Title says it all. I tried playing a seeker for a bit but it seems people are more interested in other classes. I love playing melee so I was wondering when it comes to damage dealing and all the classes that use melee which is best at that particular job?

    IMO, all classes can DD to some extreme, all depends on the skill choices you made along with the gear youre using. How you distributed your stats plays an important role.

    Assasins do the most damage but blademasters are fun to play.
    What kind of fool pays for a free game.

    I wanna say seeker, but; Assassin. :\
    Good intentions are like peeing yourself in dark leather pants, you get warm feelings inside, but it doesn't show.

    Vit build axe barb. Hands down.


    Unless of course you want to hit your target more than once. Then the answer is Assassin.

    IMO, all classes can DD to some extreme, all depends on the skill choices you made along with the gear youre using. How you distributed your stats plays an important role.

    Smacking mobs/other players with balls is not a good idea, and thus, the Psy is one class that really isn't built for Melee. You CAN build a 4.0 fist/claw Psy. But... WHY? Same with Cleric, Veno, and Wiz. You can't even do that with Mystic. Muah. Though you can build a 3.33 or 3.5 aps Mystic using a magic weapon... It'll shatter probably every day, though. Pointless.

    BM, Sin, or Seeker for Melee DD. Just be prepared to tank on all of those, as well, since Barbs are being used for Buffs and rugs only now.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.
