ok, so i now have both koss and melonni fully decked out with awesome equipment, included elite armor with full runes and insignias. they also both have pvxwiki builds (because i dont have the time or patience to find out what skills they use well or not). koss has the cleave build while melonni has the wounding strike build. so basically what i want to know is, when should i use one over the other? ive been using koss as my tank, and i decided to buff up melonni for doing the HM missions that require her. ive already seen that koss' build works well, haven't tested melonni's yet, but im assuming it will work well cause it received a "great" rating on pvxwiki. so when would you guys suggest using melonni over koss or vice versa?

None. Use 3 necroes, 3 elems or 3 paragons. Melee suck. Or use D/N order if you are melee/ranged.

Melee heroes suck due to the AI, but if I had to take one I would go with Melonni as a Wounding Strike Spiker.

And Dervs basically have insane damage. Warriors also do, but Dervs have a 3 second on demand recharging deep wound skill and have the ability to hit 3 enemies to cause strong splash damage.

And Derv heroes can use their bar alot better I've found. Mainly because it's energy based though.

thats good to know about the derv's ability compared to the warrior. ill have to test her out to see how much better she does than koss.

Well Wounding Strike is currently the most powerful Derv build, and can be used quite brainlessly, so it gets it's medal.

Although, tanking is still bad. However, holding aggro isn't.

I wouldn't call PSpirit and Shield of Abs. tanking.

Btw, really don't trust melee AI. It really sucks. AoE scatter makes them useless, they often attack wrong target, sometimes aggro monsters when not supposed to...

when you ask a question and someone tells you something that has nothing to do with the question, its not exactly the same as telling them that they werent very helpful.
