You can go blast monsters in PoE. Why would you want PoE2 to be just another PoE?

Problem is monsters in poe2 blasts you like in poe 1

Sure, the monsters are currently to fast and aggressive compared to the player. But that is a different point than what the article is trying to make. The fix to that isn't taking PoE2 and making it into PoE again.
