Movement speed can be an incredibly important factor in Path of Exile 2. When it comes to exploring new zones, farming loot, or really anything that involves intense combat, movement speed can make a lot of difference. In this guide, we will see how you can increase your movement speed, from equipping the right gear to skill points allocation.
How To Increase Movement Speed: Boots
The easiest way to move faster in Path of Exile 2 is to get boots that have a special modifier that makes you move quicker. You can also choose specific paths on the skill tree that focus on speed, but this might make it harder to fight enemies. There are also special gems, which, when used, can increase your moving speed. It is of extreme use, especially when traveling great distances. Don’t get attached to the recommended ones, though. Explore more at the Skill and Support Gem menu to find the suitable choice for your character.
How To Increase Movement Speed: Modifiers
The best way to get a movement speed boost is by finding special boots. These boots can be found as magic or rare items and will already have a movement speed bonus. Keep an eye out for these boots and equip the ones with the highest movement speed. You can also add more modifiers to these boots to make them even better until you find a better pair. If you’re struggling with movement speed, focus on getting and improving your boots. These items have a higher chance of having a movement speed bonus compared to other gear.
How To Increase Movement Speed: Passive Skills
Path of Exile 2 offers ways to move faster, like special points on the skill tree called “Notable nodes” and some regular skill points. A specific skill called “Blur” (unlocked at level 5) makes you move faster and harder to hit. You can get movement speed as well by picking a particular path on the skill tree called “Cross Strike.” You can use special in-game currencies to improve the quality of your boots or add new abilities to them.
However, if one does that, it could be perilous because although it makes leveling faster, it is going to weaken combat capabilities making enemies and bosses tougher. So, while it’s tempting to move faster, it’s important to balance it with skills that make you stronger in combat.
