I suspect why so many people complain about poe2

the problem is the character has a POE2 design, slow supposed to use combos etc

the mobs are on a POE1 design, super fast swarmy.

saying tiptoe forward is ludicrous the mobs rush you as soon as theres aggro.

If a player is constantly backpeddling and dodge rolling to survive packs of white mobs then there is a design problem

The pacing is way off. the combo based combat and balance will never work while the basic concepts are in conflict with each other.

see it as an equation, you cant reduce the player speed, power and keep the mobs the same as POE1 and expect there to be the slow combo satisfying combat they aim for

all endgame will ever be is one button clear screen meta builds. The reason is you have to kill the mobs before you are swarmed to death, and the on death effects just make the problem of being surrounded even worse

balance and feel will always be a nightmare and i feel unachievable unless they address the mobs speed and bring it inline with the players
