Rather than keep the guides private, it would be a great service to the community if you could explain why you believe these options are best, and how they are superior to other options. It does others no good to have guides kept private, and it does not help much to have inaccurate guides either, but supplying and explaining strategies agreed to be highly effective by many players and proven superior to other tactics is greatly helpful to less experienced players those not well versed in game mechanics.

he obviously is voicing his opinion.. if you do not agree with it, or care to allow him to voice it, please make your own meele guide stating your opinon, or, you could be the one doing the "test" and get some hard research instead of making him feel retarded......

Criticism is a argument, if your gonna make a guide expect to be criticized

nice

but yeah, make a guide, expect criticism

also i kinda like stats and actual backing of why you go 150 dex
kinda like this

he placed ome maths around it i love numbers

well, one problem, everyone has different ls gear

different gear (especially weapons) means that 150 dex on ur character can work different than 150 on another character.

120-130 dex works about the same as 150 dex. The only difference between 120-130 and 150 is how fast you attack and how much damage you take from a critical. There is not a sigificant increase.

Strength is way more productive then dex now.

The best setup now for welling is a character stacked with life and strength and Very nice ee weapon and life steal if you can get it. If you can't afford to get that. Then this melee build will not cut it. You be better off going caster.

Heres my setup on HC.

Magical ultimanium sword
Level Req: 55
Damage: 100 to 1003
+156% Enhanced Effect

Mythical diamond chain mail
Level Req: 40
Defense: 37 to 93
+40 Strength
+2 Life Regen
+1 to 5 Mana per Attack
+3% Life Steal
+1% Physical Damage Reduction

Mystical earth IX
Level Req: 30
Spell Damage: 86 to 150
Mana Cost: 85
+108% Enhanced Effect
+33 Strength
+1% Life Steal

And my stats of the character.

Str: 186
Dex: 55
Int: 20
Vit: 75

This is at lvl 63. I have no problems and there are still areas I could improve on such as getting more life steal and strength. Having dex is not required. Str is now just as effective.

Isn't a guide pretty much made from personal opinions? If you have a problem with the build MyAddiction is recommending then simply don't use it. Enough said.


I can't wait for the full version cody. Thanks for the guide

Not really. You want as little opinion as possible, what you want is fact. Due to all the specifics of game mechanics not being known, you have to test as much as possible the different variations. I can't give input because
I havn't done so.

Eh, a guide should show the most effective way to do things. Saying "150 dex is best" isn't the most effective.

I have a problem with an inaccurate guide, that tells people the wrong thing. No point making a guide if you don't make it good and make it correct.

It's nice that you make a guide for the community,
Yet my experience makes me pump up strength and stat dex to 110.
