So far I'm liking the game better than D2, though I've just started.
The absence of PlugY kind of sucks, but maybe it'll get an app like that eventually. Or maybe the Devs will patch in (or expand in) a good stash.
I'm trying a Soothsayer out, the Ternion attack and pets + heal seems cool. I like the fact that I actually have to heal my pets; unlike D2's pets where they either survived or died and had to be resummoned (which could be really lame for revives/skels).
The boss encounters definitely keep me on my toes more than D2's encounters, which is a good thing. I haven't died yet though, but have come close. It seems the devs did a good job on managing bosses damage/health, in contrast to the D2 wimps/1-hits (other than the very sparse act bosses).
In general the drops seem to be much better than D2's, which I like. I don't like feeling like an organic Meph Bot just to get some good drops.:)
But I'm just finishing Greece... so these are just my first impressions.
