what class do you want to see in this?

[punwisp]

I'm personaly wanting to see the barbarian but hes already gonna be in it I'll post the current classes and the diablo classes

 

[lnfernal]

Necromancer, I know there will be a hybrid / witch doctor. But I like the summon necromancer.

40 summons, and Enigma teleport right on your target = owned

 

[Gilles]

Druid. I really loved that class and don't want to see it gone. Assassin was another favorite.

either Hunter or Ranger or something in that direction

 

[cheesdude]

Right now we need a pure mage. Sure WD has some great spells, but i feel like the sorc from D2 or something similar is a necessity.

 

[Eccho]

Yeah I stick to cheesdudes post. But I guess it will be 3 melee and 2 ranged, so it will probably be something like a ranger instead, since Witch Doctor seems magic enough for me. For instance he has fireball, and well maybe he is a tribryd(?) between necro, druid and sorceress.

Meh, an OP class can be left out imo.

A sorc type hero will be in there, don't worry. Every RPG has them.

 

[Arvedui]

Paladin.
No ifs ands or buts.

 

[Archian]

Hmm, I dont think Amazons will be there.
Considering they're all females

But hell I'm looking forward to see a Wizard or Sorceress.
Just look at the current spells for Witch Doctor and Barbarian.
Imagine the spells for a true magician

Well, there will be 5 classes to choose from... I'm thinking expansion at some point

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Im looking forward to see more of those NOT cliche classes. Now barbarian is the fight, and clearly the witch doctor is the summoner... I hope there will be more unique classes just like the witch doctor...

 

[cheesdude]

I want to see something like the Iron Wolves from Diablo 2. They can take the role of light melee and mage.

 

[brad.dude03]

Give me Assassin and give me it now.

 

[cheesdude]

What was so great about assasins anyway?

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Bring on the Alchemist =D

 

[punwisp]

traps, speediness, and the fact they were awesome melee heroes

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Necromancer, MASS SKELETON!

Blizzard wouldn't dream of making a game without expansions. I bet you they'll have an expansion practically done before the game is released.

I want to seem some original classes too. Maybe a non-human class?! :O
Some sort of animal! The Lizard guy and Tiger man from Champions of Norrath 2 were awesome.

 

[Archian]

That would kinda ruin the whole "mortal mans triumph" thing they got going on.

 

[cheesdude]

He's right..

And good luck walking around caldeum as a lizard without every guard in the city tyring to cut your head off.

Off topic: Oooh my shiny eggs are ready to hatch!

 

[Direfury]

Well in the other D3 thread I suggested the Concoctor, no need to buy potions, just collect items to make potions or get your mana high enough to instantly fill empty vials of create potions out of the air AND use spells to knock back all enemy units in a small AOE, dealing a bit of damage to them too.

But anyways, I loved having my Nec around, Humongous Axe, Angelic Halos, Coif of Glory, Treads of Cthon, Ichorsting Crossbow, Rogues Bow, The Jade Tan Do (x2), The Diggler, "Scourge Bane" Ancient Armor. Awesome weapons, godly melee, for a Nec.

 

[cheesdude]

"Scourge bane" for Necromancer.

Don't you love irony?

Sorry but there won't be mana or HP potions in D3 they said it in the game play video, when u kill someone they drop a blue orb for mana and a red one for health.

spell tabs like in WoW will be in place of the pot belts

 

[Direfury]

Well hey, there were throwing potions before, they could just use those and force you to keep pots in your inventory. God I hope they bring back the Horadric Cube.

 

[Eccho]

They would most likely have some kind of health/mana pot system.
Playing with other online otherwise would be too imbalanced and unfair.

Unless they create x amount of orbs equal to each player.. rofl

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Why do you guys want the old milked-out classes in this? Its fucking diablo 3 and it better be damn good. So no cliche-classes please!

 

[cheesdude]

How about the Dominatrix class?

 

[punwisp]

How about instead of pretending like theres pots, watch the game play video, theres no mana or health pots, not pot belts, and No it wouldnt be imbalanced.

 

[cheesdude]

And how sir, do you justify that?

 

[punwisp]

Explain how it would imbalance things anyway? In my perspective potions make things imbalanced. PVP matches between players, you need skill, people can win just by drinking a healing potion.

