A specific gripe i have with the melee combat.
So, for my starter, i picked the bow. Despite me being more excited to try out melee. Ive had a lot of fun using the ranged abilities so far. But with the whole throw and recall thing, i was super hype about getting my first melee. That hype died immediately once i had to do the bounty where you gotta fight nimrod and "intercept the boxes" that are floating. Some of the boxes are impossible to reach with the melee throw. And the nimrod fight is annoying and tedious. There is no break between waves of ads. As soon as you kill a group of 3 another group spawns almost right away. Giving you very little time to focus nimrod. The damage you do is healed up by the time youre done dealing with the ads. The best way is to kill 2 of the ads and leave the last one alone so you only gotta worry about dodging nimrod and one other guy instead of having a horde on top of you. This is never a problem if youre using the bow. Because arrow rain go brrrr. I hate how for this one thing in the game, this one bounty finale, melee is a huge hindrance. At least thats how it feels to me after going from bow to melee. Maybe i gotta get a new pact? Idk if thatd help much. Ive been trying to go blind on this game and not look up any help but this is pushing my limits lol. I want to love melee but now every time i get the nimrod bounty i feel forced to switch back to the bow and thats just really annoying to me. Does anyone else here feel the same at all or am i just missing something? I wouldnt even be complaining about this though if i could just pick 2 weapons to toggle between. Which i thought was gonna be a thing. Either weapon swap isnt in the game yet, or i just havent unlocked it yet? Idk any feedback would be appreciated. Sorry for the barely coherent rant lol.
