Tyrael might be condemned to live as a mortal, thus why he appears as a human without his armor on.

Fury is gonna be the choice you'll want for bosses, Bash is more of a CC burst kinda skill... mostly used on those mobs that can burst you quickly.

It's like comparing a Axe to a Chainsaw, the Axe can cut deeper with a single swing and would be better for small branches but the Chainsaw will cut through the trunk of the tree faster than the Axe.

If you don't see mine I don't wanna play with you....

so you started competitive gaming at 6 years old? R U Korean?

fail... EVERYONE knows that Diablo has 5 spikes on his tail... not 4....


aside from that I hope you dont mind me using this as my background image

Every Hero needs a sidekick, I hope you can name them.... I'll have a Enchantress called Sooki, cuz she is MINE!

I'm going to name my templar Eric Northman and he is going to have happy time with your enchantress

I think they put followers in d3 so that a heap of d2 players wouldn't qq

I think they gave us followers so that we can have RP relationship plot-lines. Mostly involving nocturnal bi-sexual immortals. I'M SO EXCITED!

honestly I think they are fine as is... if you need more precision take that if you don't then take the dmg... 1% dps increase is very minimal when you consider situational combat. It's not like WoW wear 1% more dps over the coarse of a 10 minute boss fight will make or break the encounter... In Diablo it's not a dps race, it's about playing smart and efficiently.

Quote from WishedHeHadBeta

you really have no argument, your just one of those people saying "stop speculating! QQ rage rage". in diablo a class is only good as his skills without gear, obviously. and looking at all skills for all classes you can deduce that the WD is by far the easiest, not just for his ranged skills but because of all of his CC's and minions. the difficulty of inferno is pretty much irrelevant entirely in this argument. because even if the monsters are crazy smart and hit super hard the WD still trumps the classes in survivability according to his skill set. because if inferno monsters hit so hard that the minions die, you'll pretty much insta die as melee and die much faster as wizard/DH without minions, STILL making the WD better at surviving.

Have you played D2? Have you seen how beastly melee can be? If anything Necros ans Sorcs were a joke... ya you have alot on minions.... but a kicksin could telekick you in the junk and your dead... there is alot to consider when comparing ranged summoners and melee... Blizz won't just send melee in with no survivability skills... I honestly think Monks and Barbs are gonna be tanky as shit and most likely be highly requested as teamates in Hell/Inferno.

If Blizz wanted to make a crazy OP class they woulda gave us Deathknights...

Simple statements often come from simple minds

Hope some of you guys enjoy this =)

I tried to upload few pictures but they never seem to make them public, so I gave up
It's not like I'm using porn pictures for background, they are Diablo 3 themed as well as my cute puppy that should be a pet in game

No number can explain how excited i am. I've probably never been this excited for a game before. I torture myself with trailers, teasers, making builds and all that kind of stuff getting more and more impatient each day. Im trying to get the the time going by playing other games but i just give up after 15 min cause its not Diablo 3 i really need 15th to come NOW!

I am quite disappointed by the healthiness of this thread.

You need some bottled water in there!

And it depends on how hardcore you are. If you are REALLY hardcore you'd have a toilet installed in the room for le' poop time.

Not sure if this is spoiler-ish or not:

In the beta when we encounter the treasure goblin, the lore states that there are rumours that the portal the treasure goblin escapes through leads to a place where there is a demon-lord called greed. I have a feeling that the secret level will involve trying to create a portal for us to get through where we encounter many goblins and the demon greed.

I feel sorry for all those who didn't try the Witch Doctor. I was expecting him to be last on my list but I am 90% close to switching him to my starting hero. He is hands down the most powerful in the beta, easily reaching over 80 DPS even without good items. This is because of "soul harvest", where he gets ~32 int x 5 whenever he casts it. This increases his primary stat, int, from about 60 to 220.

Can the barb increase his STR to 220? Can the DH increase her DEXT to 220 in the beta? Nope

Other than pure killing power, I found the WD abilities themselves to be extremely fun to use. The runed firebats just decimated everything and was very satisfying. The Wizard seemed boring in contrast.

TL:DR you shoulda tried the WD! I was pleasantly surprised.

1.Barbarian
2. Demon Hunter
3. Monk
4. Witch Doctor
5. Wizard

That's my initial impression from playing each class at least to lvl 9 and killing SK.

That said gaining even 1 new skill can rapidly change how a class function and/or how effective it is.

The wizard for instance was just making me go yawn and then I got diamond skin and every thing changed. Just from that one skill.

The witch doctor was highly effective so my rating doesn't have anything to do with his performance. I just didn't really like the abilities I had access to up to lvl 9. I know almost for sure that opinion will change with access to more skills and passives.

Overall I felt all the classes felt quite balanced with their differing playstyles.

1. Demon Hunter
2. Witch Doctor
3. Barbarian
4. Monk
5. Wizard

DH and WD by far. I prefer ranged type of characters in any game, but yes I have listed Wizard last.

DH - Awesome! Ranged dps, lots of CC and "GTFO!" utility, and just brilliantly drawn and scripted! I can't wait for release!

WD - Awesome again! Ranged dps, minions work great for diverting fast mobs, and when the jar of green spiders becomes black spiders, that is TOO FRICKEN COOL!

Barbarian - D-E-S-T-R-O-Y-!-!-! Need I say more? This guy is just FUN! In terms of my opinion of his viability, I can't really say. I just know I love beating things to death with him!

Monk - Melee dps. Not really a fan, but the little bit I played of him seems ok. He just doesn't have the visceral feeling that the Barb does.

Wizard - Everything is unremarkable so far (in beta). I'm really intrigued by the Slow Time spell and its possible OP'ness, but there just isn't enough in the beta to grab me with this character.

*edit*

Hooray for 100 posts!

I dunno I kind of liked having a dude fight with me back in D2, it brought a whole new level of bro-time in the game.

Not only that but now D3 followers are more viable and have a decent/interesting backstory I guarantee I will have alot of fun killing demons with my bro-follower.

Bro-time with your bro-follower, that's awesome!
