Pretty spot on with what holy melee needs doing to it, colosseum just needs to be made less clunky, or maybe just bring back merkbah but change it slightly, I miss merkbah.

-Faster 2h is a must tbh, unless you're using venom sting then it's hard to justify using a 2hander.
-Maybe adding flat defence to incarnation per hard point, could help with the pretty low defence overall without making it too strong.

The good old original and true lazydin, so many people miss this build. Aoe aura that hits for weapon damage with low weapon modifier. It was really fun and popular skill, imo it could easily be back in the game in some form.

Melee at least in normal, total destruction.
Single target skill got buffed a ton, plague/retal also stronger, feels extremely solid.
How it scales into endgame, time will tell.

One question, how does Divine Judgement work now in terms of melee/attack/on strike proc? Just logged on 1.1, have 1 point in both retaliate and DJ, but as retaliate single target dmg is low as usual, DJ simply shreds (with reasonable AOE) in Torajan Jungles.
Equipped:
Skald gloves RW (40% frozen souls on melee)
Dreadlord helm RW (25% mind flay on melee)

Plague dmg (maxed) is almost negligible (at least by looking how slowly hp bars fade, 13-22k over 4.3s). Is it worth now to max DJ? Or its just some random weird stuff happening?

I played as holy melee through hatred and it seems to me that Divine Judgement missiles don't actually do much,but there is a huge burst of damage when you first use it,and then about 2 more bursts throughout the ability's duration. It fucking annihilates everything though, and it does indeed make plague seem obsolete, at least early on.

I've been using TU Holy Lance and my arrows aren't proccing that much with DJ, retaliate actually seems to be proccing them more often.
