So sad. I thought laughing at melees would generate more outrage. I obviously forgot to consider the fact that most people who play melees are probably illiterate, and hence were incapable of reading my post.
Still, I will just have to work with the outrage I received.

Always figure casters were for our girlfriends to play. Well, and dorks who got picked on in school so they can live their little fantasies of 'if I were magical you'd respect me.'
The last part seems unlikely. Melee players were likely the scrawny kids or the fat kids in school. They lacked the physical ability to defend themselves, and are now living out their pathetic fantasies of being some bad ass who runs around and beats the shit out of people, much like they had the shit kicked out of them all those years ago (and probably still do from time to time.)
The part about your girlfriends is just funny. Only a melee player would consider his right palm to be his "girlfriend".

that is because your skill level is low. not the character.
Sure, sure. With the new update, melees will be able to waddle up to mob(s), have their taped down mouse button taking care of the attacks, while rolling their fingers over a few buttons to generate some extra damage. That is some killer skill you guys have got going there.
That will leave you one arm free so you can spend "special time" with your "girlfriends".
DDO players are just about the laziest group of people I have ever encountered in my life. As a group, they always take the easy way out, which makes it unsurprising that they like to play melee toons in this game.
We are well into the phase of the game where Turbine is just milking stupid people for all the money they can. It is good business to give the stupid people playing melee toons a huge boost in damage, while making it virtually impossible for them to die in quests.
"We iz uber! We have skills!" Ka-ching!
Stupid undeserving fuckwits are easily played.
Not to worry. If this release is not enough to make melee players feel uber, Turbine will not be deterred. The next phase will allow you to simply click on the mob. The game will run you up to him, handle the auto attack (because taping the mouse button down or finding the existing auto attack featue is hard -- for melee players), and perform the added damage attacks without the key presses.
BadAss Melee universal enhancement tree -- 995 Turbine Points. You will be really uberz then!
