for I have seen what the darkness hides.
Besides, D2 forced you to play as a woman/girl if you chose one of those three classes. Don't you think that's girly? Lulz. Now at least you will be able to pick male characters whichever the class.
And no, purple aint girly. Pink's girly maybe, but purple is awesome evil and mystical.
Purple is still considered more feminine than most other colors. Pink isn't the only girly color, it's just the girliest.
Sure, you can choose a girl, and girls do play, but it's all opinion. Most people I know find it feminine, that doesn't mean it's wrong for a guy to like it. I just don't think I'd enjoy seeing it constantly as a way of showing damage.
Arcane isn't necessarily "evil", so I don't really think that's exactly a reason for choosing purple. Just an art choice. And like I said, I may not like it, but I'll get over it. Not a big problem, especially once I start enjoying the rest of the game.
Arcane is supposed to be somewhat mysterious and abnormal, and its not like this use of purple looks all that girly, to me it looks more ominous, oozing out of creatures and whatnot.
I agree, and it doesn't even appear particularly feminine, I'd consider a light blue or any pink more feminine than dark purple, purple often embodies (to me at least) something hidden or enigmatic. Besides, they couldn't really use any other colour but white or black. Black has it's own characteristics which would make it difficult to implement and white may be used by a future necromancer or necromancer-like character so I think they made at the very least the most logical colour choice.

So, what about magic damage? Does arcane replace it?
I think it IS the magic damage

Anyway, do you really think that Locsut Swarm deal 'deasese' damage because the narrator says 'deasese'? Don't catch the guy's tongue. Do you really think there is going to be desease dmage AND poison damage? That would be completely retarded... he just said 'deasese' once because it fits the Locust's description better than 'poison', that's all. Eitherway; deasese, poison... it's the same concept and it's green! Is that so hard to accept?
Edit: Please... if someone's trolling the best thing to do is not to reply him. Don't make this a flame war.
Now that I think about it Locust Swarm shouldn't deal poison damage. Locust aren't venomous, they just bite off the flesh, so technically shouldn't it be dealing physical damage?

Technically, fire does physical damage too, doesn't it?
I don't think purple is girly. 'Arcane' means something ocult, old, obscure.
Purple (pluss red, black and golden) are all colors that reminds me ocultism, astrology, tarot and such.
However i must agree that a purple bone spirirt would be strange O.o
There's only one previous use of the color purple in a spell in the Diablo series: the spell Baal uses to kill that guy in the opening cinematic of LoD.
Don't know if that helps, but if it's supposed to be the same kind of damage than it makes sence that they color it purple.
I wasn't commenting on their speculation of their discoveries Lethian. I was referring to comments like from Uber Didditz on color, for example.
Can't tell me Mace Windu's purple lightsaber isn't cool.
No no no, Samuel L. Jackson is a BAMF.
Although the lightsaber color to me was a bit feminine, let me direct you to something I already said
"It's an opinion" and "I'll get over it."
It isn't like it's overwhelming in any way, so I don't let it get the best of me and RRRAAAGGGEEEE. I don't get that annoyed over something so insignificant. And I never said the purple necessarily made it gay.
I'm not trying to whine here, just stating my views. Don't be so critical.
I don't remember exactly where I read it, but I do remember reading that Samuel specifically requested a color no one else was using so he would stand out in big battles and be more memorable.

To be fair, his light saber is more pink than purple. WD is using deep, dark purple more leaning to blue than red, and with very little shades of gray.

Sigh...sometimes I think it isn't only the lack of content being released some weeks that causes numbers on this forum to go down unfortunately...
