I am concerned melee teams are a bit less effective now to box since auto attack swings are very dependent if you want high dps and using your combat abilities delays or interrupts them, not sure which. But apparently you can stack your gear to have a 600% chance to multi attack i.e. 6 swings per autoattack it's like Enhance Windfury on steriods in my opinion. This is less of an issue for Ranged as they do not have to rely on this and you just spam spells.
If melee is in fact superior though I would love to give it a shot as a Double or triple beastlord team sounds awesome with all the pets and stuff going on.
