Respeccing on the fly meant that finding a powerful Unique weapon or armor was almost never a disappointment rather than a cause for celebration. In contrast, finding a powerful item in Diablo 3 might prompt you to completely change up your build to focus on whatever skills that item improved. There were countless times playing Diablo 2 when I’d find an item that was completely useless to my current build, so it would immediately get tossed into my stash to maybe one day see use on a totally different character or to eventually be bartered away for a Stone of Jordan. But there’s one thing that should not be changed, and that’s skill respeccing.ĭon’t get me wrong, I absolutely acknowledge that the ability to change your build on the fly was overall an improvement to gameplay when Diablo 3 came around. That’s fine-Diablo 3, after all, was made to include all the various improvements to the hack-and-slash genre that were developed between its release and Diablo 2 (many of them created by non-Blizzard developers). Diablo 2 remastered may not be announced yet, and Diablo 2 Resurrected is still just rumor, but this Diablo 2 remake is a great Grim Dawn mod that recreates Diablo 2 gameplay.

There will also be a shared stash for all your characters, which is another added QOL improvement from Diablo 3. For example, gold will become an auto pick up just like it is in Diablo 3.

Of course, there are still going to be some tweaks.
