Monk, D3's Assassin? - Page 2

[:1]Yes he is. All we need now is a weapon than gives him WW and some armor that grants teleport, and we're all set. |||Quote:

The 3rd shot of crippling wave sort of looks like a spin, and even slows.

Hundred fist - cripple = the new tele ww? :O





hmmm |||Heh..based on what we have seen i doubt even teleport would help much. |||Quote:

Too early to really know dude, but I like where your head's at. My first thought was actually Exploding Palm - Run away and spam cripple like a coward for 7 seconds - repeat (skill based OW? Yes please), but I like your idea better. My main concern is with how the combo system will work in PvP- it will certainly be better that D2 (the 1st and 2nd hits do more than regular attacks), but how much better remains to be seen. The tragic part of the D2 assassin was that her buffs and passives made for a really cool melee fighter but her actual attacks sucked - thus the kicker (kicks themselves weren't even that good in PvP) and later the WWsin. The Monk seems like he has good attacks, hopefully his passives will be interesting as well. A lot of it will come down to mobility - the Monk is fast, but with teleporting Wizards and charging/WWing barbs those charges might be hard to put together. Which will be great! High skill, big reward, that how I like my PvPers anyway.|||Quote:

I can't wait for a bigger list to figure out how best to combo. So far, maybe drain from exploding palm, cripple to slow and drain, and idk what else :P



This dude is so exciting! I can't wait to get into the Monk builds |||Btw, was i the only one who thought that the monk trailer was kinda.. cheap? I'm not talking graphics.

lol.|||I must admit that I fail to understand martial arts was solely the purview of the assassin in D2 though. |||Quote:

As soon as they reveal the Monks trap-skills, it will all fall into place. |||Quote:

He's not a trapper, Blizzard mentioned he/she's actually a holy+martial class, so what we're missing are the holy skills. I'm really curious to see them...

Hmmms I have a speculation, maybe he/she could turn into some Buddha-like avatar or something

Come to think of it, this actually fits very well into the D3 scenario actually, imagine a glowing avatar of God tramping and smashing his way through the dark dungeons and creepy gigantic monsters...epic.

I think Blizzard was trying to keep things hush-hush when making these videos, they have already revealed two Bosses for the previous class intro videos.

Can't wait for the last class |||I still think though that video was really lame tho. Its a matrix/anime kinda thingy.

imo, ofc.
