I would like to start by saying the game looks great. I get the D2 nostalgia in all the best ways! I like the new combat system. As a melee player I feel the warrior is very slow and disadvantaged compared to other characters. I personally am level 80 Titan and have failed the 3rd ascendancy trail more times than is fun or acceptable. The scorpion king trail 3 every time definitely impossible with sunder skill is ridiculously slow. I gave up. There are few bugs with stash interaction can be smoothed out. I very much appreciate cross platform play because console market could be tough.
One question is if you want orb crafting to be the way why are the new (scouring) orbs so rare? If we could remove affixes more easily it would be more enticing to orb craft.
Is it possible that we could destroy the rune in an item to replace it with a new one?
Lastly Id like to say overall I love the game, that said.
Why does melee always have to be so bad the range characters are vastly more powerful the same was true for poe 1. I get a sword is limited in the face of a rain of toxic arrows but Melee doesn’t have to suck free the warriors lol
