My next step with minions is getting some lvl 2 support gems. I saw he did reavers before ebut maybe arsonists are better.

its hit or miss for sure. it IS neat to have enemies push you back. like rollers. but can be very spotty. makes minions a pita at times.
using frost wall, I have noticed dodge rolls DO have smaller collision boxes. I can roll through holes that I can't walk through.

xbow grenades basically function just like traps.
theres a few mobility tied to weapons. bow has a leap back iirc. quarterstaff does as well.
lightning warp dives forward to cull an enemy, or ball lighting.
comet when cast on self, causes you to leap back.
leap slam, etc.

I feel you man, I wanted to go 1hand/shield build, but with the shit DPS there is no fucking way. I am 17 now and need the Executioner, and the Master of winds dude to move on, (is there another act 1 boss?), but now it's a skill issue, just figuring out best way to fight. As far as gear, I have 3 yellows, the rest decent level 13 blues, all jewelry, an anti stun charm, and all skills at level IV. I got alot of good drops, including currency by farming the crop circle even in the farm lands. I have literally cleared the hunting grounds, farms, and town a dozen times each to get some loot, including 2 legendary items I couldn't use.
TLDR: The frustration is real, hang in there and farm you will get what you need.
This is my Tree atm, nothing special.

As a big melee enjoyer despite how shitty it has always been in PoE 1, I'm on the first part of A3 playing a Titan and loving it. The small passives bonus is HUGE.
My only complaint about melee so far is just the lack of skills. Slam type shit was never my favorite.

I enjoy the game but I do get pissed at times, usually my own fault because I suck at video games now.
They said multiple times this is not PoE. This is the game they always wanted to make if they had resources. The game is not for everyone much like other games like the Souls games are not for everyone.
Also this is Early Access, give feedback to the devs and maybe some stuff will be tuned. Personally I would like a small dip in difficulty, not much but a tiny bit easier. Also if drops are scarce the currency should be flowing faster.
I get Exalts but not enough to craft upgrades as I need to.

What is the key to not sliding around 100% of the time and can never stand still? I am using mouse move since I have limied use of my left arm/hand. It's nothing like PoE 1. I move a 1/4 inch and then I keep moon walking/sliding until I hit a wall. It's like being on ice all the time. Once I hit a wall I try to move back into range of the boss and I slide till I hit another wall. I think you do less damage while moving. Super annoying. I have move only selected on my left mouse button.

Honestly, just giving roll some i-frames would be a massive help in regards to difficulty.

I think if they fix the item issue, the difficulty suddenly gets fixed as a side effect.
Also, finished up the trial this morning. We figured duoing it was a mistake cause it made the boss just have so much fucking hp (I think the scaling is poor with multiplayer, by the way, seems ridiculously harder than solo). I did the lvl 22 trial at level 30. Still finished with half my honour. There's just some shit that's almost impossible to avoid. Also, don't forget that shit that didn't despawn or hits you after a timer runs out will still sap your honour.
Pro-tip, by the way, don't blow all your sacred water on a merchant at the end just cause you have it. You can trade it for keys at the end. Wish I'd known. Still had enough to get a gold key and got 3 jewels from it. They weren't great, but it would've been nice to get more keys.

are you saying this, as in, you don't think they are in the game, or just, why no drop?
same. in, have not had one or a shard drop.
but I think #3 is alch orb. 6 is vaal of course. 8 is divine I think. 9?? new annul maybe? 10 is binding I think. add rune sockets. 11 is mirror of course.
jeweler orbs for the next row. +links to skillgems.
gemcutters and glassblowers.
disenchanting rares gives regal shards.
Bug that seems to happen every now and then. Affects all usable items, I couldn't identify anything suddenly. Not sure if it is the zone that "bugs" so to speak. Happened to me when I was in the caravan. Going to char select and back fixed it, but might be enough to zone to a different area.

Sword and Board is beyond saving in the game's current state.
With how much of your damage potential revolves around stun I kind of dislike that you seemingly need to go down the stun buildup path. At least a little otherwise you wont stun remotely as often as you need to for it to work.

POE2 clearly intends for you to expend all of your currency in the campaign. I see this as a reasonably clever way to teach people exactly what happens when you use the currencies.
However, it also needs to drop more often.
