I want the feel like that power is earned.
This progression is something Diablo II does VERY well.
Your character never really reaches japanimu levels of absurdity with either melee skills or spells.
Barb's Bash, Conc, etc are just simple melee techniques with a simple graphic. Whirlwind and Berserk are a little more over the top, but nothing absurd.
Even the Necro and Sorc's magic is readable, has defined limits, and impact hitboxes that make sense.
Maybe Druid's Armageddon and Necro's Bone Walls are over the top, but that's not the norm.
In D3, everything is over the top animation wise.
