Original Post — Direct link

this game looks very promising, but I am curious what the game's direction will be in terms of clearspeed.

In particular, I am kinda getting bored of POE's clear speed meta, where everyone is trying to kill everything asap, and maps are ran in minutes at a time.

Will this game stay relatively slow?

The intention is for most enemies types to survive long enough to get various attacks off that make their base types and mods have a significant impact on gameplay.

Along with that we want to make sure that mana remains a relevant resource so high mana cost skills, including movement skills and high damage skills with large AoEs, aren't something you can spam at any point in the game.
