Played through normal with a wizzie. I have to say, there are a lot of design decisions I don't like at all.

Items are boring, and have a small set of modifiers. Combine that with no weapon limitations, and there is nothing special about loot, just go for main stat, vitality, damage, that's it.
Auction house makes crafting pointless. You can get exactly what you want for cheap on the AH. (this also trivializes loot) AH also makes gem crafting pointless, you can either spend about 90K to combine up a gem or just spend 2K and get it on the AH. Broken system.
Skill sets need customization, not just get this level and get this skill.
Playing through the story once, it just gets in the way afterward. D2 flowed so much smooth
THEY HAD A GOOD SYSTEM WITH DIABLO2, why fuck with it? It's worse in almost every way except artwork.

Also, online only. It causes problems.
