"Azurewrath is a sword that was created by the Archangel Tyrael. It was wielded by Izual, a lieutenant of Tyrael during an ill-fated assault on the Hellforge to delay the forging of the demonblade Shadowfang.

Afterward it began sending visions of ancient prophecies to a mortal, Jacob, which would lead him to the sword and Tyrael."


That is what is on the wiki anyway.

I swear the lore stated that Izual took up Tyraels sword Azurewrath not that it was Izuals. Well according to the wiki anyway, it is Azurewrath in the comic.

yeah, it looks interface wise like it was 2010 blizzcon now that I look at it. But I still hadn't seen it before.

worked fine for me

btw, for some reason it keeps going for 8 minutes or so, but there is only 4:25 of footage.

we are all quite familiar with what the catacombs and monastery levels and such looked like in D2.

Here is a video I haven't seen on this site yet, of characters running through the "Torture Chambers of the Mad King"

Watch, enjoy, and imagine what running through the monastery would be like if it looked like this.

The max level 85 doesn't include throne of destruction. I think that was just referencing straight D2. I want to say Baal on Hell was higher then 85.... anyway. Venator: The idea behind Inferno is that it is all a flat difficulty. Meaning that Act 1 inferno is just as difficult as Act 4 inferno. I imagine the majority of the difficulty difference between monsters will be the amount of abilities they have. There may be some level variation, but I would imagine Inferno Diablo is probably level 65 absolute max in a solo game. Now depending on how scaling works, he could be level 75 or 80 in a 4 player game...though I doubt it would be that high. While inferno will be hard to solo, I don't have any fears of a level 61 fallen 1 hitting me. seriously at that level, 1 level advantage on a cannon fodder will not suddenly make them a huge threat. Now, a pack/horde of fallen at level 61 would be a much bigger threat, but I think a solo lvl 60 could handle it. A group of Unburied/hundred pounders or the skeleton king surrounded by a bunch of skeletons would be a bit more difficult. But I would imagine still doable.

Otherwise you have the Raid idea from MMOs start up. I can see it now "Need full group for inferno run" messages everywhere. You will be able to solo, it will be hard, and whenever someone joins your game it will scale even harder.

II would imagine you would have to play through. I still say if the scaling works, you should be able to have a challenge solo or in a group o 2,3,4.

As long as they stick with the idea of avoiding cheap difficulty i am good. No 4 immunes or iron maiden. I think you will be able to solo hell. Jay has said they want to encourage party play, but not deter those who prefer to solo. I think inferno might require partying to an extent, but I don't think it will be impossible to solo.

my understanding is that it is supposed to be the Azurewrath, which Tyreal had already lost prior to D2 and is a phaseblade I believe.

i think it somewhat depends on the class and the passive in question. Barbs have a passive that increases deg by 200%

it isn't the barn from D2 anymore, maybe, probably, possibly

At the q&a 2 weeks ago, it sounded like one of the guys was expecting to really show some of the siege of Bastians keep. Then that never happened. I am thinking maybe we see some footage of that this time. But then again maybe not.

It's in the g4tv spoiler interview I believe

I too have seen the 4-6 hour comment. It makes sense. How long did it take you to get to say the smith in act1 1st time without appoints or tp. Plus, the radomization and random events will all be in in order to test the effects on the servers. 4-6 hrs makes perfect sense.

sorry posted from my Droid as I can't access site at work so that was why no link
