14 monsters you want back in Diablo3

Ok, let’s create a list, the monster wish list for Diablo III

My favourite monsters of all time from Diablo1 and Diablo2

Name  – Game

The Hidden (Diablo1 )
The Goat Clan (Diablo1&2 )
Succubi (Diablo1&2 )
Venom/Pit Lords   (Diablo2 )
Overlords (Diablo1 )
Storm demons (Diablo1 )
Mages ((Diablo1&2 )
Flesh Demons (Diablo2 )
Advocate (Diablo1 – teleporting casters that drive you insane)
Balrogs (Diablo1 )
Snakes (Diablo1 )
Death Knights  (Diablo1 )
Minotaurs (Diablo2 )
Leapers (Diablo2 )

These monsters are simply great and need to be introduced in Diablo3. I am for the introduction of new monster classes but i still want some old game charm. I would be a bit disappointed in Blizzard if they don’t introduce the classics.

Dune Thresher – A new Diablo3 Beast

A new beast walks in the world of Diablo3

A rare but dangerous beast It is the most spectacular monster in D3 yet. New Game Info straight from Blizzard
The Dune Thresher

This is how the story of this beast begins:

As I was preparing to set pen to paper to begin recording my thoughts at the beginning of my epic undertaking to gather the world’s knowledge together in one tome, the hand of providence tapped me on the shoulder. The news that a rogue burrower had killed a citizen just outside the city gave me the wonderful opportunity to see firsthand one of the more disturbing creatures we share this world with – the savage dune thresher.

Diablo 3: The Witch Doctor article

The Witch Doctor. A sinister and cannibalistic character that will soon be walking the Diablo3 earth . Some say he is brilliant some simply hate him .. I will discuss this further here

Why do people hate the D3 WD ?

Because he was the “Necromancer killer” Not sure if this definition is correct, blizzard said that they were planing to replace All characters from D2 but the Barbarian still had a spark in his eye. So the Witch Doctor was the first nonD2 character to appear and had similar skills to the Necromancer.People auto-assumed that HE was the reason that the Necro will not appear in the final version of DiabloIII

Why do people love the D3 WD?

  • Because he has new awesome skills. The wall of zombies is simply breathtaking ( i hope they make it useful though) – a very tactical skill with high potential
  • It is a new Savage Tribal Character never before seen in the Diablo Universe
  • Very powerful at high levels. From what we see in the Diablo3 Videos we can assume that this character will RULE. I hope that Blizz doesn’t overpower him
  • There is no charge for Coolness. This character looks absolutely great, with those masks and body painting.
  • It is New. I am sure though that when the other D3 characters are released people will love them the same.

What would you like to see?

There is a debate about the Witch Doctor having the power to summon creatures. Some say it is good, others say it’s bad. My opinion is that is good as long as we don’t make him a Necromancer in a Shaman’s clothes. This character should be unique.

I saw an unique idea online: The WD should be able to perform heavy-duty rituals in battle. This would mean painting lines and symbols with paint of enemy blood and therefore casting powerfull curses/spells.
A great idea but it needs more tweaking

At last This character must be able to resist Hell mode… no additional words on this topic

A few of his current D3 abilities :

  • Firebomb
  • Locust Swarm
  • Horify
  • Mass Confusion
  • Soul Harvest

From what we read online we can assume that the WD will have a disease, summon, and fire tree (If Blizzard goes with the skill tree approach like D2). An interesting a new look over a Diablo character (although it was used before)

Isn’t the Witch Doctor a hyped up shaman ?
Here is the wikipedia definition of a Shaman:

Shamanism refers to a range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the spirit world. Practitioners of shamanism are known as shamans. There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world, though there are some beliefs that are shared by all forms of shamanism:

* That spirits can play important roles in human lives.
* The shaman can control and/or cooperate with the spirits for the community’s benefit.
* The spirits can be either good or bad.
* Shamans engage various processes and techniques to incite trance; such as: singing, dancing, taking entheogens, meditating and drumming.
* Animals play an important role, acting as omens and message-bearers, as well as representations of animal spirit guides.
* The shaman’s spirit leaves the body and enters into the supernatural world during certain tasks.
* The shamans can treat illnesses or sickness; they are healers.

It is up to you to decide what character class you will play in Diablo3, I am sure that Blizzard will make them all balanced and powerful. At last it is a matter of taste

PS: let’s hope they assign the Witch Doctor a deep african voice 🙂