Now, seeing this won't be like diablo 2, tell me how it would imbalance things?? Using potions would be technically unfair, not using potions requires you to use skill to survive. Orbs are perfect for role playing, you kil monsters, you get mana and health orbs, thats fair. Otherwise all you need is a big belt and buy powerful healing potions and youll never die.

Even in WoW, potions are considered unfair on a lot of servers, because in long battles, when someone is about to kill someone, and they both havbe low health, the opposing player can be cheap and use a potion and kill the other player. It isn't fair. True PvP is using skills to win, not potions. There shouldn't be pots in this anyway, there getting too old and relied on. the orb method works fine in role playing.


I still find it extremely funny how some of you think its balanced to use health potions but its "very" imbalanced to not using potions and use orbs? Lol seems pretty backwards to me, the logic in thinking of that is just horrid

 

[cheesdude]

Potions are a "service" available to players which may help decide the outcome of the battle. You are right. However, your logic fails because potions are such a common thing, both in diablo and WoW. everyone has them, everyone uses them. I've played both games and from personal experience can tell that potions are very common in duels. You will rarely be pitted against a player who isn't as prepared as you are.

 

[StasMaN]

I can't wait for the necromancer ;D

 

[cheesdude]

Sadly, the chances of necromancer making it into the game are close to 0.

 

[The Last Istari]

Death Knights.

They're not Warcraft only you know!

 

[frostwhisper]

Oh yah. Jewelcrafting class ftw. All you do is stay in towns all day, giving little enchanted medallions to the other classes.

 

[busterkomo]

Paladins would make my dream come true, I still remember when I was ranked 9th on US East. Also, it fits with the lore fine, because there was a female paladin in Act 2.

 

[StasMaN]

Are you sure ? OMG , blizzard are crazy !!! Necromancers are the most important units in all of blizzard's games :/

 

[frostwhisper]

I believe Blizz announced the return of the necromongers... mancers, sorry.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I don't want to see old classes in this! Why? I want new classes. Don't you guys want fresh new unique classes? =/

 

[Arvedui]

I believe Blizz announced the return of the necromongers... mancers, sorry.

Where do they say that? Just want to know if I missed something.

@The_wand_mirror, I agree, some new classes would be very nice. Or at least completely different abilities for the classes.

 

[frostwhisper]

Dunno where they said it, really. I just read it somewhere (either here, or w3c).

 

[Maedh]

No they didnt say that, they just said that just because the WD is in, dosent mean the NM is out...

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing a Shape Shifter/Wizard Hybrid.

100th POST!

 

[frostwhisper]

Well... the druid shape-shifts. And having wizards that shape-shift into glowy energy things wouldn't really go well with the whole dark theme people are constantly crying about.

 

[cheesdude]

This was in the Caldeum city info thing on the D3 website:

When he died and his ineffectual child heir took the throne, Caldeum began to circle the abyss. Our list of ills seems never-ending: the state of our downtrodden and the slums they are forced to live in, our incompetent leadership, the reemergence of the intolerant Zakarum, and their quarrels with our mage class...I could go on for pages.

If i remember correctly, Zakarum were the holy paladin order. This probably means that there will indeed be paladins in D3. Also notice "their quarrels with our mage class..."

Mage class?

 

[punwisp]

Guys, seriously watch the game play video, Why the hell would they add the necromancer when WD pretty much is a necromancer? Seriously WD has undead spells, raising the dead, making undead walls and shit, a necromancer would just be a waste of space, Sense there are WD

 

[Moontraveler]

Necromancer... But there's 99.99% chance that it will be replaced by the Witch Doctor.

 

[Byaku]

Yes Assassin can do sneak attack and kill you from behind!

 

[Anything.]

Yes Assassin can do sneak attack and kill you from behind!

Nonono. Assassin can shoot magical hammers... WITH THEIR MIND.
I hope they keep that skill in if they add Assassin.

Totally awesome.

 

[Byaku]

Assasin don't use magical hammer! they use dagger

 

[punwisp]

no they dont, they lure old fat guys with twinkies and throw a explosive burger at them, Pure assassination!

 

[Byaku]

They making trap and throw a explosive burger on the target!!!
Explosive burger? are burger can explode?
