BlizzCon: Diablo 3 Gameplay and the New Wizard Class


At BlizzCon 2008, they went into great detail about the Diablo 3 gameplay, and announced a new class—The Wizard!  I personally love playing the glass cannon class, but she is no wimp!  She can take out mobs like it’s nobody’s business!

First, I want to go into greater detail about the new gameplay.  Diablo 3 is everything you loved about Diablo 2, and more.  Blizzard took player favorites, and improved upon them.  Besides the massive graphics upgrade, your character can destroy the environment and interact with it: building walls can collapse, rusty chandeliers can fall, and you can push your enemies off the side to fall to their death.

BlizzCon: Hands on With the Diablo III Witch Doctor


Diablo HeavensIf you don’t know already, Diablo 3 is playable at BlizzCon this year. Everyone is probably dying to know about the new classes. Earlier this season, the Witch Doctor and Barbarian were announced as new classes. At BlizzCon, they also announced a third class, the Wizard. We’ll cover that more in a later article. I, however, had the pleasure of trying out the Witch Doctor first hand. Now you might be wondering, “Allen, you’re a tough, burly man, why didn’t you play the Barbarian?” Well, although that statement may be true, I am not that interested into just running into things and hitting really hard. Where’s the fun in that? I wanted to try the elegant class of Witch Doctor. I would have taken some sweet videos or taken some pictures, but Blizzard wouldn’t allow any of that.
