A melee attack for the most part is an attack which if you click on a char from a distance requires you to move closer by ie: running or walking. If it can be casted from far away then it is considered ranged. Hence WW is ranged and Zerk is melee. I dont know if that makes sense. But that's my understanding of it.

Well. .you don't use it from afar, and it does physical damage, but ya stupid people in public duels complain about it, not my fault they can't win.

i would say rabies is melee although its elemental damage
berserk is pure magical damage but no one complains that its not melee
against people who complain against u, either ignore them or fury/fireclaw/tank them after u infect them till they die to shut them up

if you wanna be technical, melee is any non-ranged attack that invovles phys. dmg. therefore, count out any ele/magic skills such as rabies/berserk.

also, imo, melee should require AR, so that throws out smite. melee should have a %chance to hit thats less than 100% (like smite)

for some odd reason, i dont really see why ww isnt considered melee. yes you can start it from a range, but u need to be CLOSE to hit it, so why isnt it considered melee.

imo, anything not ranged/not smite/not a casted spell is melee. but thats my view.
