Path of Exile's latest expansion, Synthesis, reworks spellcasting—and melee combat will be given similar attention in the next expansion to fix its "clunky" feel, Grinding Gear Games has said.

The 3.7.0 expansion, due in June, will focus on improving animations and adjusting the numbers behind certain melee skills, but the dev team are also currently "experimenting" with changes to accuracy, feedback for hitting and missing in melee, melee splash damage, leech, fortify, melee base types, movement skills and the melee damage tied to certain items.
