Endgame is zoomzoom on purpose?

Posts like this makes me wonder how many unexperienced players giving opinions we have in PoE2 EA.

"everyone plays the builds that delete the entire screen in one button"
"yes, of course because those builds are very powerful".

Yes.....do you know what they also are? Very fun!
Guess what, investing a couple of hundred hours into a game and NOT feel powerful in the endgame?
NOT FUN!

Also, this was not POE1 Zoomzoom. At all.
This reminds me more of good D2 builds that delete normal mobs.

Guys how do we tell him about Deadeye LA with Headhunter?

What do you want? Taking 30 minutes per map when we need to do hundreds just to randomly find some citadels?

If what you see in the video you linked as "zoomzoom", then you haven't really play PoE 1. You don't how it feels to use Deadeye Bow build with Headhunter and playing Legion in PoE 1.

You're being too harsh on the OP I feel, because of the "lvl65" remark, but check his profile, he has a few past 90. No need to be such elitists, there is room in poe 1 for more casual players like us.

Regarding the zoom-zooming, never was my goal really, but where I disagree with the OP is that I don't feel aggravated by players who have put much more time and are more "skilled/committed/chose your own term" play differently, and are more efficient than me. As long as I can have my own fun, set goals for myself and try to reach them, it's fine by me.

It's really not a race, unless you decide to treat as one...

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

That's not zoomy at all though compared to PoE1. This is PoE1 zoomy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTMPiD-N_MI

That video isn't "zooming". Its an endgame mage doing AoE magic attacks which they should be able to do no? I don't know, I wouldn't really have a good time if after hours of playtime and gearing the "endgame" played exactly like act 1. Spamming a singular tiny fire projectile or slowly walking then hitting an enemy with a normal melee attack. That doesn't seem like a fun progression to me. What should mapping look like that isn't 'zoom zoom'?

Not holding down 1 button and murdering every mob before it has a chance to attack.

Yhea, the game is more fun at the start where your action have a effect. And you make decisions on a second to second basis. If this is what they intend to have as end game. It's just a Benchmark test game. And they should have just made a graphics update for PoE1 and a new league.

Everything is the same as PoE1, the things are just named differently. The game is still a cluster f of effects on screen.

All they added was dodge roll, awsd movement. And a new way to use skill gems. If we take away the new skill gem system; Slap on the PoE1 graphics/story and naming. You could say this is a new PoE1 league. And everyone would believe you.
