As far as campaign goes, i actually had the same experience as they did. I heard everyone complain about how much harder warrior was, so i lvled one, and it was the easiest playthrough I had. I literally 1-2 shot every boss.

Did you play SSF? Otherwise it's not a relevant gameplay "feel" of the class. I'm playing SSF warrior right now and it's far from the easiest playthroughs. Somehow I'm not believing you that in SSF you are able to 2 shot Act 2 final boss.

No i didn’t play ssf, but it’s not the what you think. I play a pretty strict self imposed ssf. I don’t like buying stuff, it speeds up the progress too much for me. I do however, like selling things for currency though. Even with a mediocre weapon perfect strike does insane damage. It really wasn’t difficult for me. It’s anecdotal to say the least, but it’s still a pretty much identical outcome as the one mark described. 2 perfect strikes absolutely wreck bosses, and your weapon doesn’t need to be great. Try it out.

+1, Agreed overall for now. Also, again, as aforementioned, they have a past history track record -- and no, I don't believe that's the case ("melee < ranged" for decade+ perhaps).

To re-iterate (TLDR): post-interview, (personally) my current (until more data arrives from the community/YT/forums/Reddit/etc) bet will side on past history, i.e. "melee < ranged" and "zoom zoom 1-shot" -- so, no real changes from PoE1, essentially (with the main outlier of the campaign for the 1st ~60 lvls or so...lol --- and new melee classes like Druid/Templar/Marauder...lol [bye Warrior...lol {I don't count Monk...lol -- nor minion/Witch...lol}]) -- and timing-wise, I'll just say 2026+ (so, guessing 1 more year of gamedev until full Release post-this EA).

(Post this interview w/ the 2 GGG reps, I just decided to bite the bullet and re-rolled Monk [finally?] for SSF [felt the additional handicap of SSF would help Balance it out...lol. {Merc lvl ~64, Witch lvl 21, Warrior lvl 66 -- considering trying out the Quarterstaff for my Merc -- Re-spec Again...lol -- and yes, will still be on the lookout for future Druid/Templar/Marauder...lol}])

I was sold on this game when they PROMISED that warriors and consoles were going to be fun. Both are lies. Wasted 300hrs
