Glad to hear you're making progress again Kate.

I don't know about others, but Ahune is, in my opinion, a real ballbuster for an all-melee team. What I'd emphasize is weapons - if I remember correctly there is i219 weapons available for all in normal PoS and it'll make a massive difference.

Other than that, once you have them all in Conquest gear or better, you'll find they really start to shine.

PS: Edit, since you're in the area, Frick and Ick I found easiest when on a constant move. Don't stop to DPS (you're Rets don't need to anyway). Just run in a large circle for the whole fight from go to woah, making sure to run away from the poison cloud and pursuit phases (pursuit can be blocked with the carts lying around etc).
