Boring lead boot walking simulator , plus dodge roll 500 times for a boss and you call it an ARPG , where is the action ? there is no action except from white mobs coming for you , you have to kite them thats not action thats passive play.

you don't _have_ to run away from the white mobs. you're allowed to kill them.

You HAVE to kite them you dont know what kite means do you it means back up while you kill them , if you dont know basic terminology for games maybe take some time to learn before trying to engage in a discussion about mechanics.

poe2 is not difficult, poe1 is more difficult by comparison

its much more boring though, if difficulty is about not falling asleep, then yeah its very difficult to move very slowly in huge zones with no mobs

You don't _have_ to kite them. That simply isn't true. You having low DPS is not an indication that everybody has low DPS.

Kiting is a tactic anyway. It's not a passive play style. Like if you've ever played a video game before you know that sometimes you have to do actions other than press the attack button in order to win. Doing those actions is not passive and I can't possibly see how anybody would consider it passive play.

I think some of the posters in this forum think the "action" in "action rpg" refers to the attack action and nothing else.

Why would anyone subject themselves to Diablo 4?

POE1 exists!

Hell, Last Epoch? Grim Dawn? All better options.

poe 2 is not hard, its cheap and unbalanced crap

if you like to fight bosses over 20 min with non meta build go ahed

this is all ARPGs though... all of them have a bunch of skills no one plays. If your build sucks you're gonna struggle

+1

If you're a super casual arpg gamer, diablo 4 is probably a better choice

The fact that you have to kite white mobs which drop nothing is crazy. Any other arpg they are trash filler mobs that you tear thru to get to the magics and rares.

Only in poe 2 have i seen them make white mobs like this and people defend the BS. Why make trash that drops literally nothing tanky? Doesn't make sense

You do have to kite them, because ggg decided that anything thats not explosive shot, deadeye bows, or EDC has No damage.

Literally worse build balance than D4. All these skill gems in the game and only a few skills viable. Poe ninja exposes this and speaks for itself. Half of the poe2 population is deady, with the rest of the class diversity being the other meta skills.

Chonk needs redesign completely, whole ascendancy is just garbanzo.
