ignore the 150 requirement. i made it eth with empyrean touch at 54% ed + x5 ed mystic orbs. technically this eth throwing spear is meant for lvl 140s. top end 600 dmg pretty strong excluding constant boosted blust procs. aka more realistic and potentially more damage than sam sword. i tested it in tier15 rifts and it clears decently well but lacks any real damage on bosses (its not terrible but it ain't great) and since dragonheart only adds vit bonus to %str investment dex loses some crucial survivability but still fine cuz dex is king late game.
over conclusions: holy melee paladin is just an absolute dogshit version of melee necro which does everything hmp does but better. literally
yeah but does melee necro has free 50 dr? NOIDONTTHINKSO
necros just flawed as a class in terms of flat and %physical dmg reduction but hmp and every other STR character is flawed as a concept because DEX is almost always superior late game even if STR has a use earlier on. maybe if all STR classes got some inspiration from certain aspects of Bear Druid then hmp or any other STR character wouldn't be so catastrophic.
not much u can do about that u guys
