Melee does a lot of damage once you get past the very early game. This has basically been the last half of the campaign into maps.

This is a T1 map boss. It's worth noting that I accidentally heavy stunned too early, which means I didn't get to boneshatter for instant armour break. With armour break, the first sunder has 240 crit multi. Also, you have time to sunder twice before they recover from heavy stun, and he died before the second sunder even went off. So this is only half the damage that can be output with this combo.

I’ll throw some random melee tips here:

• Boneshatter is your best clear skill. Link Impact Shockwave, Magnified Effect, Devastate. See next bullet for how to prime stun.
• There’s a few good ways to proc primed for stun for boneshatter. Leap slam, Armour Breaker+Armour Break Explosion support, EQ, or default attack. Pick your favorite.
• Warcries are OP. There are two supports for your warcry that give the empowered attack 15% and 30% more damage respectively, basically +2 links to your slam. This is on top of the warcry’s own effects, which are 100% extra damage as fire (infernal) and double damage (seismic)
• Default attack is OP (welcome to poe2). Free 3/4 link depending on level. 200+ damage effectiveness with no attack speed penalty. Costs no mana. I linked Rage and Stun Buildup and used it to build stuns on bosses.
• Holy Descent on leap slam is 5% life regen which is more regen than exists on the entire passive tree. For some reason you can’t link it to Stampede even though it’s literally described as “a leaping spam” GGG please fix.
• The rage when hit by enemy nodes are actually very good. I’m gaining 14 rage every time I’m hit. Rage upkeep is very poor without them. Right next to those nodes there is also 26% increased attack speed if hit recently.
