SUGGESTION: Remove Melee Skills from the Game!

[Poyzo]

Developers are wasting their time (in all Diablo-like games, actually) trying to balance out range and melee. I'd say forget melee and just focus on range skills!

Hear me out: range skills can fight at a distance, or in close proximity. Meanwhile, melee can fight in close proximity, but not at a distance. Developers know this and try to balance out enemy and bosses abilities to make it "fair". 'Screw that!', I say. Just focus on enemy and bosses ability against range targets, even if the range character moves within melee range, have the boss let off a nova or something.

"What about Warrior and Monk!?" you say? They can STAY IN THE GAME! If you look closely, you can see that both Warrior and Monk get mid-range and range (throw) skills!

True man, they all hate melee skills :D we are suffering all the time. only like 2 months ago when i tried melee in poe 1 again its decent. in the end u have it always work harder as melee no matter how good your skill/gear is. its just the fact that ur melee and "they" are range" but besides that, i totally agree with you. nobody has a decent balance in most melee type of games except the souls like i experienced so far and maybe lost ark? but yea i can just repeat it, i 100% agree with you.

Melee can do range and melee as well. have you even looked at the skills.

melee, melee is useless due to how spells behave. They boosted spells to the moment where every spell is "poe 1 cyclone build" smooth cleaning entire screen while moving. So everything becomes one-button holding builds.
so i guess.. in terms of "cyclone" - we have all skills a melee for some sort of thinking..
the combat is even less meanignful than in poe 1 on most builds.
