Spells in the game are not tied to a class but are instead gained through skill gems that you equip in your items. But there’s also nothing wrong with going for Marauder and making it work along the way. In case you want to make a spell caster with a focus on elemental damage, picking Witch will bring you the closest to many of the related talents. The passive tree in PoE is enormous and your starting class only defines where on the tree you start. Unlike D3, though, classes don’t matter as much. In Path of Exile, attributes are also gained through the passive skill tree or items. Classes in Diablo III define a lot of your gameplay as you’ll be limited to certain spells and talents based on the character you chose. In Diablo III, attributes can only be gained through gear or skill tree talents. Attributes are also unlike Diablo II, where you received some points each time you level up. Rune words which were a fan-favorite way to make the exact item you need, are no longer there. Sadly, a lot of them were removed with Diablo III. Character customizationĭiablo II had a lot of options to build your character and customize items. Overall, both titles have a mature theme, except Diablo III reminds us of Warcraft in some cases.
The atmosphere in the game is as dark as it gets, with no restrictions on blood, gore and violence throughout the main story. The game’s graphics are definitely not better than D3 but they serve their purpose. Path of Exile is to some extent a better continuation of Diablo II than Diablo III. While you can’t say that it didn’t make an effort, the architecture and themes in D3 seem more like a dark fantasy setting when compared to the dark medieval feel of Diablo II. Atmosphereĭiablo II was one of the darkest games at the time and many expected that Diablo III to follow in its footsteps.
Unlike Diablo III, PoE relied on the free-to-play model. The title had more than 46,000 people participating in its open beta and managed to raise over $240,000 through pre-purchase microtransactions. Path of Exile released in 2013 and it was crowdfunded by fans. Arguably, most were let down by the different direction the game went in and it was further plagued by launch issues with servers, and errors and the infamous in-game store.
Release dateĭiablo III released in 2012 and had some big shoes to fill as fans of the franchise were eagerly awaiting a worthy successor of Diablo II. Fans of the MMORPG genre are probably familiar with both titles to some extent, but what truly sets them apart? Today we’ll take a look at some of the key differences between Diablo III and Path of Exile.
