| I liked the skill system in Diablo 2, I wish there could have been more. My take on the characters is a wider selection of characters from the other games. Have jump be an action for all classes, set it to one of the clicks. Any combat oriented class can dual-wield. Maybe the option to play a male or female character? My classes:
Warrior - Skilled with weapons, much like the "Barb" in D2. This is the more sophisticated version of the damage dealer.
Enchantress - Has area of effect spells ranging from illusions to DoT's. Can also manipulte monsters much like the Necro's Curses. Can cast buffs as well, like the Pally.
Rogue - Like the assasin, in fact, almost the same exact thing as the assasin. Except instead of Martial Arts, the Rogue has a set of passive skills that boost "Luck". Things in this catagory include everything from Magic Find to Critical Hits. The rogue has a Combat Skill tab, a "Luck" tab, and a Traps.
Necromancer - Summons skeletons and other minions, controls poisins and toxins, but instead of Curses, a Shapeshifting ability. This skill set allows the Necro to take on different forms such as a Lich (Mana and Life Steal) to a Wrath (Higher Defense and Movement Speed)
Paladin - Exactly the same, maybe switch out some skills for new ones.
Huntress - Combine the Druid and the Amazon. Bow and Javelin, with the Nature Skills. Give them some pets, like the wolves and bears. And for the third Skill Set, maybe something like a totem effect. Some totems can heal, some cast off fire bolts.
Elementalist - Like the Sorcerer. They control the elements. The three tabs are Natural Elements (Cold, Heat, & Light), Cosmic Elements (Evocation) Super Natural Elements (Ground, Sky, & Water) The "Natural" Elements are the damage dealing spells. The Cosmic tab holds all of the Passive and generic skills. These generic skills include energy bolts and "Warmth" type effects.
Monk - This is the Martial Arts class. The three tabs are the three different styles of fighting. One is about offense, one is defense, and the other is movement and healing oriented skills.
Pit Fighter - This is the more savage version of the damage dealer. Instead of style and grace, the Pit Fighter deals with raw power. One skill tab is Warcries. Combat Skills, like Frenzy and Bash is another tab. The last tab is another set of Combat Skills which focus on Dual Wielding explicitly.
These are my character classes. |
