First is here special for Led and JooJoo (The two I know who use Melee weapons) 
quote:
Melee Out of Range issue:This is caused by the object on your client being drawn in a different location that it exists on the server.
The proposal to fix this is to increase the melee range of all weapons to a value that is closer to the margin of error between the client/server. This will make combat look a little funny as youll be able to hit a target further away, but I think this is an appropriate tradeoff.
Melee Damage Output:
I believe that melee damage is too low across the board. I will be investigating move abilities and look into bringing all melee class damage up to a more appropriate level.
Other slated changes :
Fun stuff here. I personally can't wait for the combo system - with my creature +to hit bonuses for being a scout/ranger, this means added accuracy, which means higher combos vs creatures 
Hey, wait. How did you remember me?

Palador ChibiDragon had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
Massive rebalances and tweeks for the combat system? Gee, if I didn't know better, I would think this was a beta...
That's getting old.

This struck me as funny -

Yeah, it's not like we didn't hear that about UO, EverQuest, Asheron's Call, Anarchy Online, DAoC, Asheron's Call 2, and Shadowbane, all of which were released 100% perfectly balanced.
It's not like EverQuest has been out for more than three years and is making gameplay balance changes even today.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw the notes.
Tal : Biggest reason I never held any sympathy for riflemen is 'cuz mind shots have NEVER been able to be healed. If I spam 600pt health shots on someone, and there's a doctor next to 'em, they're in fine shape. If I spam 1000+ pt mind shots on someone... they're toasted fast

I do have a blaster char, but he's only in use while I wait for Fencers to not suck.
