View Full Version : Does the Assassin have a place in D3?
Wasn't sure if I should post this in the D3 section or 'sin section. In the end, I decided I should post it here, do get the opinions of the major 'sin fans.
Who thinks the 'sin has one of those 3remaining golden tickets in d3? What do you think they'll keep and change? Do you think we'll still be able to get skills that are native to other classes, such as whirlwind to keep the Wwsins alive? Don't you think it would be the shizz to play a sin as a guy?
POST!

TBH I'm not really thinking there will be a 'sin in d3, not in the first 5 characters anyways. Bliz did say that there will be a character using traps, but for now I'm seeing it as more of a rouge type character. Look at the barb artwork, on one of his drawings...he has a claw(or what appears to be darn close). IMO there will be the barb, the witch dr, an elemental character(think sorc), a ranged character(zon/rouge), and then a holy character(pally) to balance out the witch dr. Looks like the sin/druid get the short end of the stick...bye bye wwsins/wolves :' (.

Well d3 will come out with 5 characters, the only hope for a 'sin would be in an expansion. Idk if I can hold my breath that long though >.>

I think, and hope, it will come out in the (should i say classic?) version of d3. Ironic to call a game classic that hasn't been released.

Honestly, as I stated before I'm not seeing an assassin on the release date...if at all. I guess there will always be a female barb to whirl with, and someone to release some traps with so all is not lost...just 99.6%.

Not to mention the art work that I have seen(no vids, dialup FTMFL :/), it doesn't really fit the area for an assassin. An assassin should be in a darker setting, my guess is that d3 is brighter because it starts off with everyone being happy the prime evils are dead then everything goes to hell again. A reason not to bring the assassin back could be as simple as its d3 not d2.5 bro, we just gotta wait and see how it all plays out, and how the game plays.

I think I heard somewhere something about claws in some art work, and I know I've heard some stuff about a trapper.

The picture that I was refering to is also in the d3 barb forum, take a gander over there to check it out. I'm not sure why a big bad muscle bound barb would want a claw instead of a big axe but meh I'm also not making the game. There has been talk of when the 'traps' were mentioned that it will be more things in the game, aka knocking back a monster into a pit or the like.
I for one think whatever trapper is to be seen in d3 will be a ranger-type, ala Guild Wars

Never played guild wars, but a combination of the amazon and assassin into some type of rogue would be cool.
I was thinking exactly the same thing BuFa. My guess would be that traps will be a ranger skill.

Ya seems like a good idea.

I really hope some trap/stun based character is in d3. Trappers are really important in d2 team dueling, hopefully they will make a reappearance in d3.

Not sure what the traps will turn out to be like, like a tripwire you have to set up and lure a monster over it, or like they are in d2 where you place them and anything that comes in range sets them off. Hopefully they can come up with something that keeps the old traps 'flavor' while adding a new twist that keeps them productive throughout the game.
