Whenever they show PoE 2 content, I am always disappointed on how slow the game feels. Maybe this is deliberate, so we can properly see the skills or they are showing low-level content but it seems a bit boring to play. Of course, it is also possible that the years of playing a flicker strike build have rotted my brain and now everything else seems slow in comparison.
That being said, today was better than usual, the mercenary did have decent kill speed for once. I am not sure I like the idea of magical crossbow that behave like shotguns or assault rifles, as it seems a bit difficult to imagine. Using WASD for movement is a great idea, though, Path of Exile made correct positioning more imporant over the years but the mouse movement was never really precise enough for it. I wish they would add this option to Path of Exile 1 as well.
