Diablo is certainly doable on a regular controller but it wouldn't be as effective a mouse/keyboard. If you think about all the shortcuts you use during a game you realize you'd quickly run out of buttons, not to mention targetting spells with dual analog would be a pain.

I've heard nonsense like this before.

There are dozens of games like Diablo on consoles....Diablo's nothing special is that regard.

How is any of what I said nonsense? In DII, you have 16 hotkey for spells and multiple other keys for inventory, stats, spells, quests, menus, merc inventory, weapon switch... It's obvious that you're better off with a keyboard to manage all that and since a mouse is more precise than dual analog there's no advantage in using a controller for a game like Diablo which is why I said it wouldn't be as effective.

The stortcut-hotkey's you are refering to are about as mandatory as Oblivion and Skyrim....

 

Ergo....they're not.

Certainly weren't for Torchlight

I'm sure Blizzard will figure and work it out just fine.
