Of course we can say whatever we like. But assuming that a spell will be overpowered in PvP 1-2years before the release of a game, when they havent even talked a small bit about PvP except saying that it'll exist, I dont think is a really smart thought.

Anyway, rant about skills in PvP will always exist, I'm just sad that it has to start 1-2years before the game to be released.

I think what Waddlez means is that we have no idea how they'll include the PvP in the game, so in no way you can say that a certain spell is overpowered yet. We'll have more than enough "(Insert spell here) is OP in PvP" threads when the beta starts, so we prefer not to start some of these threads already.

Of course, if this spell behaves the same versus a Player Character(PC) than it does in PvE, it can be troublesome. But we have no idea how it'll be balanced for PvP! Just a quick exemple from WoW(I know, dont compare D3 with WoW, blah blah blah) : The mage's "Polymorph" spell. In PvE, lasts 50(OMFG OVERPOWERED) seconds. Though, on a PvP target, it lasts only a max of 10seconds, and each time it's used on the same target in the following 30secondes, a Diminishing Return applies, reducing the sheep time by half each time, and the 4th time, the target turns immune.

That's a HUGE difference compared to the way it behaves in PvE, and it was needed for a competitive PvP. The same thing happens for fear, stun, etc.

So, if I want to answer in a rude way(I'm not a fan of IQ-based insults, especially on a game forum, but I'm a fan of answering people in the same way that they write a post, so sorry if you don't like it.), I'll say: "So, I'll lower my IQ for you to understand : Wait to see any kind of PvP before to yell that a skill is OP. Oh, you're so smart you can assume things year(s) before a game release."




I'm not saying we can't discuss of a game until it's finished, I'm saying that Blizzard said they are designing the game with PvP in mind, so I trust that they wont release the game with a spell that totally breaks the PvP, without some kind of counter to it for every class, or limitations to the spell to make it PvP-balanced.

ohrly they announced that zomg I had no idea... oh wait... yes I do

and yes it does mean you can't, they have yet to announce what is involved in pvp, if it would even be dueling like the old game

this thread is like the others that make assumptions for an unfinished game
