Blizzcon 2008: Diablo III Classes Discussion Panel (Part 1)

[pleaseoceancloud]

I was there :D

[Clandestine1989]

is the wizard and the mage the same class???

[SeanSchecter]

needs better pvp then d2 or it won't be worth it imo

[dhillskier75]

i hope they make a better pvp system compared to d2. i know diablo is hack and slash PvE game, but PvP helps keep these games interesting.

[brow4636]

Yea I agree with the Archer/Ranger type class will be what the last one will be. The Witch Doctor is the equivalent of the D2 Necro imo.

[Elohite]

1. They said the Monk's tatoo on their back takes their whole life to complete. I see at max level (99) the tatoo wi be finished

2. A necro like character may come i.e. wizard - sorceress. Though I feel an archer/summoner type characters are left to come

[jvillinger]

Blizzard have said they love the Necromancer but they are not bring him back yet. Bet you any money they will bring him in the first expansion back.

I guess you could see Crusaders and Sharpshooters replacing Amazons.

I would really like to see warriors from the East making the Journey such as Samurai, Ronin, Ninja... etc.

[AvengerForSasuke]

Necromancer isnt coming back at all.

Blizzard confirmed this, they said barb is the only char coming back.

[jvillinger]

I recall them saying that they weren't bringing him back in THIS game. They didn't say whether or not he would not be returning in an expansion.

The quote was something along the lines of: We love the Necromancer but were not bringing him back in D3, its possible he may make an appearance in an expansion in the future.

Bottom line: They didn't rule him out.

[AvengerForSasuke]

WitchDoc is half necro half druid basicly, no chance in hell necro is coming back tbh, maybe 1 in a million chance, but thats about it. They might make necro or zon or whatever other chars that arent returning into NPC's that sells potions or something.

WitchDoc replaced Necro in Diablo 3

[jvillinger]

I'm merely passing on what Blizzard said.

Personally I would be stoked if they brought him back, Barbarian being the most boring class of D2.

[AvengerForSasuke]

Barb isnt boring at all.

If geared properly

it can be the funnest char to kill people with in pvp.

[jvillinger]

Following rant is opinion based:

For me personally, pvp is gay for Diablo. I have COD4 and Team Fortress 2 for pvp. Diablo is all about the PVE and drops.

The Barbarian is a brawler. Brawlers are gay. There was nothing special or magical about him. He was just built like a brick shit house. Wow, what a creative an interesting character... All warrior classes in every game are boring. They are too predictable. I've rolled them before, they are usually too easy to play as.

/end rant

[n4v32x]

Thats why the Barbarian is the first class made, and the class in the middle, because its for noobs. Players that don't know how to play will first take the biggest, meanest, the one in the middle: the barbarian, and thats what they want.

[Nunek18]

cuz ur one of that losers who cant win in pvp and plays mages bec they can hide behind other players and cast spells

[jvillinger]

Actually pvp in Diablo was never a problem for me. Doesn't change the fact that it was gay. Having a character 10 levels higher duel someone is just plain stupid.

The only spell caster class I liked was the Necromancer. However, my favourite class was a shape shifting druid. I also liked the Paladin. Barbarian is still stupid IMO.

Don't you just hate being wrong Nunek18? Don't assume next time.

[pulsexx]

the only reason you get drops is to pvp

[willsparkes]

no... wrong - Warrior classes arent boring at all... there not too predictable if people play them right - for example - good luck beating me on WoW.. you know, because im that predictable ;) - Warriors dont JUST whack you - you perform a series of chain combo's in order to achieve MAX damage - or if you are more of a protection, lots of armor type of guy, you just stack and stack armor, then they cant kill you for shit - yeah you wont do as much dmg yourself but you can hold off til backup cums

[jvillinger]

I'm not wrong because its my opinion. I am only wrong in your opinion. I personally find other classes my enjoyable to play. I recognize that people enjoy playing as warriors. I am not telling them they are wrong nor am I telling them to stop playing as them. They are still a logical and vital part of any team.

[orlandothx]

@willsparkes WOW.. all this is WOW... fucking game.. this is WOW3 not diablo 3

[Dhomess]

@orlandothx

I hope you realize that WOW 2 doesnt even exsist. so how can their be a third one?

If you are refering to Warcraft, you're a moron. Warcraft 1-3 are RTS games.

