Viability of melee classes

[Skeptic_Zero]

Planning on coming back for the new patch, was thinking of playing a melee sin. I don't see any updated guides - can anyone tell me roughly how it plays and its strengths/weaknesses? Is it viable for an untwinked run right off the bat on a fresh patch?

You need to see list of changes for new patch first to be able to tell how it will perform.

In the last patch - the current playable - melee sin was only good after eating lots of sigs and with about half the charms. But getting there is very difficult and requires a countless amount of deaths.

If melee sin doesn‘t get any changes, it will be the same in the new patch.

I mean if you could benefit from both claws in terms of procs on kill,strike,etc sin would be awesome in terms of clear speed.

The Killspeed isn‘t the issue. It‘s her survivabilty.

dual wield offhand procs and affixes stuff (apart from the list of stuff that works regardless) is broken til sigma, which i believe whist has alerady fixed that issue.

i know it does but if you’re using a skill like noctule which is using main hand your offhand procs ain’t working ,only if you kill,attack with offhand wep and makes no point to use DW

yes that's what I said

nagisin worked well for me, but as stated above, you need all sigs, charms and good gear to make her enjoyable to play with. Playing untwinked might be a pain. or just reskill to caster and pew-pew all.

That's kind of a shame. What are currently the most viable melee options? I know Barb is a perennial choice. What about unholy pala?
