Diablo 3: We need a thread

Yeah. Just make it like GW. Problem solved.

This.

Perfect example of a D2-like game that gives you both WASD and click-to-move options.

This is so '90s that it's great:

I don't like the cartoony style.

Just kidding, I love it.

My only complaint is that I still miss the old voice for Tyrael. Blizzard should've gone out of their way to secure the same voice actor.

Diablo 3's skill system is pretty well suited imo to WASD because (1) you can't do two things at once, or rarely can, and

(2) most spells take some time to cast and have a recharge, meaning you don't need to alternate a lot between skills.

Barbarian - 6 defensive/control skills, 3 powerful skills. (They last a short time [15s] but have a long [2 min] cooldown.)
Witch Doctor - 7 defensive/summon skills, 3 powerful skills.
Wizard - 4 defensive skills, 1 skill that's both offensive and defensive, 1 powerful skill.
Monk - the 4 mantras, 1 defensive skill, 2 offensive skills (which are strong, but the cooldowns are short).
Demon Hunter - 2 offensive skills, 1 utility skill (restores all discipline on a 2 min cooldown).

Every other skill in the game has no cooldown, they are limited by your resources. And I don't think I've seen one single skill in the game that's had a cast time.

D3 is made to be played using a mouse to move. It's not rocket science. Nice rage pics though.

Well.. That's the fastest you've ever conceded a point. I wasn't expecting that.

It's actually sort of worrying. ..is everything okay?

I hate typing on a phone. This week people will win arguments more easily.

Wasd would be better though ;)

You must need a better keyboard!
Tried Swiftkey or Swype yet?

Swype annoys me, but it's better than tap-to-type. I got a phone with a QWERTY keyboard to avoid all that stuff.
