Stay a while and listen...
I played DIablo II from Act I to IV with the same group of five that interchanged and it remains one of my greatest gaming experiences. D2 still to this day has one of the most enjoyable gameplay loops and gives you the tools to keep coming back with a bunch of exciting and unique classes. I was an Amazon main in my first run through, yet loved experimenting with characters like Paladin and Barbarian because they were so varied and interesting.
Music and tone are two other phenomenal aspects of this game that lend to its agelessness. The score of D2 is impeccable and players until time's end will remember the chilling sound of "Tristram" from the time they loaded into Act I. The dark and sullen tone of D2 that continues all the way through LoD is a great accent on the dark nature of the story and enemies you fight.
Diablo II is a great culmination of all things in ARPGs and is certainly the height of the genre, even better it still holds up to this day.
