Less punishment for melee class

Hi guys, I would like to know what you think about less punishment for melee class like mini stun/element effect on them. While they have to get close to the monster to deal damage, their defenses kind of suck now, and if you hit with chill ground/temporal chain debuff, monster basically perma mini stun you til death.

You have super good defenses for melee. Fortify, Max Res, Block, many life nodes, jewel slots for more max res, spell suppression is an option, spell block. I don't know why they should buff melee more

I’d call them “close-range” skills instead of melee, because melee also includes slam skills like Sunder, which are basically “ranged melee”. Same with Lightning Strike, it can play like a ranged skill while still being tag as melee.

There is a reason those "melee-range" skills have been meta for so long, cause they are easier to play.

Playing true close-range skills is pretty much playing PoE on hard mode, you need to know the game a lot more and react faster.