Diablo is older, better, and more baddass than WOW. (its also nothing like it)

Shut the fuck up and get off my internet.

[orlandothx]

@Dhomess i just realize is that you can't notice i was comparing wow with diablo... so.. diablo 3 will come out "soon" but that shit looks like WOW so the analogy is WOW3 but i think you dont understand what you read...do you need a whiteboard and a marker to explain it to you?. Cheers. Pd: i've played diablo 1 on internet in 1996 when i was finishing university...sure then you were just a fucking baby, so you shut up my liitle friend, and tell papa i was boring you.

[Dhomess]

@orlandothx

it's not "shit" and it looks absolutely nothing like WoW.

And I wasn't a baby in 1996 LMAO! I'm old enough to be your father.

[orlandothx]

@Dhomess oh wel... so my grandfather? hahha well anyway i gona play this game like an adicct Cheers

[Billsthenamefirst]

@willsparkes haha you said cum.

[willsparkes]

@Billsthenamefirst orly?!... I did aswell.. :p

[harryboy300]

its a ranged. im thinking theyre gonna get a range cuz there isnt one. THey said they arent bringing any classess other than the barbarian back, so it could be a huntsman, bowsman, archer.. etc.. But the other class i was thinking was a Holy knight(pally) but thats just a guess=]

[jowkazz]

Necromancer..！！！！！ cme back.！！！！

[Erlingp12]

its like he is wanking while taking this vidoe.. lol , shakes alot

[flyflyfluflu]

maybe a death knight?

[DVGamer7]

yeah true the diablo gameplay is just gonna OWN!

but Diablo made its name with its awesome style. - just would like to see stuff that was as unique as the first. tough ask though.

dont get me wrong im a diablo1 fan from way back and im gonna buy #3.

just...wanna put my 2 cents in :P

[DVGamer7]

boy...how did they ever think up of a wizard class....geniuses.

[Jaxoff]

who cares about the name, its the game play.

[skorpion47]

DVGamer7.. you just love going to every possible Diablo 3 video and dissing it don't you?

[JohneyS131]

too much shaking ^_^

[lyraelx]

the next two classes will be 1) ranger 2) warlock

[fragmaster345]

not warlock i think, theres already a witchdoctor and a wizard

[raunoz99]

a rogue or something :P

[fragmaster345]

hope not, rouge is the most uncreative.

[aprimeau104]

I would only buy Diablo 3 is if they bring back the paladin. Thats my opinion.

[hardcoregamer847A]

dude i also used 2 say the same thing.have u even seen the wizard trailer yet

[Ninjamonkeypirates]

Weeee ^^ Diablo :)

[ffsmax]

It is out NOW!!! Quick RUN DOWN TO WALMART!!

hah t2 fans ftw!!!!

[ale89515]

They're all overweight...

[sysexit]

That way they're nice.

[Greenhorsemanship]

they also seem like they have downs syndrome

[lkymn1]

wish they have sex change for diablo 4...

[bbb4l]

diablo 3 has sex change- U can see a male or female barb in a trailer

[jmorton6178]

when is it out????

i love the paladin hammers owned

[NoLiesUploads]

It is out NOW!!! Quick RUN DOWN TO WALMART!!!!

[shinkuhadouken1]

i want some sort of paladin.... my fav classes were paladin and druid and i guess witch doctor takes druid's place.... so PALADIN!!!!!!!

[Fayejealousy]

Bow class? Pally? Only one slot left! who will it be?! I can't wait either hehe

Or perhaps it will be something totally new like a revamped assassin who can use martial arts and bows and magical arts like a witch hunter.

or something new all together.

[hardcoregamer847A]

it might be either but i prefer paladin type character like a knight or somethiing.any ways cant wait for this game

[michelosbelmont]

i think we will have the Cleric:D it's like paladin i heard

[Jeedian]

I really hope they make a hunter type class for a bow class. So far all their classes are really sweet so can't wait to see what else they come up with.

[BigE181]

I prefer Archer...

[Jeedian]

Yeah either way. I hope they improve upon the methods of the Amazon and make them even more enjoyable.

[DarkArrow543]

disappointed.

[silencedfable]

Didn't study for conjuring class and still aced it lol.

[MortosSoulStealer]

called talent :D

[daboom2006]

[OverLord3000]

[RiotRanger]

all these dev's look remarkably similar to the animated versions in that southpark episode

[BxzPwns]
