You'd probably like Guild Wars then.. In many ways, it felt like a Diablo III
In what ways?
Guild Wars just never felt anything like what I'd expect from the Diablo series to me.
It just seems closer to just giving instructions to your character, and not all that reactive to me. I think it has to do a lot with the actual mouse usage for attacking, skill usage, movement. Guild Wars does allow movement with the mouse, and to a degree attacking, but it always feels more like giving commands to the character and not playing as the character.
Sure you can argue that you have more skills readily available than just the left and right mouse button setup in the Diablo series, but you could easily swap to any other skill while in the middle of combat if needed instead of having to go to a town or outpost to change what skills are set for usage.
The other thing that did bother me with Guild Wars is that virtually anywhere outside of starting areas, you basically need other players (or heroes and mercenaries for those who are still going solo) to not get your ass handed to you if you aren't sufficiently overpowered for the area or some sort of farm build that requires a very specific setup that doesn't deviate much that only works in a handful of locations at most. Though I did like the fact that it at least allowed you to still play through areas by yourself while still having the support needed in the form of heroes and mercenaries.
