My numbers are all from the game. I check them before I post them here, obviously. So yes, AoEs (The big ones, that is. They're the "oppressive" ones after all) are 40 secs of cd.

Pstrikes was... Nerfed, recently. As in, it was even stronger before. I am not sure why it wasn't good in your opinion, but I assure you, it was.

I also proved why melee isn't half your spending (should be 50) unless you commit to the tree, and even then, you can easily go up to only 75 in costs.

you say it should be 50

but you don't play melee

see the difference here? play a melee before making judgement calls on it pls

These are the costs for the spells, man. It has nothing to do with playing the tree. I don't need to play it to look at the costs and say "these spells only cost you 50". I am not trying to get into petty arguments, but I am fairly certain that discussing something rather than telling others to not do it is better. Sorry.

that is not the issue here

dash strike, cleave, double and fatal along with a stance hit 55 rpps
all of which are easily avoidable with a simple aoe. literally.
psmash is good only for it's slow and the damage it deals, the fact you can switch it up between cleave and pstrikes sometimes makes it worth the wait
fatal is virtually impossible to hit unless you corner your target or have them slowed, either with psmash or a homing slow and most of the time fatal is an invitation to a beam, since it leaves you open for it lmao
that's what i mean about 'u not playing melee' the numbers don't even matter when it comes to the play style honestly.
play a melee for a week then tell me it deserves a nerf and i'll happily accept, that's what i meant

there's literally no functional melee build that you only spend 50 rpps into, prove me wrong
