Melee is the suck in arena unfortunately. There are so many gimmicks that sound awesome... just like instant lava burst sounds awesome and flawless... but it still requires surgical precision and a lil luck to use.

A PS, shield wall, or plate wearer in general would easily survive it, and then you're left with no MS, and no more tricks up your sleeve.

I admit tho, it would be hilarious when it DOES work.
