Diablo 3 Will be Legendary

Diablo 3 so far looks like an incredible game, it will come out in America and Europe on May 15.  It is an action based RPG.  When you start you get to choose from so far 5 different classes including: Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Wizard, Monk and Witch Doctors.  You can customize your skills and spells and attach runes to them to make them more powerful.  There are also a few followers that you can hire (the Diablo 3 hirelings.)  You can also customize your hirelings abilities and what not.

One of the aspects of the game that I am most excited about is the game's promised auction house.  You can trade items that you find in-game in the auction house for either in-game gold or REAL MONEY.  Blizzard does take a small transaction fee whenever you trade items, they also take a fee whenever you withdraw money from Blizzard to get your actual money.  Don't worry, there is a whole bunch of security having to do with this aspect of the game, as it would be very unfortunate if you were to lose all of the cash that you played for hours to get.

I'm going to go a little more in-depth onto each of the Character Classes.

Monk - Monks are melee attackers, or physical, and they focus on having high speed, combos, aura, bonuses, and tactics.


Barbarian - Barbarians are melee attackers just like the Monks, but they are more brute force.  They use fury as their resource pool.


Demon Hunter - The Demon Hunter is a ranged attacker that specializes in bows and crossbows to attack.  They also have a lot of traps and some melee attacks that they can use (those are ranged melee.)


Wizard - The Wizard is a pure spellcaster, using arcane and elemental magic to do his bidding via a devastating array of offensive spells.


Witch Doctor - The Witch Doctor is a pure spell-caster that uses elemental magic, necromancy, nature magic, and alchemy.


I think I'm going to go download the beta for this game, I'll be choosing the Witch Doctor class!  Have fun if you play it yourself!


See you next time!
