The fact that there's 2 minute cooldown is really really really disapointing. With a 2 minute cooldown it better be like a F'ing nuke. Two minute cooldowns are just such a bad idea for Diablo. People will only use it for "special" occasions (at least that's how I'll play) and the skill will rarely get used. I'd rather just have the same spell, weakened, and have it be a 10-15 second cooldown -- that way I could use it in nearly every encounter; and really use the skill and have in a regular rotation, or use it as an opener. I just think that these "2 minute" skills will just be an *oh sh!t* skill that people use when they are about to die ... lame, just lame.
lol are you kidding me? You don't know yet how it will work! Nobody outside Blizzard knows how this will turn out yet so why don't you just quit your silly whining and start to use that brain of yours in better ways...
Just think about it this way, what if say the skill would last for a 1 minute and then the cooldown would really only be 1 minute instead and if you augment it you could reduce it even more.
Okay? So if you want to go there, then you neither can you say for a fact that I'm wrong. It's my opinion, and I've supported my opinion beyond that post. If you don't like it... well you don't have too, and I don't care. You call it "whining" I call it a discussion.
From your point of view, none of us know anything about how D3 will turn out, so why talk about it at all? Hmmm... because this is a forum, and that's what we do. Stop being a troll.
I just checked out the tier 7 skills on the wiki, and almost all of them look like they would work well with a long cooldown. As for just how long, that depends on how Blizz paces the game, which is something I have had no chance to test.
So, I like the long cooldowns. Also, I am sure if Blizz finds out that people aren't using the skills (because the damage isn't worth the cooldown, or because they are saving it for something special when they should be using it), then they can easily decrease said cooldown.
is it a 2 minute cool down for all classes? because if a monk should have a combination that builds up to an ultimate skill they wouldn't have cool downs right? or no? if that is the case are they op compared to other classes in this regard?
I'm sure each class will have their own ways of balancing skill use. Some may be resource heavy, or some may require a combo first. Either way, I am glad they are finding ways to avoid everyone picking all of the top skills.

this is my guess: just as whirl wind was the ultimate for a barb of lvl 30 in d2. It will also remain a powerful spell in d3, but something like earthquake, call of the ancients, or wrath will be a super ultimate. it doesn't take anything away from the game by having a 2min cool down. it adds much more. it makes that skill priceless in a way. somethign to be earned.
It would be "something to be earned" regardless of a cooldown. Just because you get punished for using it does not make it anything better than what it is. I don't see a problem with cooldowns as long as they're not tailored to fit an MMORPG and not an ARPG. That said, I'm not playing the Barbarian, so I don't really care.
As I've stated, I agree with the cool downs, and I am indeed playing a Barb. To bring some good points floating around together, every class will have "Spam-able" skills, "Nuke" skills, and some in between. This allows for multiple good things to happen.
1. Opens more builds: By forming these three groups of skills, you open the possibility for much more diverse builds.
2. Adds immersion to each class: In D2 almost all builds relied on 1-3 attacks, maybe 1-2 buff skills. in D3 these, "Punishments" for using these powerful skills, forces players to think out their class beyond two main skills.
3. Allows for more contrast graphics variations: Spam-able skills are likely to pale in comparison to these top-tier skills graphics wise. Because they can only happen so often, they can be larger, and feel more epic.

It really is a well-known proven fact that on the web poker web-sites use algorithms to regulate the random era of poker palms. That reality has prompted several gamers to issue the veracity and accuracy of real statistical odds in Texas holdem web sites. On the other hand, there are methods to beat the poker algorithms as this article will reveal.
Some will question why does the worst hand win on online poker, primarily immediately after obtaining a negative beat. Having said that, the truth is not really the worst poker hand generally wins, in reality which the online-poker algorithms are created to produce a deterministic consequence in accordance to normalized odds.
Poker Stats
What that generally suggests is that the statistical norms for any poker hand must be taken care of to be able for the recreation to seem honest. By way of example within a seven card game such as Texas Holdem (2 hole cards and five cards within the neighborhood board), you can find a complete of 133,784,560 probable combos which will be built. (Even though holdem only works by using the top 5 cards, seven cards can be obtained to make up the very best five card hand. Therefore, the statistical possibilities are derived from all 7 cards).
With the 133,784,560 combos, a flush will statistically be dealt out four,047,644 instances, (or three.025494% on the time). As a result, in an effort to show up random, the web poker algorithms will make sure across all poker tables above time, a flush will definitely come about three.025494% of the time. Notwithstanding the actual fact the flush could essentially take place twenty or thirty occasions consecutively at your poker table, providing the long-term statistical odds are preserved.
Poker Terrible Beats
Because of this, you could possibly witness too many suckouts in on line poker and also become a victim of the bad conquer. The very fact is usually that true randomness is unattainable in the laptop or computer generated game such as online-poker and added poker algorithms ended up set in position to take care of an air of integrity and randomness. Though it can be unfair that poker sites are making use of these poker codes for making the sport look truthful and subsequently make a sizable variety of terrible beats, there exists a solution that enables you to do one thing about this.
That answer would be to understand how the web poker algorithms operate and just how it is possible to possibly avoid a poker lousy conquer. Because the poker website will need to maintain statistically normalized odds through the use of algorithms, you need to use all those identical odds to prevent dropping.
