Diablo esque combat in 3d

  What do you mean exactly by Diablo combat? As in mouse click for movement and only a few spells on keybinds?
  Or you're just looking for a fast paced combat slashing a lot of mobs?

  you could try Borderlands/ Borderlands 2 ( and a moon version 2.5 ) - there are goty's with huge content and it is fun lots of enemys and a ton of loot   --- but you need to like SHOOTER because of the setting

  Oh, man. Wish there were.
  
  I dont get it why nobody gets the potential ?
  
  
  Blizzard actually considered to make D3 this way. But didnt because Blizz are afraid to do anything original ever. And their games are only clones (of their own games or someone elses) and god forbid they make new game mechanic.
  
  Hellgate London, that actually should have been 3D Diablo , and was made by guys that worked on Diablo, failed. But not because of gameplay - that was actually the good part.
  
  The makers of Dead island are actually making game like this , but its very long time in development and scrapped few times allready

  From released games I would definetly try Dragon's Dogma , Dark Souls.

  You can do a City of Heroes type game where you're often fighting massive packs of mobs at a time.  That was fun.
  
  But it really didn't feel like "diablo-esque combat", because that feel is largely driven by the camera perspective (you can see the flank incoming, and react accordingly.)
  
  The other main part of the feel comes from the item drops, and Borderlands is a good suggestion (though personally even though I love FPSes and RPGs, I find they're very strongly in conflict.  When I played Borderlands (and to a lesser degree Fallout 4) I felt like I was just pouring bullets into mobs while others died almost instantly, and it felt jarring enough that I couldn't bring myself to stick with it (even though Borderlands oozes style, has solid humor, and was a pretty interesting world/story.)
  
  Mass Effect seems to be least affected by the awkwardness of pairing RPG with FPS elements, as I enjoyed the combat a lot in all three games.  Never dug into why that was -- presumably it was that my guns always felt reasonably lethal?
  
  But in terms of Diablo-esque, so much of the gameplay is driven by the perspective itself.  You can get the other things (lots of randomized loot, randomized mobs, hordes of easily-killed mobs) in an over-the-shoulder game and that sounds reasonably fun, but I'm not sure I'd consider it Diablo-esque.

  Trove.
  
  Even has diabolo like random stat loot.

  
  Close. But unfortunately does not have random loot.
  
  The loot only have random appearance but stats are not random. Every item of same level has exactly same stats

  Hellgate: London did, I found it pretty awesome too. Unfortunately they shut it down although I believe some Asian company took over and relaunched. You could look into it, it might still be around.

  Well if you like PVP then I would say SMITE.  It does have an arena and objective based maps, not just lane pushing.  However it's a MOBA, to include character progression and build building that lasts for only a 15-30 minute match.  Then you reset to zero.  But then again so does everyone else.  If you prefer PVE with what you describe then yeh, look elsewhere.

  There was an old game of which I forgot the name of.. I think it is still around. Hmm.. Way of the Warrior or something like that. It was 3d and had randomized loot. I cannot remember though if it had action combat or was traditional tab target like EQ or WoW.

  are there any MMO's that offer the massive fastpaced Diablo combat in a 3d setting with behind the shoulder cammera?

  Closest I can think of is DC Universe Online. Lots of clicking to attack in real time. You have your specials to cast.... Its very fast paced and packed like Diablo too.
