'Better?' I've played them all - Titan Quest and sacred 2 to add another couple. I've been in the Path Of exile beta for a while now, it's graphically/technically way ahead of the D clones you mentioned.

I really like the skill tree in this game. Initially its looks a mess, but it doesn't take that long to work out what's what. My only complaint is that many of the nodes give little or no impact to your char, the game is more about equipment and gems rather than the skill tree. Although things are always changing since its beta.
I have been loving this beta, for one the content is vast. My main gripes are largely aesthetic, for one I find the camera to a bit too far zoomed in, having played the D3 beta I am more comfortable with that level of zoom and find myself wanting to "zoom out" a little playing Exile. Might just be me though.
You're not the only one when I requested as such I got told " tough **** if you don't like it go play something else "

Game is great customisation is BEST in genre 
(ruffle those D3 feathers)
Seriously though i had my beta account activated not 3 days ago
loving it since.
So much so i "Obtained accounts" for my group of freinds (7 so far)
all of who swear down they will stick with PoE over D3
partly because of the customisation / dark and gritty world
mostly on the "Cut Throat" league soon to be upon us (loot PvP)
We are playing on the "Hardcore League" and group as often as we can
still two of our group have died now sadly
(they get sent to the default league with none of their Bank)
Which means they can no longer play in our group as its separated league by league
If your desperate to play: Hint
a website which claims to be the craigslist of virtual goods

Aw man this looks like it could fill up my free time shame I dont have a beta key lol added to my long list of sign-ups
shame I dont have a beta key lol added to my long list of sign-ups Actually its already been zoomed out
People requested this and it was eventually zoomed out about 10% (assuming its still like that, been a few weeks since I played).One of the reasons they dont like to zoom out too much is that they believe it gives too much advantage to range classes in PvP. Closer view gives you less warning when mobs are incomming = more exciting
Got an email yesterday morning saying there will be a public stress test starting on Friday 5pm (New Zealand time)! Looking forward to this. They say we may be able to download the client prior to the public test starting but there is no link for it yet.

Some negatives which I personally don't like!
If you die some way out of town the the areas you visited while walking about reset it's self ( minimap-tab ). If you reload the game same thing, which means a tireless trek through the different waypoints trying to find out which direction it was. For example the caves with those squid things I had to do AGAIN and more so because I was lost.
Personally I prefer coins for selling items not stupid bits of paper and blue orb things which make more orb things and scrolls, which you use to identify!. I don't see me buying this tbh

I think I may give this another look, haven't played it for some time and would like to check out the new features. This weekend perhaps.
Each area is instanced, instances last 15mins before being lost. If you die you can return to the instance you were in (assuming you can get to it within 15mins), although if your waypoint is far away it can sometimes be a trek (also if your waypoint is in an instance you left > 15mins then it will be an new instance with new mobs). tbh it used to take quite a bit of effort to die in this game anyway, not sure how the balancing is just now though.
Reloads are different (if you restart the game), you seem to lose your instance.
Once they add PvP and a bit more content, this game will be really great
