Lol, the vast majority of PvP players care nothing about balance, they just spam hammers then claim that it's all about skill. There is very little skill involved in D2 PvP anymore, it's all about items.
Lol so true, but i was talking about other pvp games, where they are hardcore and everyone has played enough to get the best of the most popoular types of sets making skill count. Diablo 3 (i hope) wont have a case of hammers and will be carefully made
Oh lol, umm... If you Make a character, and you think he is good, and you enter pvp late-game and get pwnt in the face, you go and see why.
When you figure out that its because the pve people have just played mind numbingly for weeks without sleep, you may have to do the same (grinding) to make a difference, making all aspects of the pvp stage boring.
Die continuously, or grind till your braindead to not die.
From what ive seen, pvp lovers like ballance in order for their skillz to make a difference in the tide of battle.
I played a build similar to that and used Bone Wall and Bone Prison to keep monsters away and the monsters would kill themselves by the curses. It was a fun build.
Another Build I played was the Pacifist Barbarian. Let the Merc do all the killing and just use his Warcries and Passives to either boost the Merc or to tank better.
First character i played was the pally, i went straight for what i thought would be the most powerful instead of being creative *ashamed* Turns out being a zealadin is actually powerful now! (with the right aura set =/ )
I prefer Single Player Hardcore over everything. So the closest thing is PvE.
I never liked PvP. It never interested me. I do not mind it being in the game.
I like to play games at my own pace and quite often I like to build builds that people say are crappy and take great pleasure taking them as far as I can get.
Pvp for the ragers/showy and Pve for the visually needy...
Yea full game experience for me all the way. But should you devote yourself to making your perfect build; showing it off from time to time at endgame can be satisfying.
Pvp has its flaws and is risky, requiring a painfully large amount of changing in trying to stop everyone from choosing the most effective build. While Pve and co-op, while needing a more frequently changing atmosphere to stay interesting, needs very little (i would think).
As for the picture that Zhar has in the OP, that pic looks solid to me. I'm sold on that look. However, the ones I viewed at Blizz's D3 dot com site were not as forgiving. I'm of the like mind with some people here that the armor look for her, and by that, yes, I mean the shoulderpads/pauldrons, is a bit off. That aside, the concept art for the female monk is decent enough - by looks, you know she's a woman, and by skills in battle, you know that she could probably hold her own against someone like...say, Xena.
Practical realistic monk armour doesnt do it for me; big dangley symbolic pendants are the way to go.
p.s. I would love to see a monk pull some cheezy move and pull out a still beating heart from some beefy classic winged demon.
im happy to say that charging skills were not a problem in endgame for my driud; being fast enough to charge up off outside creeps. but in d3 it may be a different story due to the likely uncrappy pvp (having no outside monster influence).
i was sure that only one damage reduciton item worked and didnt stack in any way with the others. Otherwise people would be striving for 100%. or does it stack and lose % with each starting from the highest % in one item. (simalar to the armour system in wc3)
i like the idea of being able to experiment with trees without releveling a character of the same class more than once
looking around, i like the wow approach to respecing. dual specs sounds like a fun idea, and it makes sense as far as i can see. as for the out of combat idea, for a replacement they could add a 1min penalty in swapping between these dual roles(or combat advantages as there is only one role in d3... kill stuff).
though this may not work with the new skill distribution style, but an alternative will be a refreshing change.
u get pulverised and facemelted. then after, what's left over is turned inside out and explodes after your bones are squeezed out. fun! =D

The boss bitch-slaps you to the ground and holds you down as he casts an Ice beam at you, you struggle but in the end are frozen trying to sit up with one arm outstretched. Your corpse then becomes a permanent feature of the map. It would be cool if different people died in different positions so the battlefield could be littered with varied ice corpses.
Il just say it now, lets say you have filled up all but the last layer of your inventory, and you still have 2 more spaces; you find a sword and it takes 2 spaces, and you dont wana throw out something... why cant i just put it on its side? I think it would be a great idea to change the inventory space to an even number of layers (not columns)
For all thoes items you just wish you could put on its side.
The gameplay of the monk seems quite effective and fullproof to a standard where adding auras to this style of combat would mean, if they were to stop the monk from becoming overpowered, they would have to lessen the impact of the auras. I like a character where the auras impact the group significantly, and become interchangable and effective abilities in themselves.
As for the socalled *role* of the supporter, i dont think the auras should influence the character to a point where he would increase the effectiveness of the party threefold, while by himself, having spent so much in his role and becoming barely useful would have to be rushed through the game, resorting back to the idea of hammadins, where they would be useless untill rushed to a certain level.

You have to admit that insignificance in pvp can drive you to grind for the most effective items, making teh game boring?
