![]() I guess it helps to have a very reliable -5 DR debuff that ensures the chanter is hitting squishy stuff once the first invocation goes out. Yea, the barbarians are not built for all out damage, but they are built for speed and mass carnage. So, i've just gone with a generic attack speed dw build and the chanter is paired with a skaen priest and 2 disabling barbarians and it's pulling top dps. You can build a baby sneaking dual wielding anything in this game now, and while you might not be top top tier dps, you don't need to be. Melee ranger? Big chunk comes from auto attacking(yes there is the pet, but don't want the hassle of the pet, plus the chanter brings far far more utility and potential damage to the party than the ranger for a major net damage gain). The majority of damage from many classes is simply from auto attacking. I found this tanky variant to work better. He did good single target damage with the sword, that's true - but he also went down more often and got stunned, prone or paralyzed - then he and his sword and chants did nothing and that's a shame.

The good thing with this tank version is that you can dump DEX to three and it doesn't influence your DPS at all. Autoattacks can add some damage, that's true, but it just pales in comparison to his main chant - so why bother? ![]() That's no problem though because he just shrugs hits off. With his MIG and INT they will be devastating - but he will cast slowly. In 3.0 it may be that he sings so fast that he can also do more invocations. What's not to love? He's basically like a tanky Paladin with Sacred Immolation - but can have his dps chant way eralier, has slightly less defenses - but his chant does not expire. He fits your requirements: he's melee, he does tons of DPS and on top he seldomly goes down or catches an affliction because his defenses are very high. Our suggestion is just based on experience.
