Official Blizzard Quote:
Diablo: Every fire explosion the FX guys create is the best fire explosion we’ve ever had in the game. I think they’ve got a competition going.
As for the Wizard, they have no fire skills. They have Arcane, Lightning, and Cold, but as of now we've yet to see any fire skills used by the Wizard. I highly doubt the Barbarian will have many explosive skills, however the Monk may have a couple up his sleeves.
Now, if the FX team is doing so much work on flaming explosions, we have to ask, where are these going to fit in?
Of course, they could be doing work on skills used by monsters (remember the Catapult back in Lord of Destruction?), or perhaps some traps. However, my money is on this becoming a significant part of the fifth class. Right now, the majority of people speculate the fifth class to be some form of ranged class. Thus, if we look back upon Diablo II, we already have a ranged class who used fire, being the Amazon. She even had a skill called Exploding Arrow, which was followed by Immolation Arrow, both ranged fire skills that featured an explosive animation.
Now, I'm not suggesting they're going to recycle the skills from the Amazon, but right now, I would put money on the fifth class featuring some wicked looking explosions.
Explosions are always good. I think if the last class used some sort of mechanical traps, explosions would be fun and everywhere.
Y'know what I'm sayin'?
So, is it at all possible that the 5th class is in fact a demon?
while it does make sense, i believe that some new skills that include fire explosions are being developed for the fifth class too.
i always thought of the final class to be a bow archetype with some traps. so a fire explosion arrow and a fire trap would make perfect sense to me.
that, or they're fine tuning the effects of every fiery explosion to make sure all of them are equally spectacular (which also would make perfect sense, since all of the Blizzard games get some graphics luv before release).
effects can be the last to be added. first you need to make sure the game is actually working. if they started working on making the effects look better, it wont be long till alpha and god help us (to get in) beta.
if the final character is fully playable at Blizzcon we will all have one more reason to hope it wont be long till we finally get closer to release!
I doubt they'd bring the Amazon back; she's been played to death I'm sure.
perhaps you should go somewhere quiet to facepalm and let those who wish to talk about anything, talk. your post is neither constructive nor polite. smells like a troll.
This entire forum is lacking in anything constructive about D3.
I'm sick of everything pointless, or people making complete jokes out of their posts. But they do it anyway. Which means I'll say what I think when I want to.
