I want a dedicated healer type. Because I'm a support fag. Or at least a build from like the druid or the paladin or something that had healing as a focus. Yes i expect to do shit damage, maybe have one spell that i could actually use to kill something but i want to be able to get a party of mercs and just have them do all my killing for me. Go ahead and flame but i like being helpful to people in other ways than killing faster.
I am still a fan of Diablo II
But two things have always pissed me off and should be changed.
The first and most annoying is having to restock your belt with all of your potions after you die. Moving ten or twelve potions into little slots never made any sense to me. If your belt stays there so should the potions. You can always buy more with the amount of money you get anyway so there was no reason to keep the potions in the inventory if you died.
The second thing I would like included is the inclusion of a new type of stat that would allow you to boost resistance.

Congrats! There are no more Health Potions.Blindlion said:
Well one could argue that Diablo, being the lord of Terror, will always exist so long as there is fear in the world... They destroyed Diablo's soulstone though, I dunno how they could ressurect him. Perhaps it only released him into the Ether... anyway I had assumed the game would be about the remaining Lesser Evils.Ivoryagent said:
Really good ideas! I swear if they DON'T have potion stacking...
I remember playing on the hardest skill setting in 2, and your entire inventory would have to be practically full of health potions just to survive. Ridiculous.
I loved the item crafting the cube offered - and the one time you were able to craft an item with the blacksmith (was it Charci?). That should definitely be an option. I think it's too late for them to really listen to us about all the ideas though; so I guess what we get is what they've decided on. I hope D3 doesn't get overhyped as so many games have been lately.

But the Dark Wanderer's soulstone WAS Diablo's Soul Stone. The Warrior jammed Diablo's soulstone into his head to seal him and went mad, and became The Wanderer.Ivoryagent said:
I think they need a Holy Fire range increase. A BIG one.
Just for shits & giggles. Imagine...you start the game. EVERYTHING dies.

[controversy]I think we should make Diablo III more colorful and include a rainbow level![/controversy]
Seriously though, all these emo kids need to stop complaining about how cartoony and colorful Diablo III looks. It's called realism people, maybe if you bothered to step outside once in a while you'd realize that real doesn't equal dark and gloomy. Blizzard is perfectly capable of giving Diablo III a dark tone and adding some color to the game. These are not mutually exclusive features, regardless of what your coven or whatever might think.
...oh, and it's be cool if they'd add a co-op feature. I'd be nice to play the game with some friends over a lan connection without having to worry about connecting to Blizzard's servers. I also like Khell's belt idea, but since he already posted it I'll leave it alone.

I liked the rune system of d2, however, I did not like having to look online for rune recipes. I think they need to add a rune-checker to the horadric cube. Just dump your runes and weapons/armor, and it will tell you if you have any part of a runeword. Kinda like that board game Mastermind.
I'd like to see the powers become different as they get more powerful. In Diablo 2, the only difference between a level 1 Lightning and a level 20 Lightning was the damage. What I'd like to see happen is when you get a power to a high enough strength, it would begin to inherit some of the properties of other, similar spells, proportional to how many points you had put into them. For example, if you had maxed out both Chain Lightning and nova, then you could start to get occasional "Sparks" jumping off of the nova ring and shocking enemies that would normally be out of reach.
Also, as an extension to the last idea, if you put points into the "Mastery" spells (assuming that they carry over to the wizard class) you could begin to merge skills at will, creating your own "Hybrid skills". To give this power a drawback (the game needs balance, too) each "hybrid" that you create will incur a mana penalty, where you lose a small (or large, depending on the hybrid's strength) amount of mana simply to have the skill available.
For the other classes, I'd like to see the witch doctor able to make alchemical potions, preferably offensive, but maybe healing and/or defensive, too. The offensive potions could be thrown, like in the previous game, but could also be used in different ways. They would not only have short-term effects, but rather have long-lasting, more destructive effects. Explosive potions would not only detonate, but spread burning tar to ignite the area around it, and any enemies who happen to walk over it(They don't just take fire damage when in the fire, they are set on fire). As an alternate way of using this, you could open the explosive potion and use it against a single enemy, drenching them in burning tar and making them leave a trail of burning liquid. I have no good ideas for the barbarian, unfortunately.

I really wish some Blizzard employees go here and read these ideas. It's not too late. Just because they made an announcement doesn't mean you'll see the game in the immediate future (I'm looking at you StarCraft 2).
