Longtime poe1 fan. I enjoy poe 2, but I have to say I'm not a fan of the forced combo and forced dodge gameplay.

I've played to level 96 in hardcore poe2 so I didn't quit after 5 minutes.

What was fun about poe1 was, yes, you start weak and slow, but then you can get super ultra fast and strong by the end.

POE 2 balancing by contrast feels like the developers do not ever want you to feel fast and strong - skills nearly require combo setups, most bosses have undodgeable one shot slams that you HAVE to dodge, etc.

The #1 best feelign in poe2 was in 0.30 when I got my Rhoa and boom - no need to dodge roll anymore! I can just strafe! It felt great. Then it got nerfed (still it's ok, but not as good.)

I know this is Jonathan's vision of forcing combo moves and forcing dodge rolls but please consider to build on poe1's strengths of super-power scaling to chill play instead of forcing piano play.

Also please add swords.

Well i like it. Quite a bit.

And yet I'm not advocating they completely redesign poe1 around it just for my needs. So why does this need to be done for poe2?
