After almost 10 years, there's still no attack-move option ( See Grim Dawn).
Additionally, the devs decided to arbitrarily delete a very interesting part of the game: building characters around procs.
The standard defensive and offensive tools the game provides are, by themselves, really weak. This is fine in a vacuum (albeit very boring), since you can finish the campaign with them, and special items like sets, uniques, and special idol effects would be expected to bridge this gap as the player delves into end-game.
Buuuut, some skills are extremely over-represented, while many others skills have nothing, or as mentioned at the start - what little they had has been completely destroyed since 1.3
As an example for combat skills, with reflect you can kill most anything before it has a chance to move, all that needs to happen is for the thing to look at you to oneshot itself.
By contrast, thorns totem, an otherwise completely trash and useless skill on its own, had an amazing and fun interaction with itself and a few other skills where you could proc it to spawn when hitting something, then use the spawned totem as fodder for other skills, sometimes as often as 50 times per second. No other supporting items (after almost a decade) so the viability was poor, but it was fun. The devs randomly capped this to once per second, completely killing the skill.
Some of the various defensive tools the player has, like dodge, armor, crit mitigation and block protect only from half of the damage sources, so the player is fully unprotected against the rest. Life scales very poorly. Endurance is now heavily restricted and capped. Resistances effectively set your protection to 0, else you would take extra damage...
Which leaves ward, with hundreds of uniques and effects dedicated to it, as the only meaningful form of defence.
Boring.
I've been trying this game since beta but every change has been one step forward, two steps back; every single time, with no exception.
