Wizardspike's a great mini-Dreamflange. The wiggly dagger's a nice look, too.

I'd completely forgotten about Apoc staves (that's what I get for not playing in several years). Some arty mages carry them instead of CC to deal with Soul Burners, but you do end up running back to town an awful lot to recharge it.
If you're interested in Torchlight, give the demo a try first. It seems to let you play as much as you want, but it sets a level cap at 7.

Regarding precision, I feel like the the mousefeel of D1 still hasn't been captured by anything else, either. Playing a warrior, you could feel each strike in your finger. The game just had great feedback that way. By comparison, I felt like D2 enemies were... squishy. Killing those Doom Knights in D2 felt nowhere near as satisfying as killing a Blood Knight.
Worse, nearly all games nowdays make enemy corpses vanish, which I'm sure they do for memory reasons but it still disturbs me. The worst offender to date is Dragon Age 2, where enemies seem to vanish before their corpses even hit the ground. "Oh look, that large dragon just melted into a pile of treasure." Whatever happened to surveying the destruction you've wrought? Bleh.
