    The monk will most likely be a great melee class. If it plays sorta close to the assassin I'll be playing a monk.

    The screens are nice. The podcast is boring.

    I like the flat character profile with equipment slots. Never cared for the 3d view of my character in the equipment screen, I can see my character fine in game. Good on them for leaving the vanity mirror to WoW. Maybe I'm just old school...

    The overall information was rather sparse... still, the screens are fun.

    posted a message on Diablo III - More Details
    I like the idea of health globes. Mashing a potion key always felt like a cop out. The globes will offer more randomness to combat/positioning.

    Rather then just... "oh need health" *presses key* "oh need health again" *presses key*

    Health globes may go something like this:

    "oh crap where is a health globe!"
    *frantically looks around*
    "There its!"
    *uses a knockback, fear, leap, etc*
    grabs globe
    "whew"

    There will still be potions for emergency but it is time for something new for healing. I'm happy to try out their new system. I also like the idea of anyone in the party being able to pick it up and help the group.

    Instead of just pressing the same single key to heal, you now may have to:

    search
    move
    use a skill that works for the present battle situation

    I believe Blizzard is spot on.

    Don't care much about not seeing other peoples loot. I didn't mind it in HGL. I think loot whores will be mistakenly upset with this at first.
