Unless they get buffed so that you don't feel like you're losing DPS when you use them.

i doubt a melee channel will get 15ft range any day ;)
Once activated, melee channelling skills have a range of 25ft.

And thank god they do... NA latency makes it hard as is for melee classes but at least that is the one dependable ability we have that works. ;)

The only exception ( someone correct me if i forgot one) is the slayer/choppa self heal, and lets face it, slayers are too busy speccing ID, so the only one you would see on this server is the choppa one.

Oh, and wrecking ball is awesome. Not from the damage, but just because its awesome.

It was a white lion I think
It almost certainly wasnt a channel, the only channel wls get is whirling axe, which is aoe and also terrible. You might have seen them using coordinated strike, which hits 4x (counting pet hits) and is pretty awesome, though its not a channel.

And yes, I forgot ED and three hit combo, I dont know how I missed that yesterday, used to be one of my favorite skills. ED is seriously underrated, and it will be great with the 2 dok 2 mara meta we are going to see 24/7 in t4.

Them stacking futile strikes was the best part, since dps tanks arent exactly crit dependent. And if a mara was good enough to time his interrupt for ED, well, I guess he deserved to beat me.

ROA can do nasty damage when coupled with fierce might but that's really only a solo trick tbh.

Due to it's range nature it's alright for applying kisses, or applying pressure while closing. It's tons more useful than trial-by-pain which is so cool looking but absolutely terrible.

Don't forget the no-so-melee but simply the best - Trial By Pain.

Whirling axe is best ability in the game. No contest here.
