When I played the beta I found all the classes to be easy to play and very survivable. Gear and weapons will also change the look of your character as you acquire them. However, it does mean the character creation process is very simple and it only takes a few seconds to choose a name and start playing. Since I love character customization this is a little disappointing to me. If you roll a male Barbarian, you will look like every other male Barbarian in the game. There is only one class in the game with access to heals and that class is the Monk - a melee class.Īnother thing to be aware of is that there is absolutely no character customization. The melee classes (especially the Barbarian) are able to tank to a limited degree if they spec for it, but having a “tank” in your party is unlikely to be essential.

All the classes are capable of DPS, and each individual is largely responsible for his/her own health. (If I remember correctly the max group size is four.) This means that the classic MMO “holy triad” of tank, heals and DPS does not exist in D3. You can join open games with strangers if you like, but the number of people in your game at any one time is going to be severely limited. It is multi-player, yes, but you aren’t going to be exploring a world filled with other players. One thing you have to remember is that D3 is not an MMORPG.

For much more detailed information, check out the official Diablo 3 website. This is going to be an explanation of the Diablo classes, with a focus on which WoW classes are most like the Diablo classes and how it felt to play each class through the early levels on the D3 beta.

The last(?) installment will cover some basic Diablo 3 gameplay and offer a few handy tips to start out with.

This installment will cover the Diablo class system, which will feel very familiar to WoW players.

Part 3 covered the lore of Diablo 2 and a few more similarities to WoW.

Part 2 gave a synopsis of the lore of the first Diablo game and discussed more similarities between Diablo and WoW.

Part 1 gave a synopsis of Diablo lore prior to the events of the original Diablo game, as well as a brief discussion of some of the similarities between the lore of Diablo and the lore of Warcraft.

However, I’d like to cover some more practical aspects of Diablo gameplay before it releases in 2 days, so I may have to come back to the lore later. I had a few people ask me questions about the lore and I realized it would be good to answer them - and also to perhaps cover a bit about the new lore revealed in the lead up to D3. So much Diablo content to cover, so little time.
