I put probably close to 1000 hours into Diablo 3 HC mode. I sold my account with arguably the best barb in the world at the time (600 hours played on him). I just picked up TL2 in the Steam sale.
It hit me when I was level 12 having not spent a single skill point and minimal stat points (only enough to use a few pieces of gear I found). Blizzard actually got the skill and stat system right with Diablo 3. The old skill/stat point system feels completely dated and unnecessary now. I was never a supporter of Blizzard's system even when I played the game. I just dealt with it. I finally see the light.
I should not have to read and research on the internet to play my character lvl 1-12 without the fear of ruining him in the long run. The old method (without respecs) is just bad.
