With Torchlight II, add SynergiesMOD to it, and you have about as close to a true Diablo 3 as you will ever see. PoE has the artistic style of Diablo and Diablo 2, but I remain with Torchlight II + SynergiesMOD. Lacking a true Necromancer bothers me in most games. So yes, I agree. It feels like I am playing Diablo 2 in Torchlight II far more than I am in PoE in all ways except artistic style. Heck, even being able to cheat brings me back to open Battle.net. There's some fun to be had with having cheats and exploits available.
PoE is clearly in the Diablo tradition far more than some games out there that are in the same genre, but that doesn't make it a spiritual successor in my eyes.

It probably still wont feel as much like a necromancer as you want it to, but very recently they patched PoE and added some new skills, passives, and uniques all geared towards summoner builds.
