≠ Stands apart with fantasy world, skill tree progression and loot and gear systems, while skipping survival mechanics

It is the most-recommended alternative when Diablo disappoints. Recent expansions added one-shot boss mechanics and dodge-roll timing that long-time players argue works against the build-driven design.
