I had to open this thread to understand what melle is.

And I misspelled melle as "melee" while typing this post!

Melle is a jurk. A jurk who represents a statistically evident larger portion of the playerbase that causes the developers to realize they can make more money by charging for each new Melle set, but a jurk nonetheless.

Please don't confuse the OP with facts. Facts have no place in these types of threads.

Let's see.. GR Launch:
-Dual Pistols
-Demon summoning
-Kinetic Combat

i21:
-Beam Rifle
-Time Manipulation
-Street Justice
-Titan Weapons

Coming:
-Dark Control
-Staff Fighting
-Beast Mastery

Let me see...
2 Ranged, 2 MM, 2 Control and 4 Melee.
Plus, from i21 till today, only one of the new sets was free for VIPs, and that is the saddest part.

Yeah, Melee seems to get the most love, prob cause it's more populair, but still.. give some love to the rest too.

Must be a commercial decision. I mean, how many people do you see today with time, beam rifle, elec control, dark blast (since the blaster version is kinda different)... I still see tons of StJ and lately the amount of melee toons (of all kinds) in any team has been staggering, nowadays it's not uncommon to see 2-3 Tankers on a team. Not even counting TW because it's too new but I guess it will remain popular since it's so good.

The only non melee 'newish' powerset I still see plenty is Dual Pistols.

Interestingly, though, 40% of the basic ATs use melee sets...

A new armor set is long overdue. The last was shield defense and you can't pair it with half the sets.


Another support set would be nice also, but I would be hard pressed to say any new support set would be competitve with kin or cold, which is really unfortunate.

Half?

You can't pair it with: Claws, Spines, Dual Blades, Katana, Titan Weapons or Staff Fighting. Let's see, there are, what, 17 melee sets in the game? Not half. A few would be more accurate.

Did a little fixing.

And that's not counting proliferations, of which there have been bajillions.

Of scrappers' 15 melee sets (since when I talk about shield defense, I specifically mean scrappers), 6 of those can't be played with shield defense, or 40%, which is pretty darn close to half.

Then of those remaining, how many of those sets would whoever is looking at playing shield defense not want to play? For me that's 4 of them (BA, WM, BS, and MA), making 66% of the sets not playable with shield defense. Having mutually exclusive sets is really limiting to what you can do with a powerset.
