Mele looking at dd and dot

[uglyoldman]

I am currently debating adding either dd or dot damage to my build. This is something I want to do as I enjoy playing a caster but don't want to completely redo my build. I am not sure which way to go and would love some opinions.

I am also debating adding archer as well as it does not matter to me what I am attacking with that said. Do I go dd or dot what are the advantages / disadvantages to both?

dot is easier to do stat wise. but is slow and not much advantage if you stay melee
dd is harder because you need both int and cnc but is faster.
if you go archer then you could go double cast dd archer if you're rich or poison dots to supplement shaft

That is hugely useful thank you King.
