Best gear modifiers for melee?

[chester]

I’m playing with a friend who’s using mage, so I’m guessing warding would work best for the higher defense, but this is my first time using melee so I just want to be sure

[jonasaboo]

Melee characters already have a high defense compared to other classes. I'd say use Menacing or Lucky

If you're looking for defense just use the flesh knuckles

[Tesko1777]

defence or extra crit chance is what i used

[Sexy Moonlord]

i do full warding and if you can slip some flesh knuckles into your accecories

In most cases, Warding or Menacing are the best reforges regardless of class.

Lucky and Menacing are more or less equal since Lucky gives 4% chance of +100% damage, basically 4%. Menacing however is generally more consistent, therefore preferable. Additionally, Summoner gains nothing from Lucky reforges.

So, since Lucky might as well not exist, Menacing and Warding are the way to go. Unless you're playing Master I guess.

warding is for people who cant dodge. if you can dodge, then youd prefer lucky over warding.

Not everyone is on the same level you are- especially not players new to this game.

I suck at dodging and i still prefer Menancing over Warding.
Having high defense on Expert or Master barely helps and enemies get more tanky so you need extra bit of dmg.

Going melee with full Warding on Normal on the other hand is just a waste, You don't need it might aswell go Menancing or Lucky instead.

Menacing is best for melee damage. Warding is best for defense, I like going for a balance of both.

[elastik band 2]

I like Menacing more. If you're on classic mode, that means the choice between -5 damage reduction per hit and +20% damage.

If you're on master mode, Then it's a choice between -14 damage per hit and +28 percent damage.

mage

lucky

yes

Mage's weapon arsenal is the most varied, so naturally it can go either ways for you.

But mage is the best class to be using luck modifiers on. This only applies if your world has Orichalcum however.

Orichalcum helmet + reforged accessories = base 50% luck even in pre-mech boss. You will do better damage then most menacing loadouts, although your lack of set bonus will be a thing. Mixed armor sets man!
