Originally posted by DMKano Ive put over 300 hours into both games, PoE is a good game, but the combat is just not as good as D3 in the end.D3 doesnt have the depth but really nails combat.Arpg weigh *heavily* on combat and imo D3 gets the edge still.I think with Reaper of Souls changes D3 will get another bump in the positive direction.

i will also like to add that there are actually more viable builds in D3 than there is in POE, at least last time i played it.
no matter what class you choose you end up using a lot of the same skills, not enough build diversity in this game IMO
plus, i get that people like it because they consider it the "true successor to D2" but to me that's just them being unoriginal and ripping off another games look and feel.
even with it's current flaws D3 is still the best current ARPG IMO

Last time I played D3 there were no builds, just toggling shit on and off whenever you felt like it, that isn't building that is toggling. There is no investment, planning, sacrifice, thinking required. In my book that isn't building. The combat for both games is basically the same in that you hit abilities and kill shit. If you like the graphics in animations better in D3, then I guess that is a personal preference. That said the build system and skill system for PoE is far deeper and more interesting than D3.

uhh no, you cannot just use any build in mp10, there are only certain builds you can use but there are a lot more that are viable than the ones in POE at higher levels, that's a fact.
if you tried to make a character in POE any way you wanted you would fail miserably by level 30
the combat is also much more fluid in D3, it is not personal preference unless you prefer clunkier combat.
The game could be good, but I just recently tried it and it doesn't offer what I am looking for personally + It has annoying bug with weapon swapping.
1.) Instead of having two different sets for skills like if I am swapping weapons between melee/ranged as a mage the only skills that swap on my bar are those that are on my weapon this screws it up so I can't have more skills on armors or anything those can't freely be swapped this is annoying.
2.) The content packs to me are not worthit it lacks the ability to freely customize, and respect the character any time you want, you also have no freedom to go full critical build as doing such you kill yourself a lot.
3.) Micro-Transactions are not so micro they cost an arm and a leg compared to other games it costs quite a bit for points/items compared to others I have played.
