Full melee Dungeon viability

I’ve done mostly melee (some parts are nearly impossible melee), and mace/focus and hammer have done me best. I main hammer, then when I see a big attack coming, or if I need something to clutch protect, I switch to mace/focus for four potential blocks and the repeated blind. Works wonders while cycling between autoattacking on the hammer for constant protection and some clutch damage mitigation, all in between waiting for heals to come off cooldown.

Guardian Shouts...

Also is the trait Pure of Voice broken or does it only work some of the time? (As in a 50% chance) I want to convert conditions into boons and heal myself even more with Altruistic Healing when I yell at people.

To a certain extent. I have noticed about a 10% chance that a shout wouldn’t remove the condition properly, but it’s been fairly reliable for me up to this point, so I have not traited it elsewhere just yet. Having a low health pool means I need to have a lot of condition removal to stay alive.

Sigil of Accuracy?

I looked around, but haven’t found any new threads with correct information on whether these stack. I’m asking about both being on mainhand/offhand and on two-handed switching (like with a hammer and greatsword both having the sigil).

There are some posts where people talk about boosting with the dual sigils, then people come and say that it doesn’t work. I’m so utterly confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This vista made me rage so hard on my first time there. Then I solo’d that place on every other character and it wasn’t hard at all. Just know how many mobs you can comfortably solo, and do that. And don’t fall off the edge.

one of our party members got kicked from the party on his end, but to us was still in the party. he could whisper and talk to us, but none of us could talk back. if anyone else is having troubles feel free to chime in.

Yes, had this problem with my AC run yesterday too. Two different party members suddenly said they were no longer a part of our party on their end, and we had to re-invite them. They were ninjabooted individually too.

Also, earlier in the day, we were doing a HotW run with some other people, and four of the five of us (I kid you not) DC’d over the entire course of the run. Lag spikes were hitting everyone, even though no one outside of our instance was having that problem. Then NPCs would repeat their dialogue no less than four times. We all agreed the run was cursed, and just quickly killed the Butcher and left with our tokens. (One poor soul got 30, too. )

No idea what was going on there, but it was really odd.

For path 1, when you save them it means you have access to the unexploded bomb. One of your party members can then use the bomb on alpha to take ~50% of his health.

Oh my god, I had no idea…

And in regards to the Evolved Destroyer, that one is just dumb time waster for me. It’s just always two rifle warriors jumping down to the safe spot then taking quick shots at him until he’s dead. Quite a boring way to end a particularly interesting run.

Transferred approximately 2g and 30s to bring my gems to about 800, then bought a character slot. Nothing happened besides the hint telling me that items are directly sent to the mail. I have had 0/10 mail in my inbox for a while now too.

This is my first purchase from the gem store ever.
