for those who are positive the fifth class is a ranged weapon specialist, how might blizzard avoid falling into pitfalls like the guided and multi arrow that they had to nerf eventually anyways? any creative ideas for ranged weapon skills that could really instill some new life into an arguably archaic rpg staple
Not sure, probably why they haven't release anything yet.
I've heard some pretty "out there" ideas for the 5th class, but boy does this take the cake! :mage:
Yeah because I'm sure that they took the time to draw it in, put it on random drops, and animations just so the barb could pick it up and shoot at beer bottles; you're right, im sure the 5th class will be a Druid/basketball player or something.
I poured so much scorn, so much insincerity, dredged up from the depths of animus pooling in the darkest crevasses of my soul, into this sarcastic attack of a post. Yet, you took it at face value, you stared the very face of passive-aggression in the eye and accept the hate filled words into your bosom as a truth, the very picture of the blessed christ-like fool. In one motion I applaud your rare messianic sincerity and weep for a world that could breed such simplicity, whether these tears are mournful or celebratory I will let your unworldly soul divine. :sorcerer:
Greetings omniscient one, it is I who in such simplicity weep at a world of men, men who can pour scorn and insincerity to a humble, and innocent bystander. To be underneath such a messiah as yourself, and to be ridiculed is an honor, As I can only look at it with great humor and project my sarcasm upon him for it only amuses myself with great success. But alas, what eludes my simple mind, is that after 20 minutes of "KQKYLE" in this thread, this is all he produced with his conceited brain.

I've been reading up on all sorts of different views and the one that hit me the hardest was, every class is viable in far and close range combat... So a PURE range class is out of the question. A Ranger/ Assassin would be a good guess. That's just me and a lot of reading though...
Well, the barb doesn't have a lot of range but I can see how he can leap. But yeah, I would say like a Ranger, someone who could use a bow for superior long range, and if needed too, could pull out a sword, javelin, or a dagger. The reason why they probably haven't said anything is because they could be working on its melee aspects, and imo, would need the most work.
So, I was watching the VERY first gameplay video made, back in blizzcon 08?
When the only two classes were the Barb and Witch Doctor.
So I was watching it, and I noticed a throwing dagger dropped, and im like "oh cool that must be for the monk".
Then I got to thinking, Monk wasn't even released at that time.
So then I thought some more, well, what item could be dropped that could be used for a char that hasn't been released yet? So I kept watching and sure enough.
Not sure, probably why they haven't release anything yet.

It was the short bow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhAVISPpNsU at 3:50
Does this mean the 5th class is going to wield a bow?
Could very well be, since the current 4 classes cant use a bow and it is speculated the 5th class was going to be a hunter/ranger.
Anyways, I thought it was interesting.
