The character animations are (literally) killing me.

" *rolls eyes* It should be easily for you to reproduce. I'm not making any claim of anything happening out of the ordinary. There already are a lot of high level melee character builds showing they are effective. It would be easier for me to see the problem if I could ... SEE... it . "I would have listened...

Very strange you haven't noticed it.
Me and my two friends noticed it before we had played 40mins of PoE. :/ |

Well you do swing slower at lower levels. It's very possible that it's more difficult to get the timing down.

I was playing my wand damage character and when I made the switch from 1.1 aps wands to 1.5 aps wands and took some extra attack speed nodes, the change in *CONTROL* I had over my character was absolutely AMAZING. I coudln't believe how much more accuracy in terms of my timing I felt I had, and I was able to move around or mid-battle change tactics/position SO MUCH EASIER. I never realized just how bad slower weapons locked you into "dead time" until I switched to faster ones.
Needless to say, I am much happier with the 1.5 aps wands and they have completely improved the way in which I play my character. Same with movespeed, to a point. Going the whole game with -11% from chest&shield and no movespeed boots, and then switching to dual wield and 25% boots (+21% overall) just made my character feel ALIVE, and MORE RESPONSIVE to commands and even things like running up and opening chests and such. Very interesting. |

"Unless you're shift-attacking, melee range is extended against these moving enemies to roughly triple the regular value. You can still 'hit' them mechanically even if they've gotten several steps from your character and you blow visually didn't connect, explicitly to avoid this (note that if you don't stun them there won't be any visual indication of the hit, so you could easily think you missed if you're not actively watching the monster's life at that point). You have to have really slow attack speed, or really fast monsters, to consistently miss as a result of this, and it's intended that it cause you to mist in those situations.

Perhaps, but its quite strange to walk to where a missle attacker was and swing when they moved forward, so they are actually behind you when you are swinging forward. Most games allow your attack to track/synch with your target. In your game, you keep walking and swing on your targets last position. Say a ranger attacker is at the very edge of my screen and I right -click an assigned skill to hit them. My toon walks over to them but... they move. Instead of following them, my idiotic toon walks over to where they where and slashes at air, no matter where the enemy actuly is! So you say I hit them after all? So what? Most of the time I want to track them and follow them into a mob as melee to deal some damage, but what ends up happening is my toon goes to where the target was and gets pummeled by other enemies along the way. Fix this bug already!

If the target moves before you reach them, your character will follow them until you get them in your melee range, at which point you'll stop and execute the attack (which will be given the bonus range when check if the enemy is still close enough to hit).
The only way to avoid that is if you target a location near where the enemy is currently at rather than the enemy itself, by not actually having the enemy highlighted when you target. If you target an action specifically an enemy, it's not possible for the action to start until your character has moved into range to hit that enemy - where they are, not where they were. It might be possible that desync is causing you to look on your client like you're further away from the monsters than you really are, but I'm not sure.
