Let's guess D3 classes!

Yes, but Wick they said they wanted a very fast gameplay, and slow zombies wasnt the kind of unit that fitted in that gameplay.

 

@furrer: I noted down a few things here: http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showpost.php?p=156495&postcount=19

 

Thank you! I think the zealots are a bit faster, but the probes are a lot faster. Perhaps we should go togehter and make a post about how starcraft 2 is working right now? (I have a lot of time, I love vacation )
And perhaps one about D3 too?

 

When did I say that?

 

I just wanted to say that the necro didnt suit into D3, i was refering to this one WIck.

 

I find that funny. Trying to use summons as a Necromancer would be like trying to use Raven as a Druid.

 

I'm completely serious. No joke at all. 10+ skeletons with maxed out Skeletal Mastery with Amplify Damage and some Bone Spear/Spirit thrown in is one of the safest and best builds for Hell mode.

 

Hey I think we are going a bit away from the main subject: Guess D3 classes, not talk about Hell Build for the Necro.

 

Summoner necromancers work in Hell, I've beaten the game with one myself.

 

I'm pretty sure there is character customization, if you look at the blizzard screenshots, the barbairans have different facial hairs.

Here, I took a screenshot

Btw, Im thinking of a demon character. Perhaps a demon who changed sides due to some rebel reason or something. Or how about an angel like character?

 

In a Q&A session Blizzard said the only customization was for gender. That's a male and female Barbarian you're looking at, not two males.

 

2 slots are taken, so 3 left:
At least some kind of mage, elemental sorcerer right? You know: Fire/Ice/etc.
But the last 2 could have a lot of options, Ill name a few:
Paladin, Ranger/Assasin, some kind of Demon/Werewolf/Vampire...

 

Sorry for double post

I think they said today at WWI that they would make it customable
And where did they say "only", the question was if you could choose genders, and they asked yes. (I just checked it)

 

Oh wow I just noticed the chest on the female. They're both pretty broad . Anyway, I don't doubt they'll eventually make character customization.

 

I think Paladin is a given considering it's D3, some sort of holy damage. Then spellcaster and range/stealth/traps.

 

heres my prediction:

Barbarian
Witch Doctor
Ranger
Cleric
Sorcerer / sorceress

heres why i think for the last 3:

- the ranger to replace the amazon / rogue and druid, with ranged bow attacks and animal pets.
- the cleric as a replacement for the paladin, using holy attacks but leaving most of the heavy duty bashing for the barbarian.
- the sorcerer / sorceress because it was in diablo 1 and 2 only difference were genders, so why not in a game that you can have both genders? plus it needs an all out caster class.

what do you guys think?

 

Cleric huh? At first I thought you meant a healer which isn't very Diablo-lical at all. As a dps, like a shadow priest, sounds great. I never did much like the pally anyway.

I think an elemental magic user is a bit too same old same old. I'd rather see a badass battle mage. The most OP class any game could ever see! Although I do think the sorc will make into D3. Best chances out of all the other classics IMO. Hopefully we won't be seeing any Ice orbs getting spammed like multiple orgasms in D3.

The witch doc is obviously the necro reborn. I wager that the skills the witch doc has were once on the necro in the earliest of D3 builds. Blizz must of realized the necro was too op with these new skills and turned his name/appearance/lore down to -11. Thus we have the witch docter. I can't begin to explain how much the change pisses me off.

The problem with shape shifters is they spend most of their time looking like every other person playing the class. This helm that just dropped is hot ****. Check all the ornate horns and glowing runes on it. Well, better turn back into a wolf so I can play the game. If Blizz can spend the resources to make items viewable on a druid type I'm all for it. Until then, I'll pass.

Thus far we know of one old class and one (INFERIOR) remake. I expect one more classic and one more new model same class. The 5th will be something truly new.
My ideas: Bard, manbeast, angel (like Tyrael if he were a lower class of angel), or pirate.

 

Blizzard confirmed the wizard in the classes & skills panel. Head over to psionicz' post for the quotes.

Battlemage? That's not a proffesion. It barely qualifies as a hobby. 'Battlemage' is about as impressive a title as Lord of the dance.
