Just wondering how other melee are experiencing the beta?

Discuss.

I think the melee range could be upped slightly.
Casters that have several levels on you are murderous, naturally. Perhaps my cloth isn't cutting it.

You really want to know how the naked melees with shit weapons are finding beta? There's like 10 posts that demonstrate noone worth a shit is spending 5 played time days for beta, therefore noone knows.

Eh... haven't really got enough evidence to prove much, but my level 14 ranger can't melee for shit. I'm pretty sure I couldn't solo a low blue mob if I tried. It doesn't seem significantly different from p99, though, and I don't think it's far from how it was back then. Just the hit rate seems kinda low. Pretty sure my ranger does less than 1 DPS on average, no joke. Killing a blue mob (with my cleric healing) routinely takes minutes of just swinging and swinging.

Sounds absolutely classic. Melee damage output WAS horrible until you got really decent weapons.

Btw I guess OP was talking about melee damage in PvP. Melee damage against NPCs should be exactly the same as on P99 and I don't think it requires any beta testing (devs might correct me here)?

Hit rate is terrible, warriors will be totally useless for pvp and even holding aggro in pve groups unless this is resolved before release. I heard for 2 or 3 nights in a row where xant would hit maybe 2-3 times out of 10 swings.
