Kiting Kiting Kiting

So, i am extremely hyped about the game and have already bought a supporter pack, but there is one thing i am quite worried about.

No matter what gameplay video you watch, you only ever see the players kiting.

I am a player that prefers a 'head on' approach, and im no big fan of the 'careful' kiting gameplay (basically it just doesnt feel epic to have to run away from trashmobs.)

Is it just random that all the videos show players kiting? Or do we have to expect a gameplay like that everywhere?

I think a lot of the kiting was from ranged classes. The melee playstyle seems more in the thick of it. Once we get in there I'm sure we can figure out how we want to play though.

The start will be rough, sure (and that is what we have seen so far), but once you've invested into defenses things should get easier. It HAS TO... Think about it, what would be the point of defenses if you could never feel somewhat safe, at least against trash monsters?

Agreed. The longest range i've seen from a mob to a character is about arms-reach. No real person in this world would use a bow...

What i see from game play form difrent ppl mobs can hit big damage even trash and ppl will die and a loot even stupid zombie form beach will hit like end act 1 boss from path of exile and you need make shit ton rolls.

It's not poe1, Poe 2 is totally different game, think dark soul arpg, it's a much slower paced game, you will probably die 10+ times before act 3
