    It starts off a bit slow but really opens up at level 15, when the full breadth of the active skill system becomes apparent. It is much more D2 than either of those others.
    This is absolutely a hardcore game for the D2 min-maxers. The sheer depth and interplay of the gear - skill - gem systems provide a staggering amount of choices, and that's not to mention the passive skill tree.
