Uhhh, there's far, far better perks than more melee range in D2. If it was 1 hit from front (in which case I'd advocate for a 2 hit from front system over reducing the range), you'd have a point. But as it stands D2's melee is one of the weakest melees in any shooter. I would much rather use anything else over an enhanced melee range. You have summoned me.

  • Actually there are very few perks that compare: Sprint speed + slide distance (every class has these) is one, Gemini Jester are another one, also handling and reload from Ophidian Aspect. There might be something else I just don't remember just now. However when it comes to melee, it is not weak in this game. 2 Last Hope's bursts + melee kills very fast, 2 headshots from HCs + melee kills very fast and so on. Get good.

    For starters, you're the one asking me to get good when you're requesting unnecessary nerfs. Second off, the only instance you described where the killing with a melee is actually noticably faster is with the hand cannon, within melee range, the melee is still an incredibly weak 3 hit kill. Even with 2 shots from a hand cannon (which are headshots, unless you're talking high impact, which can 3 shot head shot in many situations, making the melee have very little over an extra shot, on top of the fact that headshots aren't the most consistent thing to land within any melee range on any weapon) you've still got a limited range, even with the increase. On top of the fact that you have a pretty large delay after the melee, enough to get you killed if you miss. So yes, the speed to damage ratio of the melee is extremely weak, and in most situations is the same or outright worse than just using a gun, only really conserving ammo or serving as a last resort.

  • Even 3 bodyshots from 150rpm HC + melee kills technically in 0,9 seconds instead of 1,2 seconds. That is noticable. With Last Hope the same TTK is aroun 0,5-0,6 seconds. That is very fast. I am telling you to get good because you are obviously not. No good player talks about triple meleeing people in PvP...
