Charm slots and move speed

I think for poe 2 you should remove move speed as an affix and introduce 2 new currencies. Soles and pouches. Give them the same drop rates as a glass bauble and let those be the way we add move speed and charm slots respectively. This would give boots more freedom to be whatever they want to be without players auto discarding them for not having a move speed roll on them. This would also let players take unique boots and belts further into the game without worrying about how they may have to replace them soon.

I do agree that having a specific "mandatory mod" for all classes on any specific piece of gear is bad in general.

Specifically for boots there should be a natural progression ... basically the higher the level of the boots and the higher the "tier" (normal, advanced, expert) of the base the more inherent move speed those items should give.

As for charms I don't like the "design decision" that went into that. Just because some players were not using PoE1 flasks properly doesn't mean that we necessarily need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

To be honest when I play this type of game I like to have problems and then be given the tools to SOLVE those issues or at least heavily mitigate the problems.

I feel that charms as is do almost nothing given the short duration and large number of charges required to recharge the charm after a use. Combine this with less mitigation from the tree & ascensions and it compounds problems even more.
