In this video, I discuss the new buffs to melee in 3.25 and how an abilities damage effectiveness isn't a strong indicator if a skill is good.

  • Another Note: What some streamers who play in HC SSF deem to be strong has near 0% relevance on a soft-core trade setting. I would guess a vast majority of HC SSF will be melee builds, since progression is typically to kill bosses and melee is looking very good for bossing. That being said, I will be playing some melee builds in 3.25 in a soft-core setting for a change of pace as I like build variety. Edit: A lot of haters on this video. TLDR: Melee is strong, but clear is not (especially for 1st build), so going a heavy strike bleed build (or similar) for first build is ill advised.

    yeah melee is still melee log the fuck in
  • @Koush88
    I was born a dual striker and i will die a dual striker... many times and lose my map
  • You: “don’t get baited” Me: “I’m gonna kill Ubers with a sweep build” We are not the same
  • Bro i'm playing melee since i start play poe theres no way i'm get baited😂😂😂
  • Do you have any pobs for strenght stacking wanders? What do start with and when to respect the tree or sum? Iam not good in putting builds together.
  • Lightning strike vs manaforged arrows? How is this comparable?
  • Can you elaborate on the wand strength stacking? 🤔 (I know nothing about wands)
  • hey dude sorry to bother you, is your pob for discharge still viable in this league?, can i copy exactly what you did? or i need to change something? thanks
  • @iGunZx34
    Hi, by any chance do you have any link that i can use for varanastra build that you are speaking of in your video please ? I can't find one, seems like it's hard to find info of.
  • @keasol
    What build do you recommend for mapping with good speed focused on strongbox?
  • @xtgigr3eni323
    I'm planning on going Splitting Steel Trickster since it seems nice and tanky with a good balance of mapping and bossing, any recommendations for something similarly tanky?
  • You did counter skills before. You think retaliation would be great? I can't do triple-counter like you did since sword storm is dual wield exclusive and the other 2 are sword shield exclusive but can they be viable as a main skill with the new glad?
  • LS Varunastra charga stacking slayer ? How do you stack charges on a boss fight ?
  • @rehrocko
    what's your opinion on flicker strike with these changes? i believe that the damage effectiveness increase is a massive buff to physical ( no more cold due to hatred and raider nerf ), bleed flicker strike seems like a possible build with big enough hits to kill packs and vaal flicker to kill bosses.
  • For Cyclone Slayer what would you say has the best scaling between Axe Impale and Staff Shockwave? Also what would the best weapons be? I'm guessing regular weapons with good affixes are better than uniques but idk. I player Necropolis with Atziri's Disfavour cause I like the AOE Edit: Maybe even swords are good?
