Where are the movement skills?
The slow speed of dodge-rolling and getting stuck on the environment and/or mobs is probably the most frustrating part of the game right now. Maybe these just haven't been added yet, but currently the lack of movement skills is a huge regression in quality of life.

No movement skills. Dodge roll is the movement/dodge/mobility tool the game is balanced around.
You do get i frames but its only at the beginning of the dodge meaning you can and will take damage mid/end roll. So you must dodge at almost the absolute last second to avoid enemy tracking or damage. |

There's...
Leap Slam Blink Only 2 I can remember right now, but they kinda work differently than they did in POE1 but still provide some movement. Flame Dash spoiled us. Last edited by Biovital#3172 on Dec 16, 2024, 2:00:24 PM

" This is super disappointing. Is there any way to speed up the dodge-roll or extend its range? What about skills that phase, e.g. phase run? Last edited by gzvirax#1272 on Dec 16, 2024, 2:13:25 PM

Lightning Warp too, unsure how well these movement skills work compared to dodge roll but I'm already sick of rolling around bosses.

Some classes still have some issues for getting boxed in but there are a lot of options. Leap slam, stampede with knockback, vaulting impact, whirling assault with knockback, blink, aoe freezes, temporal chains, chronomancers temporal rift, escape shot etc.

shield charge has been useful for me, even on non-shield builds since you can hold one in your secondary weapon slot, add the charge to your hotkeys, and the character will automatically switch to shield to do the charge when you hit the button.
no idea if hot swapping like that is viable at higher levels tho, i'm only wrapping up act 2 with my highest level character and he uses a shield anyway. |

" NGL I can live w/out flame dash. " This is a huge relief, esp. whirling blades and leap slam. Seems I didn't look through the available skills very well D: Last edited by gzvirax#1272 on Dec 16, 2024, 2:54:40 PM

Just discovered Whirling Assault is nothing like Whirling Blades and I am sad.
