PoE 2.0 or 1.5?

I feel like you should probably try playing monk. It feels nothing like PoE to me and I'm having a blast for the most part while actually playing, it's things like the complete lack of a real crafting system or not being able to re-rune my sockets that annoys me mostly. It also isn't Path of Highly Regarded and Welcomed .. its still Path of Exile II, it's not supposed to be a completely different game. It so far has satisfied the differences probably more than I would like.. I do like the slow combat at first but never having movement skills when the end game boss requires movement skills to beat is kinda an interesting decision.

Think back on Mega Man 1, Mega Man 2 Contra 1-3.. did any of those games really break the mold like Super Mario Bro's II did? No not really and Mario Bro's mostly went back to the original feel in III even though I honestly loved II. It's very rare for a sequel to redefine the game and keeping it isometric there's only so much they can do. This is why a lot of people didn't like Diablo III like oh its gotta be so revolutionary (I mean with the time they took you might've expected more) but I loved D3.. now Diablo IV was what you're describing fun for two weeks then boring plastic, an afterthought to a previous game that plays worse than its predecessor.
