<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Well, i'm into NM now and my melee zon can still hold her own.
At lvl 50 she is equipped with the following, a rare circlet that adds life and some resists. A crappy amulet that only adds a few resists (need a mana steal one!), a decent rare ceremonial jav that has 50 max dmg, adds poison dmg, lig dmg, and +1 to spear tree, rare armor that has beefy defense and resists, the ral-ort-tal quest runes in a tower shield, vidala's fetlocks for boots, bloodfists for gloves, rare belt that adds life and FHR, life leech ring and rare ring with resists.
Her skills have LigStrike maxed and is on her way to maxing PlagueJav, after that i will boost Charged Strike for the LS synergy bonus.
In normal she is easily capable of solo'ing Diablo and Baal, which makes for some good item finding runs. All her resists are maxed and she owns even the toughest monsters. The strategy is still to toss a Plague while approaching and then run up the mob and LS away. LS deals out some massive dmg. If the monsters are spaced right, the CL bolt can hit back and forth all 20ish times. I think its dmg is 1-400 or something right now. The Plague does 600-700 over 9 seconds.
Her high defense, shield, dodge/avoid/evade, valk, and merc prevent me from getting hit. Even when they do, the damage is not critical. I'm only in act1 NM, so maybe this will change by act5.
Things i need to make her better is MANA LEECH. Right now she cannot LS continuously, so i have to use pots. Which at this point is fine since you can buy mana pots, but i know she will be a lot better with continuous LS. The ability only costs 9 mana so having it leech back shouldnt be too hard to accomplish. Of course a higher dmg jav would help, some day when i find a great drop i will try and trade for Titans. Its sad that in all this playing i have yet to find a mana leech ammy or ring, what the heck.
I'm looking for a Shael rune to make the rhyme shield, that will help with the blocking considerably. I think i have enough decent items to trade for it, but i need to find the right guy willing.
I;m still having fun and i hope to not die anytime soon. When people see me run up to a big group of monsters and LS them all down with ease they are pretty impressed. "Is that LigFury?" they always ask. I've played both java and melee now and i think LS is better than LF. The CL moves around fast and hits the same monster a ton of times on occassion, i watched one time a LS CL bounce back and forth between the only 2 monsters on the screen 8 times until they were both dead, it was funny. Like LF, LS is better with more monsters on the screen. My attack rate with the ceremonial jav and bloodfists is so fast that it looks like i'm using jab, so in a few seconds there are 4-5 Chain Lightning bolts flying all over the place bouncing 22 times each.
Again, i'm sure i'll get owned in Hell, but as long as i can MF in NM i'll be happy.</div>
