lvl 99 melee wolf , GGG Melee sucks

i reached to lvl 99 ssf on a melee wolf shaman
dont get me wrong the wolf is cool the new weapon is cool
BUT playing as a melee in poe 2 is pain in the a** u suffer more then a ranged build in every possible scenario
u cannot build a real tanky build
ur range sucks , ur dmg sucks if u try build some layers of fat
u suffer more from all the possible game mechanics that are super punishing for melee more then ranged
u waste triple the point of the passive tree for survive ability just be able to even play ur spending points on aoe in passive tree to make it somewhat playable

i dont see any reason to play a melee build in this game ever again

Bro you reached almost 100 level.... There are other builds that can't exceed even 95 level. Ofcourse melee sucks over ranged attacks but your char potentional reached to an end. Try something else or wait for Templar class.

game is on 0.4

its early access
just wait.

You're going to get a ton of updates, new features, and balancing changes.
You survived through 99 levels tho, meaning you didn't die a lot, if it was that bad you would've given up way earlier.
Tech guy
merely tp focus on leveling kills the soul

Play wolf myself and dying is usually carelessness at my part or lunar blessing not staying active properly
Reaching lvl 99 with melee and saying melee sucks is crazy work xD

IDK how that's possible unless you climbed with a guild or something.
I would say where you went wrong but I think it mostly boils down to you impossing SSF on yourself.


The items that would make and take and combo for ES/Armour hyrbid are just lacking. Missing life rolls, and/or low life rolls is going to really put a dent on your build as well.

No Armour applied to ele mod on every single piece of your gear. Thats pretty bad...

Armour always has the balance of life with it, and if you run with 1.85k health and only 23k armour.... and then a hybrid ES of only 3.3k, yea things are going to suck.


Melee, unfortunately OP, is not the issue here.


Mash the clean
Path of Melee 2.0! Just roll another character and wait until release. Maybe they'll fix it by the expansion for PoE2

That simply means his feedback has more weight than other melee users that did not reach the same height.
