Your spec in TL2 can honestly make you feel like a different class. An engineer can focus on being a sword and board tanky class, a two handed fire and electricity spewing monster, or a blow the doors off cannon wielding fiend just based on how you spec.
Then that spec translates to you using and desiring different types of gear. That kind of depth isn't present in D3 at all.
