in d2 certain classes didnt need to rely on weapon dmg because skills were powerful on their own without a high dps weapon. just one example of why i wont be playing this game much after i clear inferno. items are just really unexciting. no more 5% chance to cast nova, 20 teleport charges, +1 to all skills, ethereal, etc...

not saying i wanted d3 to be just like d2 but they didnt really improve the items, they took a step backwards. i doubt they'll ever fix this.

Not saying I disagree but it took an expansion pack and multiple patches (3 years after release date iirc) before blizzard introduced those kinds of items in d2.
