That body is not bad... Most beginner whm melee usually have that body. If you want to play whm melee bad enough then you would need more specialized gears (e.g. add-on gear with whm melee augments). If you really want to have DD like damage capability then it would cost you a little bit more. If you really want to be the best whm DD then be prepare to sacrifice a lot of time, effort and gils.

But if you just want to try it then you can practice first with AH gears.

>> Any two decent mauls

>> hands: Blessed Mitts

>> back: Potentia Cape
>> waist: Headlong Belt
>> legs: Blessed Trousers
>> feet: Blessed Pumps

BTW, Its really hard to be in a so called "right situation" for you to melee as whm. But there is no denying the fact that whm can melee and can do uber damage that is comparable to most of all DD's but the difference between having a melee whm set and having the best melee whm set is like hell and heaven.

The above set should give you a feel on how to play whm melee (note how all the gears can be bought on AH ^^). This setup is really cheap to obtain. If you really start liking it then you can go start getting the RARE/EX gears... Then if you really really like it, then you can spend some gils buying the +1 blessed gears. Now if you get hooked being whm dd (I dont blame you if you do), you can start dreaming of getting one of the more hard to get weapons (Kclub, Empyrian, Mjollnir). The key is to have fun doing it... otherwise getting the gears to have melee whm would make it no fun for you because of how most people frown on seeing a whm melee.
