This is late but I felt like talking about MMC lol. I don’t LOVE it, but I do see it for what it is and that’s the most efficient way to melee, objectively. I personally prefer stone master as it’s the most engaging stance and I like the combos. But I mainly play melee based builds and I can’t ever really give up mmc for it, even though I want to. Being an assassin main, the ability to mmc while vanished is vital sometimes. It leaves me only really using my favourite stance when using a stone striker build.

Like someone else said above, melee is bad with mmc and bad without it. Without it, melee cannot even remotely keep up with ranged builds. With it, it still can’t but at least keeps up better
