Please, no more hdin hdin, no more overpowered hdins

We all knew and felt in the same manner : 'dins overpowerness really pissed off all d2gs. Especially in pvp, 'din was a pain in the *ss.

In d3 we pray and hope will not feel the pvp 'din overpowerness.

Goodbye 'din , just stay away from us!

Certainly no more hammerdins. Easily the most lame build in the game.

Barabas · 30-06-2008, 08:18

Let's make a petition and send it to Blizzard.

If I see one more din din in d3 I'll ... well, I don't have yet a idea what I'll do, but I'll be very angry or something.

i too hope pallys get the chop.

i think pvp hdins are lame. but when it comes to key runnin and mfing....i think little surpasses them. especially for killing speed and relatively cheap gear

lets just set the record straight, Hammerdins were simply a bugged class. Back in the day the leaded tester Kelly Johnson actually failed to notice that Concentration which was supposed to only add to physical damage actually worked completely which it was never intended to do on Blessed Hammer a purely magical skill that evolved from an undead only skill tree.

I remember all the *****ing that began when this glitch was discovered, buy the time of the next patch Blizzard had already made all major skill balances and basically left Hammerdins alone because of their enormous popularity. Lets hope now with Kelly Johnson gone a more resourceful play testing staff is checking all skill interactions for possible bugs and exploits so we wont see this awful build again. Paladin was a truly fun class, don't blame poor testing oversights and Blizzards then poor decision not to allow concentration to work on Blessed Hammer as reason to axe the Paladin class.

I'm looking forward to seeing what new classes Blizzard has.

The Barbarian has a "Charge" skill so I can't see the Pallys being back really.

Barabas · 30-06-2008, 11:14

Well, I don't know what your infos are Thyiad, but I heard other thing. And that is that pallys will be kept for their wellknown rulz-ness.
Please confirm/infirm that info.

LE/PS : I do hope that we all know the wright codes from my first post in this thread. I mean 'dins = hammerdins , and not all paladin class. Cause I want that only those buggy hammerheads to dissapear ( for top lame subclass ), not the paladin class itself, which is pretty cool.
I should put the "h" in front of dins, not to create any confusion

I pretty ask a mod to corect the first post and replace 'din with hdin. Thnx.

If that was a mistake, why wouldn't they changed it in the patches?
That means Blizzard was intirely against the Hdins idea.

However, IMO, it looks like the Pala is gone. With the atmo of the game and the trailer I just can't imagine the holy warrior there..

I'd be surprised if the Paladin was gone, he was one of the most versatile classes with dozens of different builds. Sure, some were overpowered, but now the budgets and teams are bigger, the development and testing phases longer - we have the technology, we can rebuild! I wish all the old Diablo classes were back, I'm going to miss them, whichever ones don't make it that is.

People hate paladins in PVP, but love them in cooperative groups for their auras.
