He uses the staff, its in his hands most of the time.

They also have concept art for fist weapons on the monk page on the Diablo 3 site.

No... when he's using skills it moves to his back.

You can clearly see it on both of them when they use skills. ( I take the part about the wizard back, I just rewatched and she doesn't do it. )

The monk put the staff on his back when he would use skills. I didn't see any vid or pics of him with 1 handed weapons.

Why even bother having the weapon if all you do is put it on your back?

Edit: The Wizard does it too even with 1 handeds, it would appear.

Couldn't help but notice how bloody D3 is now. OH BOY!

The nerds are too embarassed to make a scene

Hunter is my favorite. They're fun to play and god awful boring to level up.

I personally loved preparing for the fights and being overly utilitarian to the point that I practically had a countermeasure for everything.

The only suckage about this class is the learning curve. I had not played WoW in a few years before going back... I attempted to play my hunter and was mothballed, it was so confusing to re-learn everything. I would have spent a few hours just figuring out the basics.

So I rerolled Death Knight, and I have to say that they're pretty fun, I think how they did it was totally off. They should have made Death Knights an achievement rather than a level requirement. Just like the Jedi in Galaxies before they buttfucked that game into its present form. Which would mean that they would be very strong compared to other classes, but few in number... and more... but that's not what you should expect, it's blizzard after all, they want everything accessable.

A lot of great info, lots of reaffirmation, but it seems nobody asked about the mercenary system again. =(

There was no lore on the monk prior to the announcement at Blizzcon yesterday, so no one can tell you that with any basis on the history of Sanctuary.

What about the Hellfire Expansion for Diablo 1, is that monk non-canon?

The reason why politicians do what they do is that voters like being bribed with their own money, because most voters today are rather uneducated about money matters and how increased deficits lead to higher debts, which lead to slower economic recoveries, which can lead to economic collapses.

If people understood the connection between deficits and economic depressions, they'd be pissed.

Two things

A government with anonymous personel would maybe fix that... if you only knew their agenda but never saw their faces.

Economics should be mandatory but it never will because sports is more important than life skills.

Sad world huh? Stand back and observe it as it improves! /sarcasm

I am proponent of choice myself, but as you can see I paid for a choice and I really $paid$ for that choice. We as American's have to come to grips with the cold truth, neither our public or private sector is working now. 40 million uninsured American's in this country is a travesty of failure in itself. Medicaid and medicare are bankrupt, another travesty. Health insurance going from a 100% free employer benefit to a monthly expense rivaling a car payment inside 20 years is damn angering. I say find a solution that works, really works and make it happen.

Is there any difference between private sector and non-profit companies like Blue Shield?

Im glad the grid inventory is back.. now all they need to do is put multiple backpacks in the game.

Ranim absolutely no argument from me on that post, without question there need to be stronger conservation guidelines. Corporations all too often seem to equate environmental responsibility with what is legally required of them. Until the law says so they pay no attention to it. With 7 billion living in a largely industrialized world we can't afford to be acting like we use to. It's angering to see companies who circumvent their obligations by doing their dirt in other countries where laws are not restrictive. McDonald's was one of the worst offenders producing for many years metric tons of polystyrene styrofoam and clear cutting the Amazon to the point where the damage was starkly visible in satellite images.

Well if we can effectively reduce waste by 99% or more we ought to see hope for a better future before we all pass on. That's why I like digital entertainment though. Most of our consumerism is derived from not just the adverts but our desire for culture... We associate culture with physical objects like childhood toys and cars. So if we can eliminate that... we will not only cut down waste, but increase time-tables. Imagine that prospect though, the Internet would practically become the main storyteller of human culture.

If we keep things the way they are we'll have to begin mining the rest of the Sol System in a century.

That's kind of a crazy thought now that I look back at it but what ever... that's what i've got to say =)

We don't have true capitalism today, we have cronyism, our government has been turning into an oligarchy for the last 30 years. Powerful people have stacked the deck in their favor and when they get exposed, honest capitalism gets the blame.

It's the capability of Capitalist countries that creates that vaccume im talking about. As more countries industrialize... more resources are consumed. As the current trends in corporate expansion and general resource use show, we'll basically mine out all metals and deplete other materials. We need to recycle everything or we'll simply kill each other over our needs.

Take a look at the behavior of the US since WW1 and even long before this. We've done it all in the name of preserving our "wants" of life. If we never took on a single ounce of Iron again from another nation or from mines simply because it did not exist in those mines anymore and then we found that a few nations in africa were mining and refining iron into steel and so forth, how do you think we would react? Vietnam had naturally growing rubber when both the Communists and the United States were in a severe rubber shortage (notice that most vehicles in vietnam were tracked.) We all know how that turned out don't we?

My point is that we have to have initatives to manage all the resources. We can argue about it now and for a thousand days from today but regardless the fact is that eventually we'll strip this planet clean of attainable metals and other materials. When that day comes... you'll pay for it with blood. All of us will.

Sut Jhally is the only person I recall who talks about the resource issue. He's more focused on Advertising but he does talk at length about the impact of advertising on resources and the general direction. He's the guy that I got my 70 years till depletion figure from... the rest is from him and other sources. I know there are others who concentrate on the resources factor exclusively though. I just don't know their names.

I hope it all gets a lot worse. a few centuries down the road we'll be better off possibly. Either way we have to say fuck off to capitalism. We simply can't continue on with it. Scientists say we've got roughly 70 years before the planets resources are basically mined.

So then what's the best and worst case scenarios with what Obama is attempting?
