I liked diablo 3 and couldn't get into PoE at all but my guess is it's subjective

I hated the diablo 3 end game though

PoE is better for the people that like spending hours worrying about stat and skill points instead of playing an actual game.

Diablo 3 is the best on the market in its genre.

FFX is the best game of all time. The only good Nintendo franchises are Pokemon and Fire Emblem. Comics are for kids. https://i.imgur.com/LJ3WSyB.gif

Diabo 3 was god awful, probably my biggest gaming disappointment of the last 15 years.

POE is a far better game.

worrying about stats, gear, and skill points are what makes a game about clicking monsters on a screen and that's literally it fun.

Diablo 3 has much better combat
Path of Exile has much better build customization (but the build variety ends up being pretty similar to D3 anyway)

good summary, though i disagree on the latter point and think poe has significantly more variety

Is everything viable at end game levels?

no but any build that narrowly focused on nodes and notables related to its primary skillset will at least finish cruel with only moderate difficulty

The difference is with PoE you made characters for different end game purposes, some do maps, some go for bosses, some farm stuff, some craft, some want to do the final boss, some want to experiment and more.

there are definitely a narrow subset of builds that can do everything, ie aura necromancers, rf flameblasters, frostbolt totems, etc

The game is fun enough to where it honestly doesn't matter if your build is 100% viable in end-game. Though obviously you'd probably want at least one character that you've planned out a bit.

Then that's my point. There is more build variety at the outset, but on a competitive level very few builds remain. Diablo 3 has probably a higher variety of successful endgame builds than PoE at this point.

the favored build of the moment in PoE is league-dependent.

when we're talking about dozens of options, is a few more or less really that important?

There are literally 0 games that have good endgame. I always wonder what people like about farming gear, it's completely pointless and unfun.

Since endgame is completely irrelevant we'll have to compare PoE with diablo based on gameplay. Diablo has amazing fucking gameplay, one of the best gameplay games out there. Great campaign as well. Even the endgame is fun for a couple of days just because of the gameplay.

It also has great and innovative bosses.

Diablo wins.
