Empathizing with melee fighters

Tbf Lightning Spear is more goated than all the available lightning spells. High damage, long range, accurate, fast projectiles, and forking.

I hope you won't take my answers as insults, please don't, but I disagree about everything you just said here.

Lightning Spear is good because I know how to use it and scale it to beat T15 even more. We often underestimate our own knowledge in games, as if the whole world knows how to make a build that works in PoE, but how many people are actually reading this and posting about it on the forums? 1k? Maybe 2k? At this point, who are you comparing me to when you say you're doing well because you played a broken skill? Some nerd who played PoE for 16 hours daily and got their ass flattened by a chair? No thanks.

Honestly I enjoy the challenge of melee. It's like a secret hard mode. Unless you're using aoe abilities which may as well be ranged, it requires a measure of thought and careful maneuvering to do well as a tru melee toon.

Whose secret is it? Any mid-level or high-level player can tell you what it is. What's so secret about it? As others have said here, you can't maneuver while attacking with a melee skill unless it's something like a rolling slam, so I don't know what reality you live in, but I'm not there.

It also feels like magic should / is supposed to be superior. It's magicians casting powerful spells, while my warrior is a dude with a hammer.

Who would dream of playing a virtual game by the rules of our reality? How do you know magic is rare in Oriath? Did you live there? I'm really curious about who tf you're.
