Is Last Epoch Finally Buffing Melee? Fans Hope For Changes in Season 2!
It appears from Reddit discussions that there’s a widespread agreement: melee characters require some enhancement. User Cattleman_Joe highlighted the issue by saying, “Much of the melee content is being overwhelmed by power creep.” He explained that while ranged builds keep getting exciting new abilities, melee skills like “dancing strikes” and “swipe” seem more outdated with each passing day. Players have observed a growing trend towards ranged attacks that inflict heavy damage from a safe distance, which makes close-quarters combat less attractive, especially against enemies capable of delivering powerful blows. Ideally, melee characters should be able to dish out significant damage while also taking a good amount of it, but many players feel this isn’t happening at the moment.
