  Diablo 3 and Path of Exile similar in a lot of ways, but they're both target for completely different audiences. Diablo 3 caters more to casual gamers and Path of Exile is 100% for hardcore gamers that are looking for a game that they can spend hundreds, if not thousands of hours playing.

  Diablo 3 has much smoother gameplay than Path of Exile. There are quite a few skills in Diablo 3 that you can execute at the same time and you will constantly be using every skill that you have chosen. In Path of Exile, most people focus on one or two main skills that they spam over and over. Path of Exile is more similar to Diablo 2 in that regard, and I don't see it as a problem.

  The main draw of Path of Exile, in my opinion, is the infinite ways you can create/design a character. The passive skill tree in Path of Exile is huge. There are also a on of different skills and gems that augment those skills. For example, if you use the Ice Spear skill, you can use a multiple projectile support gem to make it shoot more than one Ice Spear at a time, transforming a single target skill into an AoE/Cone skill. You could then add a few other support gems(critical strike chance, cold penetration, etc) to make Ice Spear even more powerful.
