I think melee is terrific...;) I especially love the "ram" move for my warrior (still using Madora)--it's one of my favorite combat plays. Then there's learning how to use the most effective weaponry--crushing weapons are devastating against skeletons, etc. I enjoy using two melee fighters (fighter and a ranger) and two spell casters--what's really cool is the "ram" capability is exactly like giving a melee fighter a "ranged" capability. He (Madora) can close with combatants in an eye-blink over healthy distances to deal a powerful blow--and from then on he's right where he needs to be to melee fight!
I think it's very sad, but some people simply don't want to learn how to play a game--instead, they keep trying to change the game to be congruent with the rules in some other game...that's really kind of pitiful, as they lose so much enjoyment that way.
I'm never wrong about anything, and so if you see an error in any of my posts you will know immediately that I did not write it...;)
