Is the Martial Artist supposed to be a caster or melee?
|
Just watched the latest trailer previewing the class.
The concept literally suggests a melee class fighting with their fists, yet the gameplay shown was anything but melee. Massive screen clear with projectiles all over the screen and the “martial artist” sitting in the middle doing nothing. Is this a late April fools joke? Last bumped on May 23, 2026, 3:17:59 PM

" You didn't like all the cool animations they added for exotic martial arts moves, roundhouses, flying kicks, punch combos using different stances and grips, and....oh wait. Well, flashy yellow circles swirling around the guy exploding everything on screen while he walks around deliberately will have to do. |

We only have casters so far.

Who's gunna tell them?
Fine, I will. So.. Melee in PoE is just casting with your weapons. There are/were actual melee stills in PoE1 like Double Strike and last I checked they still hold up but they're generally outlier options. PoE2 was pitched as more interactive OG PoE1. Instead we're getting a confused mess of the worst in both games. "Never trust floating women." -Officer Kirac

" Hate to say it but not this slop. I’m genuinely surprised this is not being criticized more. |
|
" The gameplay looks identical to PoE1 in this trailer. Janky animations, spam, and visual vomit. If that’s the game moving forward, I’m out. |
