Brainless grind? A lottery? You're describing PoE with that.

Let me tell you this: I own RoS, I have a Wizzard with 1 million damege. The loot grind in RoS for me is:

1. All rare items are trash. They're nothing. They may as well be grays.
2. MOST of the Legendaries are just glorified rares. It's fucking horrible and a disgrace to an ARPG genre. There are only a handful of legs with legendary affix. Like, what the fuck were they smoking making those bland legs?
3. I only look for a few specific BiS legendaries/sets. The chance for me of getting those legs/sets are minimal. And guess what? I CAN'T EVEN TRADE FOR THE PIECE I NEED!

TLDR: After you hit 1M damage you sell or don't even pick up most rares. Most legs are trash, you only look for a few BiS ones. You can't trade for the piece you need.

In PoE I could have no luck farming for a specific piece I need, BUT the most important thing is I will always get myself closer to what I need because I will TRADE my farmed items/currency for the piece I need.

This is the main and the biggest reason why D3 suck. You can grind for days and you won't be closer to getting that piece. Ever.

Oh, and once you have a barb, there is absolutely no reason to roll another. That also is a disgrace to an ARPG genre.

D3 RoS is fucking horrible and you know that. Stop lying to yourself and look at facts.

But hey, at least you won't end up rerolling a character because you had no luck, which is the #1 reason of rerolling in PoE.

1. All rare items, at the point where you can only find an upgrade in legendaries, are crafting materials, whether in salvaging or selling. Of course you won't be able to upgrade your gear without them, and that's where you're contradicting yourself.

2. No, you are lying about only handful of them having a "legendary affix".
Rings are certainly the worst gear pieces at that area, at least from my experience. All others are in a decent position, yet still require a lot more work. The caps-locked word "most" implies that it's a huge majority, yet it's not, it's a majority, but nowhere near that.
Legendary item =/= Unique item.

3. Yes they are, as they should be? And yes, you cannot trade for them, there is no easy way out.

Your TLDR... the rare part is already touched in 1. After you hit that gear wall, it's all about min-maxing, as it should be. Most legendaries are crafting materials.

Not getting closer to a gear piece? Well yes, there's no "20 exalts more and the item is mine". You have to play the game more and on the harder difficulty, and that's increasing your chance of getting that gear piece.

There is a reason to reroll another Barbarian, especially if you won't use the gear dropped on the former one. There is a huge chance you won't end up using the same skills and runes on them, depending on the gear drop. But overall, yes, it's not that shiny to reroll the same class, if you want to play a different skill in the same class, you just do it if you want.
However, rolling different classes is fine.

But hey, at least you won't end up rerolling a character because you had no luck, which is the #1 reason of rerolling in PoE.

D3 Ros is a fine game, average game, it has many weak points, but has few of them that are top notch.
PoE is a better game overall, it has many great points, but has few of them that are horrible.


@Kevanfield

What's a real interaction? Trading? Not a chance.
What events for improving sociability?

If you end up gambling (crafting) in your whole playtime in PoE, in a pursuit of a great item in a way other than Alching white bases or Chaos spamming... And ultimately, if you'll want it, prepare for a tradefest.

What a bunch of....

1)Isnt the same for POE?I mean all items,aren't salvagable materials?A rare in poe is RARE indeed,it can outtop a unique item in terms of dps and usefulness,if you build around it

2)And while we are at it,no LEGENDARYS are not UNIQUES.Not in the slightest form they are now

3)Yes they shouyld be.However here,there is an option to do this,even if i wont.In D3 no.

Rerolling a barbarian makes no sense.If you want you get the new equipment you found and change skills on the fly and there you go.

Rerolling on POE is exploring new BUILDS.BUILDS.Did i say BUILDS?There is no such thing in D3.The rerolled barbarian can have the same stats your other barbarian has if you dont give them the proper items.And even if you give them the items,that cant be called a "build".There is no insentive to make another one.

The main reason of rerolling its just that.No luck walls or anything.Its just the fun you can get out of your new BUILDS.Those BUILDS,which are literaly too freakin many,and you can watch this in the section of each char.I have 24 chars in POE.Each different.In D3 i could have one char and a potato and still the potato could be the same.

They can work on sociability though.But as it stands now,trading also is a sociability action,which d3 lacks.

D3 is a fun game,below average,it has many weak points,indeed

And at least here i can take the chance to make a white item into a Bis gear.
