I do see where your trying to take the idea, Masterim, and I do give you credit for half trying to salvage the idea. However I still believe it to be useless in this scenario:
The Witch Doctor is getting swarmed, he is running out of life real quick and his pets are near dead. He sees a way out accross the room behind a table where the exit way lis leading out to a narrow corridor which would give him a strategical advantage in fighting the mob.
Now the WD has mainly two choices:
1) would be to jump over the table in the center of the room to try to cut off the main part of the mob and make a dash for the exit. (Nice strategic move but just not cool)
2) Use his skill Terrorize and send the mob running in a delirious frenzy which buys him time to skit accross the room, throw a flaming skull of doom near the table to set it ablaze and burn some of his frenzied enemies in the wake and with a few quick strides make it to the exit. (Now thats innovative and cool)
I'm thinking this is what Blizz had intended when they said they devised a number of character skills specificly made for strategic purposes like these. I believe it will add to the gameplay instead of giving the player a one trick pony to run out of tight spots. (Like Teleport from D2)

It's once again a totally pointless thread! Obviously Blizzard will be making boundaries. Doubtfully will be making them as mundane as they were in D2. Most likely will be composed of Cliffs/Mountains due to the new 3D system that they are trying to show off and the vertical upgrade that D3 is getting. It's probably going to be (A la Tristram Dungeons) where you see paths walled with crevasses and lower levels instead of the linear corridors of D1/D2. Gives a new level of realism to the franchise.
Can characters jump? I mean do you really think of this stuff when your sitting at home doing nothing.....? I think you have too much time on your hands. I'll go with Hero on this and NO. The logic of the Barbarian skill would become redundant if all classes could jump around like rabbits. It just doesn't add to the gameplay value and honestly makes WoW look totally retarded when I see players jump around when Dueling.
I've seen jumping in 3D hackNslash on PS2 such as Baldur's Gate, and it was useless. You can't dodge by jumping, and you more often than not end up at the bottom of a cliff dead. So......
