It's slightly outside of melee range. But you need to itemize to use spectral blade as well. That is a move I wouldn't be surprised to see Great Sword Wizards running around spamming. It does 30% weapon damage 3 times per cast. With a little dinky wand the normal attack might do more damage tbh lol.
I'm still going to stick to my original plan. Maybe I'll use Shock Pulse until I get Hydra and Storm Armor though. Maybe even Magic Missile if I can rune it for AOE damage.
I just want Hydra though, always been my favorite spell in every game lol. I want to experiment rune combinations for hydra mainly.
I believe some abilities may actually factor in attack speed. Maybe not a whole lot for the Wizard or Witch Doctor, but maybe a few. Such as how the monk works with some of his abilities. His skills don't even use the animation of his weapons, but are greatly effected by them.
Casting Speed probably won't even be a possible suffix on a great axe or a long sword. There are many such ways to limit what weapons you want to aim for per class. I don't believe the game will be so one dimensional in the end, but maybe you might come across such times where your using a axe instead of a wand for that reason. But just until you find a wand that's much better.
Resource suffix' might be a possible limitation as well. What if the resource buffs don't carry over to translate to other classes. That would make a huge gap in what weapons you want in the end.
Its easier to make a game for casuals because it encompasses what everyone wants. Tailoring to only people who play all the time actually creates huge problems with the game for daily living.
Casual as stated far above does not mean easy as well. It just means giving people who don't play at least 20 hours a week, a chance to get good items and catch up with other people who beat normal difficulty. Often people who play casually still complete all the content of the game, just at a much slower pace.
Honestly its not even a game style, its just common sense on how to create a game. You don't want a game like WoW where once you commit to playing, you lose 8 hours of your day automatically after all.
In the end, a game made for casual people can be just as enjoyable for hardcore players as well. Giving hardcore players better loot and things like that will eventually lose the skill aspect of the game as well. Completely overpowering other players isn't really fun for both sides after all. The idea I believe blizzard is shooting for, is two people who beat the game and are around the same level. Should stand roughly an even chance in PvP. But perhaps someone who completes Act 1 Nightmare. Would just blow away people who only completed normal difficulty, but probably not so extreme as that lol.
I actually wanted a rouge but i believe the demon hunter is a great substitute lol
I also want a druid for the reason that, the barbarians and druids had a kind of side story that they could expand on
I would like to see them include druids in an exp, and make special acts or story arcs that includes this
i believe the fact that it limits the possible decisions is what makes it more interesting
i myself would actually prefer a 3 player cap instead
you could still play LAN type setup games (over internet but in same room)
you just play in groups
anyway the idea of picking 4 class choices and not being able to have 1 of each class expands the strategy of what you want in your party
doesnt even have to be 1 of each
could be something like 2 barbarians, a wizard, and a demon hunter
so i believe the players in game being low is a good thing, so you dont join games whereas you do pretty much nothing cuz your other party members could kill them before you could (more in games with 6 players than with games with like 3 or 4)
i used scythes on them sometimes in d2
some of the scythe weapons can get pretty retardly strong and be used through all of normal and nightmare
hard to find them though
so for this game i kinda hope they balance the weapon styles out more so there is no strongest weapon type
so you can pick anything and still be just as strong as someone who picked another weapon type
the differences are just in how that weapon is strong rather than some type of sword being the strongest or something =3
also hoping 2 handed axes to be used as 1 handed =3 (though that prob wont happen xD axes are heavy)

that is also the only downside i see the most newer blizzard games
is the lack of LAN
not a whole lot of games do support mods at all
its just ppl find a way to make mods work
in a sense, mods are a form of hacking
so this has no bearing on mods other than no LAN support

i looks actually kinda horrible xD
horrible as in when you change nothing from diablo 2 and just add different areas
the game is gonna end up outdated before it even is released xD
Be my Buddy =^.^=
Be my Buddy =^.^=
he'd probaly get a ton of changes from 2
so i dont care if they add him or not
if they did they'd make enough changes to where it would fit
but i think the new classes are all original enough to where i could go without the necromancer being playable
Be my Buddy =^.^=
the power rune reduced the cooldown to like 2 seconds, plus turned it into a damaging spell too
i wonder if they still have that in there lol
