Concluding, Diablo 2 is totally worth playing in 2020 because it is the father of the ARPG genre and one of the games that totally reshaped the landscape of roleplaying videogames. In addition if you are a Diablo fan, be sure to check our Diablo lore articles.

Diablo 2: The Best Solo Classes Ranked Worst To Best

• 7 Assassin.
• 6 Barbarian.
• 5 Amazon.
• 4 Sorceress.
• 3 Necromancer.
• 2 Druid.
• 1 Paladin.

Building on the success of its predecessor, Diablo (1997), and improving the gameplay, both in terms of updated character progression and a better developed story Diablo II was one of the most popular games of 2000 and has been cited as one of the greatest video games ever made.

Ultimately, while the games have a lot in common and share the same roots, they have a dissimilar scope and each its own distinct purpose. Diablo 2 Resurrected does not have to change anything but showcasing of the game, whereas Path of Exile 2 has the task to be a much better version of the current Path of Exile.

Well, for starters, Diablo 2 is hard! There is something to be said about a genuinely challenging game with no guarantee of a tangible reward. You could spend hours beating your head against the wall trying to defeat a certain boss or finish an uber Tristram run and not even get the gear you were hoping to drop.

The Diablo 2 Resurrected release date is confirmed for 23 September, 2021. The Diablo 2 remaster will be available on PC (as you’d expect) but also on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch for the very first time.

D3 is not easier (as both games are easy). D3 funnels to you a so great amount of gear that the struggle to push forward present in D2 is not present in D3. Only way to struggle in D3 is to push for higher GR, but very few people do it and it basically resorts into XP farming.

Diablo 2 has a lot more character customization. It has greater depth of skills, sockets, synergies between skills, unique craft-able items. But the game is graphically very dated. Diablo 3 has a lower bar to entry and is just more accessible overall.

Diablo II

Diablo 3 Best Class [Ranked Tier List] (Latest Patch)

• 1) Demon Hunter (S-Tier)
• 2) Barbarian (S-Tier)
• 3) Monk (A-Tier)
• 4) Necromancer (A-Tier)
• 5) Crusader (B-Tier)
• 6) Sorcerer (C-Tier)

Grim Dawn goes far beyond Diablo 3’s rift system to offer an expansive and dynamic end game for players who’ve played through the main story. Given how much more content there is to start with, Grim Dawn is definitely a step ahead from the get-go.

It is safe to say that POE’s graphics are as good as ‘Diablo 3’, if not better. The gameplay was greatly improved and is much complex than ‘Diablo 3’. You have to keep in mind various mechanics like teleporting, puncturing, stuns, and diverse skills.

The low levels are very fun, but the game just starts to feel so miserly after a while. I suppose the “correct” way to play is to only pick a very small number of skills and focus on maxing them out, but that just seems boring to me, and it really works against the depth of the build system.

[Top 10] Grim Dawn Best Classes (Grim Dawn Best Builds)

• Battlemage. A Battlemage dispatches some Cthonians with Olexra’s Flash Freeze.
• Druid. A Druid faces off against a group of hero and boss enemies in the Crucible.
• Ritualist. A Ritualist faces off against Aetherial undead.
• Dervish.
• Vindicator.
• Warlord.
• Infiltrator.
• Sorcerer.

Necromancer is one of the good classes that can unleash the dark side of Oathkeeper (the other one is Occultist). To be exact, I’m pertaining to vitality damage. There’s not much skills that Oathkeeper has to offer when it comes to dealing vitality damage.

Grim Dawn is like the perfect combination of Diablo 3 and Path of Exile — It has a great story and just the right amount of complexity to keep you coming back for more. It took me a while to gather my thoughts to write this review because Grim Dawn is one of the few games that I’ve actually fallen in love with.

Grim Dawn is probably the most traditional of the major ARPG titles on the market right now. If you want a spiritual successor to Diablo II, this is probably your best bet. Its most unique feature is the way it allows players to choose two classes and invest equally in both their skill trees.

Does Grim Dawn require an always-on internet connection? No, you can play single-player offline or LAN multiplayer. Internet is only required for the initial download and installation or for internet multiplayer matchmaking.
