Great now go play diablo2 classic and see if there's any thought required giving the most cookie cutter build the hammerdin on classic there's a choice do you want to be a light weight high health low defense hammerdin or a high defense hammerdin do you want to focus on fcr and wear a shard or damage and get a +2+3+3
Yeah, like I said, 2 builds per class maximum - read guides, pick one that suits you. Okay, I agree, reading counts as thought process but it doesn't take much time. ;)
Anyway, the only two real differences were that in classic you used duped rares instead of duped runewords and you did diaruns instead of baalruns. :)
All popular games will have guides written for them. It doesn't mean the game requires no thought. Ultimately it comes down to yourself. If you think levelling after a guide ruins your game, then don't read them.

There was a lot of different viable combinations in D2. 50-75 different builds.
D3 has an extremely limited skill pool in comparison.
PoE has a lot more. Or at least, will, have a lot more. (Around 100).

Every character (5) in D3 has around 24 different skills and there are 5 different skill-runes that change the skill more or less, but even without you have
5*24=120 skills, so I don't see how you come to your conclusion?

It's all nice in theory but nobody really used exotic builds. :) I quit long ago so can't tell you which ones are good now, but in 1.10 every ama was an LF javazon, every assi was an LS/DS trapsin, every barb was WW/Berserk, every sorc was Bliz/Meteor, etc.

Diablo 3 : Has better established legendary (uniques) and Set items.
Diablo3 has names for their unique/legendary items that's it
PoE : Lacks a lot of item finding.
Diablo3 is lacking a lot of item finding in fact I'd say on my first day in PoE I found more rares then I have on diablo3 during my first week in addition to that the need to find good items are greatly diminished by the crafting system
Diablo 3 : Better story line.
So far it has voice acting and any story after beta is unknown so just from what I can see diablo3 has a pretty bad story line
PoE : Barely any story line. Yeah you're right here but the story is getting worked on still
PoE : Better skills to pick BUT the leveling aspect of skill gems is kinda annoying if u find better ones.
It's annoying to gain a new skill in diablo3 because you have to make sure you're far enough away from combat that you can cast a 5-10 second channel spell just to go to town
Diablo 3 : Lacking in skill selection but doesn't need requirements like the skill gems in PoE.
The skill selection isn't that bad the biggest problem is you can so easily try out all the skills and find out exactly which one you want to use
PoE : Feels redundant when going through each difficulty, needs more BIG BOSSES.
Agreed but I get the feeling I'll feel the same way about diablo3
Diablo 3 : Exciting when fighting BIG BOSSES because of that item drop % they have.
Normal boss monsters are suppose to have a higher drop in inferno also the SK boss is really boring and that's the biggest boss in beta

Never in my life did I use a hammer for charge damage on my hammerdin. Or a wand for resistances?
Either you didn't play classic or you simply didn't PvP enough because while the wand was fairly uncommon the hammer was not

Quite a few of them skills are simply better then the other skills and most of the rune effects really doesn't change the skill enough for it to be considered a different skill imo like frenzy with a rune to give it more damage plus in most cases an unruned skill isn't even viable late game
However skill combinations that are viable diablo3 probably beats diablo2 but there will most definitely be cookie cutters

This Is one of those tough questions that really comes down to the player preference, I for one will play both but I would probably say path is the better one to play. Diablo 3 is a very EASY game to play, not too many ways to die at the start. Path on the other hand seems to be made for people that have played these games so far so its more difficult. I could be wrong since I'm not in the beta yet but that's what I think from all these videos out there.

Thanks for the comparison, nice to see someone who has experienced both enlighten those of us who have not.

Well...if you compare a very small part of Diablo 3 without many major features added to a practically a full game and you find them to be equal or Diablo 3 being a little less of a good game than PoE then you can be sure that Diablo 3 full version will be definitely better in any way. Diablo 3 will have everything that PoE does and alot more.

QFT, before blizzard ruins D3. GGG proved they listen to players instead of Bliz that reports to a CEO that give a turd about gamers and only cares about the bottom line.
Many thanks to fantazmat for the beta key!

This is your personal opinion, i do not agree.
These players often come here and want the same things they like in Diablo 3 (or D2). Diablo 3 announced PvP, people came here asking for the same thing in PoE...
