Thanks for the swift reply, tpapp. Can't wait to play with it...
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.
I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.

Nice video, but I agree with him that many of the skills/spells should be castable without the need to stop moving and some like leap slam should be made faster and more fluent.
That is not possible due to the limitations of the game engine. Not a problem for me, but then again I am accustomed to it from playing D2 for the past 10-12 years.
And how do you know that it is a limitation of the engine? Got any developer quotes to back this up?
Even if that is true for many skills that are connected with movement they should just make the casting animations as near instant as possible to reduce this negative effect.

I'm going to need citation on that one. I feel the current cast times play an important role in balancing things, if not in PvE then in PvP (without the pause on Phase Run it would be a lot more painful to go up against IMO), but there should be some skills that can be activated on the move, maybe even support gems that allow it with appropriate drawbacks.

Check out D3 arena PvP videos. Those show us that being able to cast skills during a move means nothing in balancing PvP. You can always balance PvP.
If reducing Phase Run bonus damage (and of course other skills that would be made better) is what is needed to give us better animations and more fluent combat then they need to go for it

The character can only be actively performing one action at a time. That's really fundamental to how the game engine is designed, and I don't think it would be possible to change it at this point. I am certain it would be far, far more work than any benefit we would get from it.
Closed Beta/Alpha Tester back after a 10-year hiatus.
First in the credits!

One skill at a time, yes... how about casting skills while moving? ;)
