Howdy folks. Looking at getting the game in a week or two when I am not broke af and get paid at this new job.

Been playing Diablo 2 Remaster and some POE for a few days and just curious how you guys think they compare to D4 currently? Is running a two handed sword necro any fun? And how is visual gear progression, is it mainly locked behind MTX?

I’ve played some og D2 back in the day and played quite a lot of FATE as a kid and teenager, and quite a lot Grim Dawn as well a few years ago. Had the itch to get back to this genre again and after playing a a bit D2:R and POE I think I’ll have the itch for a while aha.

Thanks for any input you guys might have

    Necro has probably the best looking gear of all the classes. Necro weapon doesn’t really factor into builds currently, but Necro has some really overpowered builds like Bone Spear and some really fun permanently invincible builds like infinimist.

    I’d say the game is a lot of fun right now for me, but I’m at the point where I’m slowly waiting for more content and the new season. I play a Druid and they’re extremely gear-dependant (all the builds except one or two require uniques) and so that was a bit of a struggle for some time. Level 82 and still haven’t seen that stupid Tempest Roar helmet though…

    Not sure how PoE compares to D4 - one is a lot more mature and the other is newer and a bit more barebones in my opinion. There’s a big builder + spender concept in D4 that is really different from PoE and can sometimes make gameplay really clunky if you don’t take care of itemizing properly.
