Maybe I don't have the right AMPs to be overpowered, but I certainly didn't feel OP with my strongest move critting for 3k while an Esper dps *cough* crits for 6k.

I didn't forget about that but really.. after having seen the range on what other classes have..
Melee really needs a massive advantage in this game not to be crap.

It's 100x easier to miss things, far harder to avoid damage for the obvious reason that you need to stand right next to your enemy..

I'm honestly not very hopeful for any daring soul that picks a melee class at launch.

While I agree that the life and play style of a melee is a lot harder than ranged in this game, I disagree that it makes them nearly unplayable - you just need to really pay attention and choose your positioning and ability sequencing.

I saw a lot of you guys standing/running through huge red AoEs, chasing low health targets into bigger groups of enemies without any way to get yourself out alive, using all your CC on single targets back to back and then having nothing when the next wave showed up - #punished. Even having a healer in the group you'd all go off on your own/LoS/overextend. I know I'm not the best to give advice on that last point, but when I fuck up like that I'm sure to blame myself not the class, or range of my attacks.

Yes, I think that Stalkers are weak at low levels, but it's a stealth class and you all were playing them like you wanted to roll with the Spellslingers. You complain about your damage out of stealth and then train your targets across the map, never dropping back for a restealth. You say you're squishy and yet save nothing to help you survive. You say melee range puts you in a bad position because you're standing in the middle of the group, not behind or circle strafing the outskirts hitting them with the tip of your telegraph.

I'm not just talking to you Evo (not personal), I played with a few Stalkers/melee this weekend and heard a lot of the same stuff. Yes, hearing the same things from multiple sources might mean it's true, but I also saw a lot of what you all were doing, along with knowing how I play and the success I've had, and I have to say everyone could just play better.

With all that said... nerf the fuck out of 'Slingers.

And ofc the usual disclaimer of this being low level BGs and not level 50, fully geared, Arena.

Honestly you don't think I didn't realise I was on a suicide mission when I was going after someone with low health and no escapes?

Of course I do.. because what's fun about melee if you're just supposed to hold back untill someone finally manages to F**k up?
I don't enjoy that playstyle, and that is why it's highly unlikely that I'll be having a stalker to start with on live.
