You can complete all content except Samael and Diemoss with this updated build, but Melee Sorc in general is just kinda mediocre b/c DPS isn't that great, especially in End Game. Also, it's a terrible farmer.

Toraja is now lvl 120 and Baal 125.

Fixed.

With the relic changes are there no recommendations for melee oskills?

None that I've tested.

Edit:
The big problem with using Relics as a Melee Sorc is weapon restrictions. Many Relics require certain weapon types, but you're stuck using a Warp Blade if you want to also use your native skills. That said, you still have some options. I'll use this post as a sort of progress report on Relics I've tested that actually work with a Melee Sorc.

GOOD RELICS:

Relic (Divine Judgment)

Relic
Required Level: 75
+(9 to 16) to Divine Judgment
+(21 to 25) to Strength
(2 to 4)% to Strength

= it won't make you a Paladin, but it's better than anything Melee Sorc has, especially against single targets.

SUPPLEMENTAL DAMAGE RELICS:

Relic (Shower of Rocks)

Relic
Required Level: 75
+(2 to 7) to Shower of Rocks
Weapon Physical Damage +(70 to 90)%
Physical Resist (1 to 2)%

= decent. The cooldown prevents it from being a straight replacement for anything, but it's a pretty good supplement against tanky single targets.

Relic (Hive)

Relic
Required Level: 75
+(11 to 21) to Hive
Maximum Poison Resist +(1 to 2)%
+10 to Frozen Heart while Carrying Periodic Relics
(Hive - Nova Charge - Path of Flames)

= okay for supplemental damage while in melee range.

Relic (Path of Flames)

Relic
Required Level: 75
+(6 to 13) to Path of Flames
Fire Resist +20%
+10 to Frozen Heart while Carrying Periodic Relics
(Hive - Nova Charge - Path of Flames)

= same idea as Hive, but doesn't seem as good.

Relic (Fortress)

Relic
Required Level: 75
+2% to Runemaster Defense Bonus while Fortress is Active
+(11 to 22) to Fortress
+1000 Defense

= not great on it's own, but it is another source of supplemental damage, so...

RELICS THAT WORK, BUT HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN TESTED BEYOND THAT:

Relic (Hammer of Zerae)

Relic
Required Level: 75
+250 to Maximum Lightning Damage
+(7 to 16) to Hammer of Zerae

= Requires a Scepter, but since Moonstrike works with Scepters, this Relic might be workable.

OTHER RELICS:

Relic (Banish)

= Seems to help boost clearspeed a little.

New to melee sorc, what is the interaction between Moon Strike and Bladestorm? Why are there two melee skills? Do you keep alternating between them?
