Blizzard I have been playing this game for 20 years and i came to one final conclusion. You hate melee. My favourite char is fana paladin and it sucks. It just sucks. While hammerdin lamers can swing through the p8 game without any gear , melee chars just struggle to p1 and you are ok with that. Why are you so f.. afraid to add melee splash damage? Where is mf solution for melee chars? Why is there only grief crap? You tested the game?

Physical damage is not too low.
Elemental damage is way too strong! Sunders and hard -resistance is a cheap fix for immunities.
You can’t bring physical damage to the same level, because physical is the best damage type in the game. It offers mana/life leech, open wounds, crushing blow and triggers “chance to cast” effects. Imagine having elemental-like damage with life leech? lol. It would make you INVINCIBLE.
The problem: The whole system is outdated and should be reworked, but that would cost Blizz a lot of money.

Melee is great and the most rewarding play in the game. Get good lol
Yes Elemental /Magic casters are too strong. A single character should not be able to clear P8 content comfortably. But here we are. Without a massive scale back buffing melee (very slightly) might be the easiest fix but it should never be on par with casters. It should bring the requirement for end game gear down for melee but not to the point that low grade gear suffices.
