Implicit Movement Skills on Boots

Okay so picture this, GGG wants item drops to have meaning. You're playing a game that had little to no movement skills and we all just want to zoom. You pick up your first pair of Pryomantic Wingtips and now, you can utilize the new skill Flame Dash. Or Phantom Fleets which allow Dash. Now you can reduce that 40 hour time to maybe 30 even! Best item drop during the campaign, for sure.

Long ago, Chris Wilson said during a post interview with Ziggy D, that he was saddened by the fact that item drops (gear) mean next to nothing in POE 1. Most of the good items in the game are crafted via harvest, beast, essence, etc. One of the core features of POE 2 is that items HAVE a meaning when they drop and bases do have potential value. With that being said, the introduction of skill gems, implicitly on items has entered the game. There already are a pair of boots of this likeness, why not give the people something they are starved for.

Many creators have brought up the issue of no implicits on boots, some say it should be for movement speed. Some say it should be ailment immunity or thresholds. Why not, introduce the movement skills as solely implicit modifiers on boots which AGAIN reinforces the ideology that base items in POE 2 matter? I know, I know... This has to come with a downside. So what if, our downside is a second implicit modifier which states, Item maximum modifiers: 4. 2 Prefix, 2 suffix. This would be a sufficient trade of to assume the gem slot. Additionally, the added gem slot would take away from maximum power potential and potentially force people to utilize the unset rings, which currently don't really do much. Let me know if you have any questions about this potential change or comments, I don't write often so just trying it out. Thanks for your time.

+1 for speed implicit on boots.

what is real bullshit, is that ARMOR AND SHIELDS have **HIDDEN** implicit movespeed PENALTIES still

this makes getting + movespeed on boots even more important

-1

Dont need to handout mods craft or find them

Poe2WarriorMan-6401, you obviously didn't read the post. Not once did i ask for a hand out, in fact, I explicitly stated that they should be from drops, i.e. finding them.

Ah I saw the first response +1ing you for speed implicit on boots.

Correct them too please thank you!


And also -1 we dont need movement skills we have dodge roll.

Assuming you are talking about frostblink/flame dash and the like. Which is a big no


Also:
Work on your feedback/suggestions for the devs if they decide to read something, having some naration or story and not getting to the point can throw off anyone as well.

You dont even get to your suggestion until the third paragraph. Bunch of useless stuff in here.
