The game's fun depends on itemization

Many players say that itemization is the "special sauce" that makes Diablo games fun, and that Diablo 2 scored the highest marks on this. Diablo 4 brings back many of the same item qualities (e.g., Normal, Magic, Rare, Set Legendary, and Unique), but tweaks their mechanics to make all of them potentially useful. Systems like Magic Find, item durability, and class specific items also return.
