RE: Melee Caster doesn't seem to be viable?
@Obeliske my build is pvp focused, altough I see a way to modify it for pve at some point.
Also its far from complete, but it does pretty good so far as melee builds are lacking.
I see new meta being born right now, melee tank builds do very good.
I WAs going after tauren hunter fantasy, but it turned more into enh shaman playstyle because of "must have" abilities.
I will post the build in-game in few days.
Its agility based, counter attack and black arrow (modified to black widow strike) and raptor strike are your main abilities outside of WF.
I combined WF with Seal of Command and warrior talent for Xtra attack + trinket for Xtra attack for RnG burst.
Maelstrom procs with fireball once jn a while + frost shock and arcane shot for range abilities.
Hunter talents give you a lot of attack power for your abilities.
Avatar and Pain suppresion for defensive CD AND dmg boost.
Mark of the wild epic Re for atk power buff
Crusader enchant
And you can pick flurry for faster attack or the talent from warrior tree for armor penetration.
With everything combined you are looking at 400-800 ability crits, WF around 1. 2 non crit proc.
If you are blessed by RnGeesus, you can go UP to 2.5k WF + Seal of Comm proc, not including auto attack dmg.
This WAs my build couple weeks ago, I changed it quiet a lot since then to fit the melee hunter fantasy.
Now its almost pure physical dmg with a bunch of CC where I can lock somebody for solid 10 seconds and get the edge in the fight.
In the end you have to remember you are a melee and everyone has a way to kite you, but you still make them shit their pants once in melee range.

RE: Shadow Caster Help
@jadeydash death bringer is pretty good as well. Shadow bolt + dots and drain life, mind blast for healing reduction and you are pretty strong in pvp. Big self healing, average dmg but you will out last most builds.

RE: Melee Caster doesn't seem to be viable?
@Obeliske I agree on your last point.
Had very very big expectations for syndicate shot and range stealth rogue ( ranger) fantasy. Sadly its very bad, cool for the fantasy but super bad in pvp, may be good for 5 point opener with preparation. Overall not a big change for compound hunter.

RE: Melee Caster doesn't seem to be viable?
@Obeliske you wrote pretty big post about something you didnt test to its fullest.
I had the same idea as you, wanted to build a old school 2 hand windfury enh shaman.
And I managed to do it, got the exact same feeling and playstyle.
What I build WAs actually a melee hunter (deadly bite RE) + maelstrom, ftost shock, Windfury + seal of command(very important combo).
Also used fireball for maelstorm, since I had wing clip and frost shock already.Geared in hunter gear int / agi / stam / atk power.
Then I swithched to more warrior oriented play style, removed maelstorm, frost shock and fireball and went for dmg buffs instead for even bigger RnG WF and earth shock, heroic leap.
So far I really enjoy it, really plays like old school vaniila enh shaman, especially with big weapon, crusader ench and big tauren.

RE: With new Season and lots of changes, is Melee still trash in PvP?
I see a lot of melee tank builds in bgs and cat form hybrids.
Personally I play melee hunter and im doing fine, easy to play with a bunch of CC and strong auto attack dmg.Inside arena I saw only stealth builds as melee.
Overall melee is average at best Inside BG.
There are still many new combinations to be found and I think melee builds will shine in the next few weeks.

Hey, i wonder why i got banned ...
So after the release of MC , i found a bunch of items on high risk in the world, sold them at AH and now (like 5 hours later) it says my account has been closed ?
Name is "Beatyomeat" is it possible to be banned for name ?

Syndicate shot - is it good ?
Hey, i've been trying different builds with this for a few days and i find it hard to choose one.
The dmg itself is kind of low, 270 % weapon + 170 something, which translates around 500 crits in pvp. At best.
Currently im playing compound ranger with vanish and cheap shot included(thats how i call it), pretty much range rogue.
While its very fun as class fantasy, its average at best imo.
I'm looking for suggestions, for new combinations with syndicate shot as i love the idea behind it.
