While I find your post funny, it is completely irrelevant to the subject.

Path of exile is an aRPG game, where you put strategy into building your character, balancing survivability and offense.

Skill factor is based on how you build your character and how well you trade gear, now how fast and accurate you click. If I wanted a game that measures that, I would have played Counter Strike.


So again, why do I have to click in order to kill monsters?

When I play my pulser, I simply hold down the attack button, and when I want to attack I hold down shift and relatively direct my mouse towards the target. Everything dies.

With my melee though, I not only high to click exactly on the small target boxes of the fast moving monsters, but I also have to be in melee range.

Then I wonder why do I even bother with melee...

Pointless? I'm genuinely offended. I thought it was rather concise.

I thought it was both funny and appropriate Scrotie.

I am well aware of the meme, hence why I said memes in my first statement, and yes pointless is also the proper word. What you posted was of no credence to the thread and did nothing but sidetrack the topic at hand.

If you have something worthwhile to post, go for it, but if you have nothing to contribute then please go bother other threads.

Back to the topic at hand, I feel there needs to be a decent middle ground for any of the skills to function so that the game does not end up boiling down to holding left click and running across maps.

While single target has a flaw to it in that you can not sweep your mouse from target to target, thus making it vastly slower than ranged; ranged in turn has an advantage that reduces the game at higher levels to hold left click, press shift when you want to explode things.

My, you're being obtuse.

How about this: The mouse skill level of the game is already so drastically low that the idea of someone actually complaining about how it's too hard to click on things strikes me as so amazingly shallow and trivial that I find the entire concept deserving of nothing but humorous contempt.

Which, by the way, is exactly what my image said.

Are we clear now?

That's the whole point.

Playing a melee requires much more mouse control compared to playing a ranged character.

This is a coded hindrance that ruins melees. It turns an RPG game into a shooter, where your reflexes, accuracy and speed determine your clearing speed.


Why do you feel it's fair for ranged characters to be able to hold left click and whenever they want to make things go boom, just hold shif, but it's not fair for melees to want the same?

If you want to be that lazy and kill without clicking, just drop some goddamn totems.

I think D2s method of right click hold caused you to attack the next enemy you brushed by was ok.

At first I thought the same thing as OP, but atm im playing a facebreaker build and I love the mechanic they have at the moment. I think it's extremely efficient at both letting me target the type of mob or the certain mob I want.
