It's like I'm really reading a discussion on the Witch Doctor!

Yap
seems like too nerdy and comic like addition. They should have added something dark or mystical like the necro or assassin was in D2. Its just my opinion, relax.

I'm cool with opinions but you didn't provide one in your first post. Saying that something sucks isn't enough, you need to provide something constructive to an argument or you're just clogging up the interwebs.

Like a necro or an assassin eh? Because that would be way less 'lazy' than coming up with a monk class....

:confused:

Aw, great. Noe I'm getting flamed. Ok, you know guys. Lets just watch and see what comes out of it. I'm not excited about the new class. SORRY!

You don't have to be sorry, you don't like it, you don't like it, the world doesn't need to ass lick everything blizzard does. I don't like the monk either after watching trailer and gameplay videos, but not for the same reasons as you tho.

Rice balls and teriyaki.

Hahahaha. Best post of the thread (in response to whether he would use mana or fury).

I think the monk is the most impressive of all the announced classes so far, I can't wait to play him.

For those of you who don't like him... weep in greater quantities, novices. The monk is a badass and there is no question about it.

Hear, hear.

It's this new generation of internet kids. For some reason they feel like once they're behind an uber-cool screen name (with the year they were born at the end of it of course) it is their god-given right and duty to whine about everything they read. Everything.

thurk, you're actually the one sounding like a kid for posting these posts. I'm just expressing criticism, mostly towards the name for now. The names of classes and how the chars are designed is also important. Because when D3 was announced, almost everyone whine about the ART direction. It plays a big role.

If you ask me, the thought of the monk killing evils or Diablo for that matter with his kung-fu or w/e martial art he's using doesn't make him bad ass, it's making the evil look like pussies.

If you ask ME, better to be killed with Matrix-style than by a toad

I don't get it...:confused:

He's obviously never had a whirlwind kick to the face from Ryu.

A lot of names of things throughout Diablo have hardly been that original. But that didn't mean they weren't still awesome. I mean a lot of classes from D1 to D2 like Warrior, Mage, Sorceress, Barbarian, none of that is very original at all.

But here's the thing. Being original just for the sake of originality is a contrivance. One could get just as easily pissed off if they tried to hard to do everything so original that none of it even made sense. I like that a Monk is something that I have an idea of what he might be about. I have some clue as to what type of class this is. Even lorewise I can already start to imagine what his role might be relative to other classes.

I'm not saying I want to be totally familiar with a class. But I am saying that if the developers try to be as original with just naming something as some of you want them to be, what's the point if the only aim is to sound original? I just don't get it.

Giant demons getting killed by humans makes them look like 'pussies' in the first place.

In Diablo 2 you could kill them with little spiraling hammers, druids who turn into wolves/bears, an assassin doing jump kicks. Is that really better or more 'realistic' than a super fast monk smacking you around with his staff?

If you guys hate it so much, why post here? Why buy the game? Just go away because they sure as hell are not going to change it for you.

We waited like 6 months for a new char class with virtually NO updates, just two or three art works updates to the blizzard's diablo 3 site. All this time to get a "monk". It took them 6 months, maybe more, to come up with that sh**y design and name. Great

Quote from "Kwic" »

Heh. Matrix-style = our Monk.
And who has the toads if not our Witch Doctor?

I hope it's clearer now.



Ryu wasn't that good Chuck Norris was better if you ask me.

The Witch Doctor is being called the toad now ? Did not know that... And i will continue to do as so.

I honestly don't see how people are complaining about a guy who creates blood supernovas.

Oh wait, yes I do. This happens with pretty much everything announced for every D3 related thing. Ever.

Unreal. You are still obsessed with the name. But I think this is the first time you've said anything about the design. So what is it about the design you do not like?

Quote from "mvm199" »

This is the best class ever. It is epic. It feels so powerful, and I havent even played it yet!

I hope those negative people who shot him down before even seeing any footage have something else to say now ...

The barbarian feels powerful. I bet the monk will be squashed by him. Nothing survives a true barb whirlwind.

Looks way similar to the original design of the witch doctor.... all colorful and shiny.

Quote from "Kwic" »

Lol. What I meant was that he has a spell that summons toads. That's why I said that it's better to be killed with Matrix-style which is presented by Monk, than by one of Witch Doctor's toads.

Is it clearer now? ^^'

Yeah it is, was it so complicated to put it that way the first time, jeez. Not that i agree or anything.

Oh, I get it.

You're one of those unpleasable fans who wants everything to be grimdark with no rainbows, and gritty filtering... :confused:

You act like D2 had original names.

If you got off your ass and looked at the gameplay video you'd realize that he is nothing like the witchdoctor

7/10, well played, you had me going for a little while

First, if you knew the lore of diablo just a little bit you'd know why humans can kill demons.

Second, a werewolf/bear might just be a little more dangerous then some dude who knows karate, unless you're Chuck Norris. And i never said anything about "realistic" so i don't know where you're going with that, hell i don't even think that you do yourself.

Third, we post here because that's what forums are for either it's complain or acclaim something. Why i will buy the game ? Because I liked Diablo 1 and 2, it's not because somone doesn't like 1 or 2 class that he can't get the game.

Now you you failled on pretty much every level that there was to fail here, so maybe it's you who should go away, get some rest before you come here post some stupid crap like that.
