what level do you guys think you should be to start grinding wells on a fighter? And how expensive of gear do you need to rape wells at that level

Melee is the hardest to well with so you're gonna need to invest quite a bit to be successful. I would say get yourself a good lvl 25 setup and well everything from III to VIII. You can get pretty good 25 gear for relatively cheap so its a good place to start.

I have a pretty decent melee setup and past 55 it does get challenging to say the least. Good luck with the setup man.
