mana? they should x uses of spells per rest for example 9 uses for lvls 1 to 8 and 8 for lvl 9 that could solve op casters, no self heal because in Dungeons and Dragons caster cant self heal, also he should be squishy should have max bonus to hp +2 from con like in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons because they are still op. noone have with em chance on pvp, even if u have good saves he will kill you because of irresistible dance and meteor swarming because u cant evade bludgeoning damage..

[Blank_Zero]

If melees are OP, why could we do every raid on epic with all Casters, pre U11?

If melees are OP, why can't they be used for efficient scroll farming?

If melees are OP, why is only 1-2 casters needed for anything?



Please don't nerf my melees anymore. U5 was plenty thanks.
