While gear sets are a fundamental aspect of Diablo games, it would be great to see the required numbers reduced to provide greater diversification and personalization of builds with other legendary it

The Skill mechanics have been a controversial subject for fans. On the one hand players like the Diablo 2 skill tree that has players focusing on different skills for unique builds to complement their style of play.
