melee fighters

[Javo]

ive been reading around and most ppl say melee fighters suck... but i read all u ppl whining how uve had some tough times with most of the daevas and lots of bosses... i killed all of the daevas (upto now) without potions.. 3 or 4 strikes from my 2 handed hammer or 2 handed axe and they die... and 1 or 2 blows for minions.. i dont see wuts the "tough" thing about melee fighters because upto now the game is pretty easy...

Str 10
End 10
Int 10
Agi 10
Luck 5
Perc 6
Chr 2

how did i get these stats? well pretty easy i chose Gifted and skilled as traits, and trough out the game u get to raise ur luck by 2 points, ur endurance, inteligence, and percepcion by 1, and the genie lets u raise another one. oh and i think another peception point somewhere...

170 in 2 handed
100 in divine favor
100 in speech
100 in evasion
50 in lockpicks

mostly i use either the goblin kick ass hammer, or the animal killer axe. (until i get better 2 handed weapons. the goblin hammer does + 25 extra dmg against goblins, it was pretty usefull against khan and the goblins, and the animal bla bla axe does + 60 extra dmg against animals, pretty useless and does lesss dmg than the hammer but most creeps are less resistant to slashing dmg than to crushing so i usually tend to switch to the axe pretty often. my equipment is pretty basic and i still find the game easy..
helmet of the falcon, amulet + 10% crushing, ring + 2 divine, ring + 10% crushing, plate armor AC + 13, gauntlets of la mancha, boots of marco polo, normal belt, and even without good items as those named everywhere game is still too easay...

perks are: divine something (raises divine favor branch)
master of arms
2 handed weapon specialisation
2 handed weapon mastery
2 handed weapon handling
retribution
mmm and i dont remember the other ones

i am now lvl 25 and i went through most stages of the game on early lvls and had no trouble at all.. (like going through the pyroness mountains when i was lvl 15 or less. i just dont see the moment where melee fighters are gonna suck cause i can handle from single bosses to large armies.

Though already finished the game with a melee character, gotta say there were many tough times and fights.. especially toward the end after the war had started.
And in the dark temple(fortress of alamut), found it extremely tough to fight the assasins all at once; instead had to flee for my life while killing one at a time.

Haha the ending part was like totally one-sided, entirely advantageous to a ranged fighter.. so i'll try that next time i play.

*Just a query, when you guys use magic fighters, do u attack only with spells, or together with .. erm other stuff like unarmed or weapons i dunno man what do you guys use on the offense?
