After losing a HNTR melee build to my recklessness, I decided to to simply move back to ITYTD to see how things went. It went well. I didn't even start with the melee stuff until I got my chainsaw, and then I got Juggler and was able to freely kill stuff left and right. I had enough goodies to back me up from a range, but I always enjoyed running into combat against mancubi and archviles (the only revenant I saw was one that spawned with an archvile and two mancubi when I pulled a lever; I don't think any of them even got to act). Since I had good ranged weapons for backup, I was able to maintain 100% kills (not much to brag about on ITYTD, but I think it's cool). I found some invulnerability on level 24, so I took it, used a homing phase device, descended, activated my nuke, ran to the stairs, ran straight towards JC and commenced with slaughtering him. I don't know if it's a ITYTD thing or just the speed at which I killed him, but he didn't summon anything, not that it would have helped him against my immortal berserk rage. I like how the entire final level text fits in the mortem :)
Since I wasn't going for pure melee, Badass and Finesse were the logical early traits; I decided on Badass first because double health is great. Juggler wasn't too much of a detour from Vampyre, but I wasn't sure about the two trait side trip to get Whizkid. I had a good amount of mods sitting in my inventory though, so I went for it. Now I've experienced the power of melee builds, and I'm very pleased. The only tricky part is getting into melee range.
