Summary and additional information
-----------------------------------
This is a video showing the true power of melee versus current(3.9) end game on its hardest(AL8) difficulty.There are lots of viable melee skills that most people don't even know that they exist.I tried to demonstrate almost all skills that can be used with swords.The gear is of course expensive because this is an end game, high budget character.But it's getting easier to farm currency every league, and leagues last 3 months, so it is possible for every kind of player to achieve this kind of gear in given time.I'm posting detailed gear breakdown to the bottom so check that out if you are interested.
