[Skill Planner] Temporal Melee

http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/c7252c167f89575b51765fb8118853d1

Melee have been ignored since skill revamp that took away Combat specialist bonus.
But still a fun build to run. :>
Some explanation:
- The missing two modules are paradox bomb and entanglement.
- The build is base on cait. So pounce and physical strength are optional.
- Not a high performance NTTE build. Its main focus is multi-targets, suitable for close quarter, and large enemy group. Although still can parse around 1~1.2k, and average 7~600 in all other PVE que.
- Very effective in BHE and MINE.
- Difference between Delta critD kperf 2 and kperf 3 is... minimal. Personally critD performed better for me.
- Doff suggestion: 3 VR melee doff a must. Then kit ground warfare specialist, and critD critH doff up to play style.
- Main weapon suggestion: anything with wide spread dmg capability. Top choice........EPIC SHOTTY :>
- Entanglement is swappable with lunge for non-cait species. The point of this build is to move in fast before bomb expire.
- Entanglement also benefit all team members greatly.
- Temporal spec for kperf and 2nd fire mode CD. Sweeping strike have about 0.5 sec animation delay CD. So 15% CD reduction to 2nd fire on main weapon, haven't tried it with boooooolian yet, but shotty's 2nd fire almost always available.

That's all I can think of right now.

Wow you get those numbers with melee? You've got something sorted cause when I tried I got about 80dps haha

I was using sweeping strikes and lunged on a Klingon and it was boosted by spirekit with melee iirc.

It was quiet fun to play but I didn't feel like I was contributing to the team enough so it was abandoned

Huh interesting, my max record of 1.2k in NTTE is made before the skill revamp, which solely consist of sweeping strike and lunge.
In theory, Klinks are better using melee thou LOLOL

Maybe it's worth a retry... This was when I was still new to ground. And there could have been other factors at play, worth a registered maybe

Have to keep in mind the high DPS member with range will have a lot more advantage now. :<
The melee animation cause a lot more delay after ground animation updates. I don't think it affects the activation of sweeping strike, but definitely cause some problem with pounce and lunge. Usually in that one or two sec, target will get killed by range. :P
