not so much, tempest still does a ton of damage with aoe's. now if you're thinking aoe + melee I could see replacing the single target bolt spells with other skills, but for pvp the single target bolts are needed.

but i am a proud owner of a melee radiant... my bludg does more damage then my bolts....

I miss the day of pulling several mobs and just standing still using magic and melee mix then moving up the path to the next bunch. They would have to give Tempests a little more defense back to do it or make Godly Mirror Godly again first. I could go for the idea sure =)

Melee Rad was fun too, but I outgrew my Pions Bliss and my staff does more phys and magic dmg now. I dont like staff slapping things lol. I dont solo grind her anymore anyways.. dont grind her at all for that matter :P I'd take her out for a spin again tho if heals were needed for grind parties again.

With the skills as they are, a melee tempest would be a waste. But it could be nice if they make a few changes in that direction.

yea but there again its about play style too.. would be nice to be a little versatile and not copy n paste :P

/edit but yea I do like my quick farming abilities with pure AOE build.. not much for pvp with my Tempy so no idea there how it would be if you could actually stand and take a hit from someone hehe.

yea it would be great. i tried it out. with WoG i put out a lot of dmg, more then my bolt. but an aoe build is much better. i do wish for a tempest/rad melee to come back though, it was fun being one

Yes, but to make it happen they should add at least 2 melee skills in the templar tree and 2 in the tempest tree. They would need to clean the trees, make WoG and BoH go to the templar tree and erase Invigoration, Magic Shield Mastery, Resistance (Curse), Concentration (give the dna to Bessed Revelation) and maybe Ion Shield (and give an improved dna to Divine Protection).

But as it is now, is too ineficient, and wog is only useful to buff others.

Weapon of God must be magic damage buff and will be more suitable for tempest than ridiculous melee buff.

Nah, that would be too oped, but they could make WoG a short/long range dmg buff instead of just short range.

Then the would have to change the name of the skill to Magic of God or something.. I love buffing melee's with this skill, to help them take down the boss faster and they love it! Its also nice while farming in the rare occasion I hit the mob with my wand I actually do dmg. But I play the support part in raids and parties with my Tempest, always watching out for someone to need a quick heal or a def boost.

If anything they need to change for the Tempest is to give them res skill back so they can take care of the fallen so people dont have to go back to spawn or wait there dead awhile til they realize the Radiant isnt leaving the Tank to get em off the ground.

ow Hi all ( sry about my english)


I really love this topic... I have a temp and now he have 4.3k HP at lvl 65 magic resist around 75%, curse I buyed this passive resist skill at 9% to help me... and put defense in my armor and with my bufs its around 850 ( may be survive instinct must back to the templar skill, I dont remember exactaly if in S1 it was in templar skill, if not, just an idea). Its help me to survive against some melees until help comes... Unfortunately some stuns Kick my temp off in a few sec... I dont think of a melee temp but have some defence agaist it would be nice, god mirros from S1 was amazing, in S2 nhah I think it almost useless :sob: HP of turans in s2 is a joke too (I sacrifice alot for have some HP). Blunt strike was good too and I will be happy if I see its back.. Well Im just dreaming, and dream dont cost nothing.

=[ i miss it too..

haha i only got like 3.7k hp on my tempest, but i do a :sob: ton of dmg. there is not really a point in hp for me, cuz im a master kiter/sleeper haha. + you got a heal that is instant that heals me for like 2k. so as a tempest, you dont really die often...unless you get the dreaded lag!
