I play path of exile myself
I got into Path of Exile way too early, and never got around to trying it again. Back then (what was it, 2013?) it was a time when I didn't have a working gaming PC and did everything on a business laptop, and of course it couldn't run the game properly. Also, I seem to remember that the early build of the game was a resource hog. I'm sure it's gotten a lot better since then.

I'm sure it's gotten a lot better since then.

Unless you play a summoner. Hah. Actually, my group played that game for a while, but the game gets to a point (like Diablo) where it seems like you're mainly just grinding to get ahead. It's a neat game though. I like the flexibility of the skill system. The selection screen is pretty impressive. I once though about trying to do something similar with Pathfinder. Hah.

Diablo 3 has some neat things about it. I didn't have most of those problems playing the PC versions though. The interface didn't give me problems like you.

As for abilities, yeah, every Wizard gains the same abilities at max level. It is up to each individual person to pick and choose which skills they want and which runes they want to modify each skill. The ease of switching allows you to only need to ever make one Wizard and simply play with the abilities rather than in D2 where once you made your selection you were done. Want to play Lightning, make a Lightning Sorc. Want to try Cold? Well, you better level a new Sorc from level 1. So it's one of the things I liked about the new Diablo, though admittedly, it's also a LOT easier to level your character to max level in D3. Got tired of it after a time though. Same thing over and over again... but I enjoyed it for a while. It's neat how unique items can modify abilities, making them even more unique. Sometimes I think dnd needs to do something like that with some magical items, modify specific class skills, giving more options and making more varieties.

Manbuns and vapes akimbo? Almost sounds like two oddly named brothers.

“Hello there, ladies. I’m Manbuns Akimbo. This is my brother, Vapes Akimbo. What are we drinking tonight?”
