New patch coming up, really disappointed they're nerfing curse effects on major bosses. Enfeeble and other curses will be 50% less effective against Piety, Vaal (urgh), Merveil, and Brutus. Other map bosses will have a 40% effectiveness.
This is the opposite of what melee needs. The problem is melee has to get in close range to do damage, but they don't necessarily do more damage, and they don't even have more defenses. I respecced my lvl 82 to a bow build and I'm clearing maps three times as fast. That's with a pretty bad bow, compared to my 2H maul which is one of the higest DPS mauls in Hardcore league.
