Endgame is zoomzoom on purpose?

"The developers did say in many posts that in fact the late game being this zoomy, being this AoEing, they did say in fact that this was 100% intended. That this was the way to play the game... they want you to 'feel like a god' and run around and AoE everyone down."

If this is true then I have zero interest in PoE 2 unless they change course..

I have really no idea what you expect, the example-video isn't even zoom zoom, just high damage against normal monsters.
Killing everything in 1 hit is pretty normal for arpg endgame, no matter what game you look - D2/3/4, LE, poe1&2

If you think anything in those clips is zoomy then you never reached endgame in poe1.

So you're just conceding that "slower and more methodical" was a lie?

Feel free to check my profile bud. 13 characters level 65+.

Here's the build he was commenting on: https://youtu.be/O0I4ximDsb8?t=2422. Go ahead and explain how it's not zoomy.

I think mobs need more hp and less damage and slightly less density at lower tiers.

Theres clearly more builds and unintended crap comming out that hopefully the devs will address once the new year arrivces.

Its a little sad watching some spell caster just walking and filling the entire screen, including behind them and around corners with lightning and thats it.

Its like an omni direction Tornado shot and its silly.

Just gotta wait is all.

Another AOE screen clearing fest? shame. =/

not sure if serious or trolling. 65 is unironically early-mid game play. The clip of this build is not zoom, its just aoe against normal mobs.

You're just confirming what I've said, T1 maps are literally level 68. Anything below 90 means you didn't even hit proper endgame and were probably just twiddling your thumbs on white-yellow maps at best. This is what we're referring to as zoomy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_F8wf1QKUE because you literally warp through the map. Thinking that just running at normal pace and not stopping for every white pack is "zooming" is honestly pretty funny.
