I'd like to see a mix between a Warrior and a Necromancer. A life leeching heavy armored character with 1H and board and malefic auras that drain life or fear...things like that...
Thats the kind of class im talking about. Im not saying bring back the pally but the Barb doesn't come close to fitting the same sort of niche. And to the person that said the always rolled a barb with a shield, Im guessing you never played hell. They only way to solo hell with a barb is with whirlwind and frenzy.
Ok so it does seem the barbarian has taken the tank spot. Fair enough I didn't realise there was a shield skill tree. Its still a little disappointing, the Barbarian was always there for full on melee dps. Duel wielding and 2 handed weapons, a Barbarian with a shield doesnt really fit the traditional sort of barb
My vote goes for Dark Knight
Heavy armor & shields, dirty fighting maybe with daggers or even crossbows/throwing knives. Every fantasy world needs a Dark Knight.
Otherwise who will be there to throw dirt in your eye, bash you with their shield then stab you in the kidney????
The animals go and attack the enemy while the hunter stands back shoots arrows at them
I would almost bet money that this will be the last class unveiled
What an amazing thought you had...... A ranger that uses pets as a tank. Hrmmm let me think of where i have seen that before..... Bah go and play WoW. Damn wow fanboys
Seems a lot of people have decided the 5th class will be a bow user. I am not one of these people. It also seems that everyone has forgotten about shield users. Diablo 1 had the warrior Diablo 2 had the Paladin. I know the Barbarian has kind of replaced the traditional warrior type class. But I want something like a Knight as the 5th class. Whatever happened to a massive tower shield, huge full plate armor and a beautiful shiney 1 handed sword or axe.
Names for such a class could be
Templar
Crusader
Dark Knight ( Like a pally gone bad )
I don't know why people are getting so crazed about class specific items. I find them to be useful, awesome looking, and I am very happy no one else but my class can wear it. It makes your character a little bit more unique than everyone else. Plus I am sure Blizz will make these types of items drop a little less often since they should be in the upper portion of the most powerful items for your class(atleast the high level items). I would like to see lower level sets/uniques drop more often from bosses because we have a shorter period of time using them.
But yeah class specific items are good because they add more variety, and I do not think blizz will make every item in the game class specific, because that is not the Diablo way and it does not make sense to change it.
Lachdonan. I agree with you here but this is not the point i was making. Items in D2 like the shrunken head i thought were excellent. I loved have my necro running around with a squishy zombie head. What I was talking about here was the items in D2 that were not class specific and that i hoped it would stay that way for D3.
First of all sorry if there are post about this already, i could not find any.
Just wondering what peoples thoughts were to Armor/Weapons being class relative?
I always thought it was great being able to run a spell caster around in full plate and a great axe if i wanted to. Does anyone have any info on this as i hear there is talk that stats are auto assigned this already upsets me, and also suggests no plate for a non melee class. Blizzard could easily ruin this game with things such as sword skill level or plate/mail/leather/cloth skills like in WoW. God i hope nothing like that is brought in.
Yes i agree with the 1 item per slot idea like in age of conan/wow but age of conan does do it much better with the zoom in when moused over to see the 3d design or even better mouse over to zoom in and see the rare item artwork. Artwork impresses us we like pretty things hope they don't get lazy on the artwork. Like the orcs would say "me smash brai... OO SHINY"
It seems to me that there is a division here among Diablo fans. Those that love the Diablo series and those that love WoW. I am very much a part of the love Diablo series. I also especially dislike WoW. Everything about the way Blizzard has made WoW an slow slow grind as tainted many peoples opinion on WoW. This is why things such as BLOCK and crits showing up is going to upset many people. I believe there a lots of Diablo fans out there that dislike WoW as much as me and we don't want to see our favorite action rpg get turned into the cartoon visual stat counting boring grind that WoW is. Remember all you 11 million WoW fans out there, you have your WoW leave Diablo 3 for us true fans.
We don't want to be told that we need to get more AP or Strength or we need to max our fucking wisdom before you will let us go kill a big boss with you. We don't want to see numbers or we would go play AD&D we want to immerse ourselves in a dark dangerous fantasy world full of ugly demons to slash, fry, burn, freeze, smash and explode. Thank you that is my opinion.
Also everyone saying that if you can turn it off then that would be okay. Well what i say to that is that the fact that it is there changes the style of the game.The fact that the visual side of things is heading down the WoW cartoon path changes what Diablo is about. What Diablo fans want is Diablo 3 not WoW in the Diablo universe. Take a hint Blizzard keep your mindless lifless WoW fans paying there subscription but dont forget us with lives that need to be lived some of us want to play a well made game aswell but we may only have 30 mins to do a boss run. We need action fast and easily available. Also Blizzard remember we are the ones with jobs and money not your die hard wow fans that quit there jobs so they can get tier 7 gear. Please Blizzard WAKE UP!!!!
Okay i admit this may be getting a little off track. But this is what it is really about.
