Boots - Make movement speed on boots implicit
yes, most boots/builds require MS to feel better.
but that logic also applies to damagemods on weapons, +skills on staffs/wands/amulets and so on. removing MS from boots makes the game simpler, one less stat to get, one more prefix open for life/mana/def. don't forget the boss is designed for 0 MS while making dogging easier with more MS, so if the game gives you +30% MS base and bosses get designed for that speed you all would cry for the stat back on top of the 30%. at the moment MS is a value increasing defensive and QOL mod, if you want to save a little you dont go for boots with 35% but 20-25% and save quite a few divines. The issue in PoE2 is that without the movement skills the MS on the boots (ignoring temporalis/QutF) is the only real way to increase mapclear, so a lack of MS feels even worse than in PoE1 |

If it aint got move speed it is vendor trash nuff said really.
All the anti implicit prob make a killin on crafting 35% speed boots. Heck that is my mainstay... That said I still prefer boots to always have a speed value. Then all boots can be viable. I guess the same debate could exist for every other piece of gear however not to the degree of boots being worthless without a speed mod. Last edited by rhalbhub#0570 on Mar 26, 2025, 2:37:10 PM

+2
If they still have monsters that are speedy, despite them saying "we want to slow the gameplay down", WE should be speedy too, to counteract! |

If the movement in this game feels so slow, that everyone wants all boots to have movement speed.
Why not just give a quest that gives players.. more movement speed? Sometime after act 1. And then maybe again at the end of act 3. +10% and +10%? Boots can still have the movement speed. But then it's a choice. You could build around it. It's optional. Not a necessity on items. |
