I think it's going to be best having a balanced squad, looking forward to running my Bard around with a witch doctor or vice versa having a bard there to tank with someone else to spread the combat and provide some extra targets and slow enemies will be a great way to deal with enemies.
Also regarding that rush to inferno, good luck with that, looking at the monster HP/Damage on inferno, you are going to have to get to a point where you can one hit monsters on hell before you can tackle inferno... and that is just to be able to hurt things and last longer than a couple of hits.
I'm not sure if i will see inferno at least this year, seems like you will have to grind hell for like forever, unless you have the cash to burn on RMAH... and i dare say that is the plan.
I think the Wiz, will be a nice change from the way the Sorc dominated in D2.
I think alot of people are still into the thinking that ranged classes and one skill (ie.monks) are going to be the key to taking on inferno, it's like they aren't listening to what the Devs have been saying all along.
they have specifically focused on making it challenging and making you try really hard to kill stuff slowly... i.e. if you are ranged and or dying often, you are not going to win any battles.... I am also certain that NDE will be more of an 'out' in earlier difficulties and merely a time waster in Hell/inferno difficulties, certainly Blizz won't make it so that 1 skill can be the game changer.
also i read somewhere an absurd amount of life steal from just one weapon i'm pretty sure it was in the vacinity of 8K per hit, i doubt you could do that on D2 at any stage.
Wizard, ever since seeing the class reveal trailer and still standing.
I always preferred the 'classic caster' archetype.
LOl my friends are all like that too everyone seems to like the range especially after the dominance of the sorc in D2, that's why i am going Barb unlike op my friends actually need a tank.
Also re: the ranged being better for Inferno, that's b.s. anyone who has listened to the interviews? there are walls and canoneer abilities designed especially to prevent ranged pussyness so think again.
That only applies if you're using an area ability like Cleave. Generally your weapons don't increase the range of AoE abilities, which have a fixed range e.g. 12 yards. And it makes 0 difference for single target abilities.
Yea but even in target attacks you have a range of 2 yards as opposed to one for the one handed axe, presuming you can't dual wield 2 handed weapons... with the extra range there's less chance of the demons running too. and unless there is a fury*type skill one handers won't have that speed benefit to chase things.
but yea, damn straight i'm using cleave! swing away jack!
Yea but 2 handers have a better range and using some skills you could technically slash up to 10 enemies where with little hatchets and other kids weapons you are limited to around 3, though obviously smaller weapons are faster, the big guns do more area damage.
Monk. Hands down. Then wiz. Those who say DH are clearly huge dorks that jerk off to anime porn. What does it for you, their hood that covers their whole head or those glowing demonic eyes?
I lolled, Monk has short blond hair looks too boyish.
Demon Hunter has banging body and dark features, better fashion sense. hawt imo.
I would say that DII was closer to DI than DIII, and DIII is closer to DII than it is to DI. That doesn't make any game bad, or any less of a sequel or continuation of the Diablo line though.
i lol'd
whoever said Diablo 2 looked worse than Diablo 1, when was the last time you played it? Diablo 2 was a slick as hell looking game in it's day, the only thing that really trumped it from the original in my opinion was the score, and yea the Dungeon was darker in D1 but there was only one dungeon.
I think the thing to remember is, the events that have shown so far for the most part are revolving around Tristram, which is of course famous because of the things that happened in the original Diablo. So it would look that way, they know what they are doing with story telling though, Baal was almost the first person you see in Diablo 2 and never actually turns up until the very end... I think that Diablo 2 was an exceptional sequel, and Diablo 3 will be too, but if you think you can relate Diablo straight to Diablo 3 you have to have a pretty good imagination... well maybe, if Diablo 3 finished at the skeleton king.
I can't see how it could fail, they set themselves in a good position with this plan since ebay stopped selling. now they get micro transactions... from every single transfer, i dare say they had some top analysts look into this. But yes it won't fail, how successful it will be is yet to be seen though, i am just thankful that sweatshops in China won't be selling on the US RMAH.
I can't really say that i hate MMO's, the only reason i am against Diablo being turned into n outright MMO is it moulding into a WOW skin thanks to WOW's financial success... Diablo is definitely still it's own beast for the time being.
Diablo 3 is not an MMO ....
You dont pay a monthly fee,
You can have more than one of the same name on the Server
IT DOESNT FOLLOW the standard MMO recipee. The Chat is not a major function of the game, an MMO is a glorified chat room.
It looks like WOW only because thats the style Blizzard goes for in its games. I played WOW and I don't see anything resembling rather than the way the art is rendered.
The only reason for the internet connection is for DMR and RMAH purposes only...
why do people still think its an MMO when they have stated themselves its not....
Actually interacting with other players through chat, using your skills to heal, buff them and debuff other mobs, trading with them, pvping with them makes this a MMO game.
Whoever doesnt think Diablo 3 is a MMO either works in marketing or has their head in the sand.
Huskers, note, i said Diablo was still it's own beast for the time being... I didn't say that Diablo 3 was an MMO at all, just stating i fear the Diablo series heading there.
Played Diablo 1 from release, even online. Good times... I remember the first public game I entered, immediately got dropped the heavenly armor set from someone who duped it ;D And the fountain was surrounded by pools of money.
Haha remember cycling my old Pentium 200 to a mates house 14kms(yep metric you filthy imperials) just to ip/link Diablo, did the same with Diablo 2 in high school, ah the good old days living in the country.
