Thanks for the heads-up!

Man, the Hand of Ytar rune for Lashing Tail Kick is sooooo awesome! It's like a frickin SMITE from the gods! I love it!

This video is OOOLLLLLD - you can see the runes in his inventory from when they were socketable items :P.

But yeah, still an ok video, but I wished they emphasised his speed and agility a little more - he was using slow attacks because he was using a two-hander. Needed more of that rapid-punching action to sell the idea of combos to newbies, I think.

not as cool as the barbarian spotlight video.

7 sided strike was the only thing that made me go "hey, that's cool". Rest was "eh". Deffinitely at the bottom of my list of characters to play.

I feel like scolding the people who put this trailer together - they used such poor shots :[. Like I said, they really needed to emphasise how AGILE a character he is.

Show some rapid-punching action when you're talking about it! Not:

*Punch*
.....
*punch*
.....
*punch*


/facepalm - I mean come on, it shouldn't be hard to put together a video which sells the vibe of this character :(.

When you're talking about how powerful a character is, show them killing stuff! It was kinda lame when the narrator was talking about how the Monk can kill even the heaviest-armoured enemies with his bare hands, and just shows him punching an Activated Vessel ineffectually :P.

We should be seeing each class DOMINATE the monsters on the screen, since trailers like this are just for show and supposed to show off each character as being super-powerful. This is the same reason why the Barb trailer made the DH one look bad - because when the narrator talks about the DH decimating her foes with grenades...we don't see any of them getting fazed by the little explosions in their face.

They did a much better job with SC2's race trailers - I don't know how they could drop the ball with Diablo 3 :S.

So.... CONFUSED!!!

@ 2:24 in the video, in an obviously burning Tristram, we see unattuned runestones in the inventory? Yet the UI is the current iteration? Hrm, exactly what build is Blizzard playing with and making these trailers with? lol..

PS: Oh, and just fyi, this is my favorite trailer so far. Didn't seem like they mashed up a bunch of different clips together... IMO

Runes in the inventory, and we can see that this is the one of the lastest builds, lol

[Namik]

This isn't latest beta build. Teleport icon doesn't look as good as in beta.

I like the part where he says the monk has mastery of swords.

I like the part where he says the monk has mastery of swords.

I don't get how he'd pick swords and maces over fist weapons...which are unique to the Monk =/.

On the other hand hey - it seems that those giant wooden bead things that they wear around their necks is a headpiece, which is pretty darn cool :P.
