wasn't D2 just baal runs and gambling in the end game ? That would be Grifts, with less variety. If you are talking about things you can do that aren't the optimal way, D3 beats the hell out of D2 in terms of variety. But only since D3 gets so much post game support. D2 got some insane patches too, though.
But nothing of that level that D3 is getting. Has something to do with the new generation of gamers though. They want new stuff unimportant of what it does or how much it costs.

Without GRifts there is no incentive to upgrade your gear other then for the sake of it. There is no goal once you have completed the campaign. GRifts gives you a thing to work towards constantly.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

For me D2 was all about PVP, and yes it wasnt perfect, but it worked. Especially after the sinergy patch, create new builds, farm the items, etc...

My firedruid was hilarious, it was awful in theory but it did so much damage, especially with Hurricane.

Diablo 3 could easily be that for me with a better pvp

I don't understand how greater rifts were a good idea to begin with. Seems to me like the community was just dying for anything so they embraced greater rifts. Blizzard were happy because it was one of the easiest content additions they could have done.

It seems like a pretty good engine, good classes, reasonable maps, but at the end of the day 99% of the game is just played on the rifts maps using a few builds. D2 felt like it had a lot more variety in every aspect.

A lot of people were calling for random dungeons with unlimited difficulty and leader boards. I think GRs is a pretty neat idea in that light.

I don't see how Greater Rifts are bad. It's something that someone can always push for. There's not just a wall of like Super Boss X, and once you beat that Boss, everything is just downhill from there.

It's something that you always push for to see where you are as a player, granted theres RNG involved, but that's Diablo.

GRIFT will be a bit more interesting again I hope with the new balance tuning. Damage scales differently, some tweaks to certain abilities and no more perm CC.

Hardcore GRifts are going to be absurdly fun. Lack of perma cc means that the people that get the highest are always playing on a knife edge.

Season starts in exactly 2 weeks. I'm excited for the new Sader and Monk sets. I was hoping for a viable WD set besides going mass summon for damage, but it doesn't seem very likely from what I've seen on PTR.

Saders and WDs are getting quite a bit next season I believe. Wiz archon set is getting a little love, and monks getting a seven sided strike set. Not sure about DH, and I think barbs are getting very little? Correct me if I'm wrong. Crusaders and WDs look to be fun next season though, no idea about how good, but lots of changes if you're looking for something fresh after taking a few months off.

They used WW before RoS came out, but then it was bad until they added a new set last season.

let me rephrase, which would be a good char to level now because the good builds dont need season 4 exclusive items.


and which char would be good to hold off on because the good builds require the season specific item :D



Does Barb need the seasonal item? It would be perfect for me to play now because i never played one and would have to level from scratch.

The new WD sets suck though. Carnevil/pet spam builds are still going to be the best for solo/damage. The new sets are just super clunky and kinda mediocre.

Wiz Archon set is going to be strong once you get all the pieces including specific legendaries for belt/helm/bracers.

Barbs and DH's aren't getting anything because they got new sets last season, but the old Leap/EQ set for Barbs is supposedly going to get a rework for season 5.

Saders are getting a new set that basically makes them Captain America and Thors illegitimate love child.

Biggest change in the season isn't the new sets or Kanai's Cube, but the massive CC changes that are going to make things interesting for pushing Greater Rifts in groups since perma-CC will no longer be a thing. This season may be the most interesting one weve had with all the massive changes happening.
