I don't know how much poe 2 I'll play from here on out. I keep hopping back to mess around and just hate the movement. I'm been playing the crap out of a fun build on Phrecia league and the mobility skill frost blink of wintry blast is cast speed based with no cool down. There's just zero way to replicate that amount of mobility in poe 2.

Not the first time I've gotten a message like this, but this particular one cuts deep for me. I really enjoy playing with this person.

Given the mess this season was in poe2, we both played POE1 this season. I wanted that maven skin baaad! Id never played it before and he hadn't played it in over a decade. We both immediately enjoyed poe1 with few exceptions. By far, and I mean farrrrrrrr the first thing we both found ourselves enjoying was the "movement speed abilities". Hes using blink, I was using shield charge. They're both very very fun. Poe2 has a lot of potential of being an even more amazing game. I'm interested and invested and plan to continue playing it but damn guys. I know you think you fixed the game with Sprint but it's just so not even comparable. Please give us poe1 like movement speed abilities. Please.

And then I am here and hope they will make it even slower and nerf rangers/Pathfinder. I would even like to see not having evasion or Es anymore and giving the whole tree the feeling of a warrior with the possibility to get some ES or some evasion via mods the same way they scale deflection now.

I am not satisfied with the way GGG cripples melee users and all the slam stuff, but the ranger and caster stuff is far to overtuned in the endgame. Which also made even more clear with the current temple and this mess of a pinata struggle.
