Is there a good comparison online of PoE to D2? Curious what the general pros/cons/thoughts are between each game

you mean POE vs D3? Because D2 is very primitive in comparison, the only thing it has over POE is PvP, otherwise POE is basically superior in every way

poe has pvp but it's generally bad and not at all balanced. it won't be something fixed with poe2

how about trading + end-game?

seems like trading is mostly currency focused, rather than item focused?

and end-game is just more PVM then?

dude i'm not going to break it all down for you, just know that if it's not PvP, then POE is 100% superior. you can google yourself the rest

Trading and end game is considerably deeper than D2

PvP its nothing because it would be impossible to balance all skills for PvM and PvP every 12 weeks in PoE because the new content they add.


If you're wanting a PvM, crafting, and trading adventure

PoE is probably the best ARPG currently playable
