The loot tables are a lot more varied here compared to Diablo 3 allowing for more variety and utility That also extends to the classes which are locked to their respective skills and possible gear usage in the form of sets. The designers have the entire experience controlled from beginning to end with how loot is generated and what enemies you will be fighting.
