Your thoughts on the game speed meta?

Clear speed is at an all time high. Everything explodes almost instantly and reflect is pretty much gone, run and gun is the metagame now. What's your thoughts?

No.

No.

Excellent contribution!

Which is why i love having high movement speed.
90 MS with grace + QoTF, was at 100 but i had to shift some points around cause i am poor.

I think we should go back to 10 minute map clears where you have to cast spell totem skeletons in a room and pre casting enduring cry before you could engage.

We should also make reflect scary again so only skilled and powerful players with acuity can progress past level 80.

Part 2 of your post makes me think you are being sarcastic but I actually really enjoyed the days of part 1. Skele totem was so good.

I think I would enjoy a slower-paced, more tactical pace if you could somehow earn the same amount of loot in the same amount of time. That's exactly how I play Diablo 2 sometimes. Make a bunch of small charms with tons of MF and then play slowly while finding a lot of Legendaries and Set Items. It works for me.

I definitely do not want to go back to the slow meta days. I think it's more tactical and perhaps even more skillful but it's not more enjoyable. To be fair, the time it takes to get from 90-100 is not that much faster factoring in what an utter ripfest this game has become. Mobs do so much more damage and player defenses have been nerfed across the board.

While relative exp/per minute is higher now, deaths/hours is also far higher so the net progress is not that far off but players get to feel powerful.

The game has already far passed the threshold of return. GGG should encourage and reward players to clear maps fast instead of obsess about how high they can get their tooltip dps but also similarly reward players who want to play cautiously and more slowly. With that said, poe is simply an optimization equation where you try to get the most exp and loot per min for a unit of time and purposely going against that will obviously yield lower output unless GGG releases a special slow meta map set where mobs do vastly more damage but award vastly more exp per mob so you can do your skeleton totem thing.

So the answer your question, No.

I wouldn't mind you know being the ''elite'' players to have an acuity ^_^ so we an counter reflect right?

RIGHT?

That was fucking stupid even I hated that.
