Anyone think that the assassin that killed Isendra is the one from D2? I mean, who else could kill the sorceress who whipped Diablo and the other evils. Can't believe she's dead. Doesn't that mean she is not making an appearence in D3?
Yeah but, it seems a bit strange to me that the sorceress from D2 wasn't more powerful. If the D3 wizard really is some super prodigy, then all magic users from before would just be so weak in comparison.
They can have class crossover. I was thinking about it before, and they could have similar classes with different resource systems or different classes with the same resource systems.
Example: the assassin would be a monk/DH cross with fast paced melee combos and traps, with an AP style resource system for fast paced trap setting (more offensive rather than defensive) and no resource orb for melee skills but rather main melee skills that accrued combo points upto 10 (arbitrary number) with larger skills that ate these combo points, so you can't lay down your massively powerful moves without doing a bit of fighting first.
see I thought that up in about 2 minutes, so there is plenty of room for creativity.
So I just read the wizard short story, which is told through the view of the wizard's vizjerei master talking to what is revealed to be an assassin in the final page of the story. That gives the order of assassins two links to the current classes of diablo 3 at least.
Natalya was an assassin who disappears without notice in the middle of the events occurring around kurast. Judging by how she looks, and the fact that her set now belongs to the demon hunter, It's pretty fair to say that she changed her ways and became a demon hunter.
Now we know that the assassins were created in order to take out those mages who would consider themselves would-be wizards in order to stop them from causing too much destruction to the balance of the world (regardless of their intent), and they have now been re-tasked with dealing with this new wizard (our hero).
Is this just a cool detail of the short story, or do you think it will have any future implications?
