No disrespect, but that's not true.

It throws the current MELEE WEAPON at an enemy to attack it.


"Projectile, Attack".
Honestly...in this case you are wrong.

You are right, there is no melee "tag" attached to ST. However, the skill itself is definitely melee orientated (gameplay wise)


Ok great so there is no Melee tag on the gem and Melee modifiers do not affect the attack but it is still melee

Fantastic, thanks

I'm not. I'm not fucking arguing whether or not the fucking skill has a silly "melee" tag to it. The skill itself is melee orientated when you use it in game. For example, have u ever seen ST melt down bosses in single target? They are right next to the boss, in MELEE FUCKING RANGE, and attacking the mob. If that's not fucking melee for you, then I have no fucking idea why I care to even continue to fucking post here. If you want to fucking distort the word melee, that's fine and dandy. However, in my books ST is still a melee orientated skill. Yeah, I fucking know it doesn't have the melee tag applied to it. But even the god damn description says it's a melee style of gameplay.

so if it says you were throwing FUCKING BANANAS instead of melee weps would it still be melee??

So by that logic point blank + barrage using a bow or wand is melee also

I like you

Nope! Nice try Trader.

Because the description says

"It throws the current melee weapon at an enemy and returns to the player, dealing damage to enemies in its path."

A weapon could be a banana, so still melee. Unless you are talking about the banana MTX? If so, just a MTX applied skin, doesn't change the description at all -- still melee

Well, it's technically melee if you are up close in melee range throwing your weapon. Obviously barrage doesn't have the melee tag applied to it too.. but I get your point

Not really, you just keep fueling me by replying flaming.

Read the description of the skills before you spew bologna
