Torchlight 2 should scratch that itch. To me, Path of Exile is something the Diablo series could have been but wasn't exactly? Though I haven't played it in a number of years, so I may be mis-remembering exactly what it was like. I seem to think it was more like a point-and-click RPG with kinda Diablo-like combat.

Path of Exile has "evolved", and not in a way I like, in the most recent years.

It's a very fast, clear-speed focused game, now, more so than ever. Even inside it's genre, it's exceptionally build focused and not very interactive during play, which is impressive, considering these are things the genre is known for.
