Purkake Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) The Blizzcon opening ceremony starts in just 30 minutes. Hopefully I'll this when as we get the news. Here are some liveblogs: DIII.net, WoW.com, Kotaku and Eurogamer. There is also an official livestream, but it costs like €30 to watch. Apparently the fourth class is Monk and it will be replacing the Paladin. Edited August 21, 2009 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oner Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Apparently the fourth class is Monk and it will be replacing the Paladin.Favorite class taken out vs cool looking monk. Not being able to see a cool paladin in Dio 3 graphics vs cool looking monk. Shield using enemies are invulnerable from the front vs primary shield using class taken out. I don't like this trade. But the monk looks really cool. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget!

Maria Caliban Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm not sure where you guys are getting that the monk is the replacement for the palidan. "When is this out.

kirottu Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 There were no paladins in Diablo 2 only lolhammers. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I'm not sure where you guys are getting that the monk is the replacement for the palidan. Maybe because the picture only shows four classes to choose from? Shaman (?), Warrior, Sorseress, Monk.

I'd be shocked if it had fewer than pre-expansion DII and that symmetrical arrangement suggests at least two more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 A physical ranged class like the Amazon. Apparently the monk kicks fireballs back at the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 I find it weird that they did it in-engine. Usually the cinematics are all done using CGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) Monk class! Awesome! I find it weird that they did it in-engine. Usually the cinematics are all done using CGI. I think it's a cutscene, not a cinematic. I assume they wanted to show off the actual class, not pretty chr. CGI that wouldn't be in the actual game.

Purkake Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 That would explain it. Can't wait to see all the awesome new skills. The Diablo III panel should start in 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm not impressed by the monk trailer. Too Hollywood. I'm rarely impressed by any game trailer...since they're usually nothing at all like actually clicking your way through the game. But it is nice to see how the Monk will look (while moving) and using what I assume are some of his skillz. One of those skillz I'd guess to be a magic protection shield of some kind, form the way he responded to all the fire bolts falling down towards him. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm going to take a wild guess the Monk has "prayer" powers of self-protection/melee enhancement, with less focus on them helping other players. “Things are as they are.

Purkake Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 The monks have a combo system, a bit like the D2 Assassin, I guess. Lots of different animations for the hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
