Gameplay is pretty fun but it was so obviously designed to work around the auction house which saps any enjoyment towards the end. Once you hit inferno you basically have to farm gold (it's dressed up as getting gear but the drop rates for useful gear are so pathetic you're forced to just sell the naff stuff to the vendor then auction the rest) to buy stuff from the AH or part with some real cash. I don't know how much the average person would net in gold within an hour but it's probably around a couple quid which makes the real-money auction house attractive. See my gripe?

It used to be about making brilliant games and consequently making lots of money from sales but now it's just these thinly veiled schemes to extract as much money as possible from the customer. It makes for really shallow games.
 
Got 200 hours of fun out of it. Definitely worth it if you're a fan of diablo in general imo. You won't get that much gameplay out of many other games for the price.
 
i got bored. I dont want to play through any game 4 times, let alone a game that is stupidly easy the first 3 times.

I got to level 60 at Hell and stopped because I just couldnt be bothered doing the same bloody grind over and over.
 
I've just made myself a Demon Hunter after completing the game on Normal with my Barbarian... it only took me 3 months! That is after I stopped playing at the beginning of June. Anyway, I am really loving the Demon Hunter, I can see myself taking him through to Nightmare at least so I can make him look badass. Besides the "always online" DRM, I don't really understand all the hate surrounding this game.

I think it's mainly frustration setting in, mostly from the bad itemisation and lack of end-game. Personally, I'm frustrated at the bad rolls I keep getting on items. Definitely don't hate the game though, 730 hours played and I still log on for more.

once you hit inferno that is when u might start to hate it as well as its geared very heavily to making you use the auction house to get gear at that point, plus when your level 60 you will have to rely on gear to increase your stats :)

if any one wants to add me btw for farming acts or just playing together or need a hand just add me Xzenon#2611 :)

It's a solid game with some very silly flaws that could be easily fixed - yet for some reason aren't.
Like flibby said - frustration :/

you have a level 25 weapon on a level 41 mage, thats the thing that really stuck out on your stats, add me in game Xzenon#2611 and ill buy you something more fitting for your level on the ah dps wise and possibly a staff with higher stats than your off hand and wand put together for free plus i can give u a hand through the game if u want :)

might have some upgrades for you in my storage as well :)

ive got a demon hunter thats mowing through nightmare so could use the company or i could fly through it with my wiz for you :)

When I was around that level on nightmare, I had about the same HP as you right up untill inferno. I just kept buying the best weapon I could find on the AH, and then enemies were just dead before they even have a chance to damage me.

Either:
Look at upgrading some of your lower statted armour, like your boots and belt first, then maybe gloves.

Or, you try what I did and try find a better weapon on the AH. The last one I got before inferno was a 2 handed staff for 9k.

Your passive skills you are using Galvanizing ward - which boosts your armour skills but you don't have any armour skills selected.

Personally, I'd switch out either the Hydra or Familer for Magic Weapon, with the force weapon rune. If you're dying a lot, you can try switching the other one or Archon to Energy Armour.

I have also used Arcane Orb pretty much fright from the start, and primary attack as Electrocute - I've switched to magic missile in inferno though.

This is a similer build to what I used untill inferno:

For Inferno act 1 I've replaced Archon with Teleport and Electrocute with Magic Missile. Some runes I changed too on Energy Armour.

What I've said here is probably all wrong and I'm sure there are better ways to do things, but it worked for me and there wasn't many areas I massivly struggled with (untill inferno). When I did find things were not dieing as fast, I simply started looking at what my worst items were any upgrading them.
 
It's very good and entertaining if you treat it as you do some throw away RPG. You put your hours in, enjoy it, love the story or what have you but there is little point to playing it once you're done.

If you're expecting to get a game which this time next year you will still be balls deep in then I'd consider GW2/PS2 instead, D3 is 4 Acts you repeat three times to get to top level then if you want spend a lot of hours gearing a character repeating most likely just one of those acts endlessly.

in act2 boss fight u must switch to full dps skills since tank build doesnt have enough dps to kill belial before he enrages. Of course if you have really good acid dodging skills you can beat him even enraged but it will take time.

I used leap + call of the acients + wrath of barb + earthquake with boon of bulkathos, ruthless and weap master as passive
