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?
we already know what the Monk skills are, what were you expecting?
Hate to say it but not this slop.
I’m genuinely surprised this is not being criticized more.
I guess if you want bare bones melee attacks with no special effects you might have to wait for the new melee classes. Even then I don't think you'll get that in the POE universe but who knows

I propose renaming the ascendency as the Astral Blaster, since no martial arts or melee were involved in the making of this build.

Instead we're getting a confused mess of the worst in both games.
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.
Wouldn't blame you at all. Compared to early videos and Exilecon gameplay. We were lied to.
I've already started investing some of my time into helping Eko Software with their new ARPG. The foundation design is good and makes way more sense than PoE2 but it need some help.

This ascension looks cool, I didn't see any flaws in the gameplay.
However, I agree, MARTIAL ARTIST is the wrong name for this ascension.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like they're joking.
Behold, the martial artist!
*sits idly as he does a channeling spell summoning clones everywhere*
Also, a friend's reaction after showing him the video:
"Mostly by punching things very hard" (Mark's words, I think)
*looks inside: AOE screen slop with staff and explosions.

I don’t necessarily want bare bones melee attacks. I like flashy effects and cool moves. But what they showed with the martial artist is very much below average gameplay. It’s supposed to be a martial artist for gods sake. Make it play melee 🤷♂️

Take the rune, gloves, combo and mountain nodes then play hollow palm technique?
The bells are melee, and hollow form can be used with melee skills. Can't really expect a Monk i na fantasy game who walks the path of the dreamer to not have some magic lookin stuff going on
