Gorrogos, a STR-based stuff. Uses Volcanic Orbs as projectiles, unlike other staves. Don't get too excited, they have no explosion radius, rendering the staff nearly useless.

Equipped it then using some skill that AoE and multi hit to trigger its grants skill.
If % trigger that skill on attack highs, it still useful.

i fully understand the intent on adding a melee skill on storm.. yeah diversity.. but adding an out of place skill at the top of the tree is not the solution..

Thanks for formulating this, its about what I was trying to tell. Hybrids go against the normal TQ character building schemes and need a lot to compensate for that. For damage, rune weapon stacks an absurd intelligence on player while converting all physical damage to elemental and adding more flat elemental. If its defense, the problem is in the storm mastery tooltip. Its good for attack, bad for defense. It only has damage reduction in squall and some unreliable crowd control. If you want to help strom in melee with defense, it would again require stacking multiple layers of defense to get anywhere near actual melee masteries.

Can a single skill like lightning dash do all of that? Hardly, unless its some completely overpowered skill, which it isn't.

- Blade Barrier is like the fusion of Trap + Throwing Knives, so you have a skill that can scale by character but attack separately like a pet.

I'd argue its not for melee at all. Throwing weapons perhaps, though why wouldn't you use throwing knives on them too?

- Finese: this skill can buff OA for allies in range so it very good to buff OA for melee pets ( which can't be boost OA for them before) or co-op friend.

Flush out can also do that by debuffing mobs your pets attack.

- Just cast Blade Barrier and you can attack by yourselves, so you and BB attack together, it surely better than you just attack alone.
- More OA always good, especially when facing enemies that have high DA or dmg absorption, more critical hit, more good.

- Blade Barrier is like the fusion of Trap + Throwing Knives, so you have a skill that can scale by character but attack separately like a pet. Its attack delay the same like you using Ring of Flame skill, about 2 tick/s. It can be trigger some skill on items like TK. Using Blade Barrier with some items like Mjolnir throw hammer can be a very good CC skill ( and dealing more dmg) => its good at some point.
- Spear Dance: dmg of this skill its quite good at high lvl, it like Warwind of Hunting. I tested its dmg compare to normal hit, so don't talk i just "feeling".
- Finese: this skill can buff OA for allies in range so it very good to buff OA for melee pets ( which can't be boost OA for them before) or co-op friend.
- Poison Mayhem: its should be change to get all PGB attack the same target than like present( each PGB go ech place, only one go to the place that you want, sometime 2).

Any skill who can attack multiple enemies can be using to trigger any grant skill activated on attack, so its has their something good about them.
More skill, more builds. Its good, but need improve.

Lightning Dash don't have recharge time, so no cool down, and can cast continuity:

For anyone needed:

Turn on CC to see subtitles.

Actually, if your character have good defense, armor, or other defense( except DA), no need to get high DA to good survival.
And if the build have good defense skill, its less depend on good DA further more.

Last two days i'm working on the long delayed asymmetric skin pack. Almost all character skins, male and female, are now double sided. I'll post the pack here when it's ready.

Skin pack collection for TQ-AE?
Awesome!
