i always wonder about people who post stuff like lets not talk expansion when the game is not out yet. if you don't wanna talk expansion, why are you in this post?
ooh, i see a heretic fan. i think a heretic type class is very possible because it covers both the look and feel of a paladin with the skills (kinda) of the necromancer and some shapeshifting of the druid.
I would like to see a whip-wielding class. Like a Belmont killing vampires and zombies
And about the Heretic idea. I both like and dislike it. Causing pain is a cool thing in Diablo, but not about having demons traped inside your.
I know the prime evils needed soulstones, but if you gather x amount of demons they should get a bit stronger, no? And there is no more solstones to use.
If its more like an ancient pain-god that grants them the power, fine! Or other things that doesnt involve "having demons inside in your body/soul". Its a concept we already have.
All in all, love the idea! - Demonic forces is cool "outside".
Thanks for the feedback and comments. I think you're right. The whole soul stone thing made it apparent that maybe demons are not the best way to go. Maybe instead of having a "inner demon" they could have some other kind of malevolent, ancient evil creature trapped inside that grants them "demon-like" powers. I was thinking maybe Rakshasas and have the Heretic's ethnicity be a cross between Indian and Middle Eastern - rakshasas being demons from Hindu mythology. Also rakshasas are shape-shifters, hence giving the Heretics various different manifestations and also magic users, hence using the external "demonic" powers.
The whole concept of the Heretic is actually based on the idea I had for the Pain resource system. I think its different enough to actually work in Diablo 3 without really impairing gameplay or straying too far away from the norm.
btw, I would love to see like a beastmaster class or something using whips...
