Anyone else feel like "rogue" doesn't even seem like the best way to describe the class? It doesn't feel like a rogue, or an assassin. Feels more like a brand new thing altogether. "Hunter" maybe? Might just be me though
Diablo IV Open Beta starts March 24th - 27th [It's joever]
- Thread starter M. Wallace
- Start date
It's Diablo though so gotta give it a bit more flair.
How about "Demon Hunter"?
yeah, but I'm not sure they mean in time for this beta.
I wonder if the inevitable holy class with be of the new religion we see in D4 (The light) and not Zakarum from d2/d3
i mean. this is a beta. im sure they are testing it more if its too strong or weak so having it scheduled like this gather data when they can get people to do it at a certain time with max players
imo we're going to have to fight The Light, so I would actually see that as a reason why the Zakarum/Paladin/Crusaders are showing up.
I'm really salty they're not in D4, they were my favorite class in 3.
Just felt like another take on the Amazon and Demon Hunter to me. Obviously not the same, but many of the skills and the playstyle just felt too much like them. It was very much a Rogue/Assassin type character to me. Made me think quite a bit of the Assassin, Strider and Magick Archer from Dragon's Dogma too. The irony is that the "Rogue" in Diablo 2 was just a short ranged archer.
Similarly, even if they bring back the "Paladin", it will just be modern Blizzard'd into another Crusader-like class, since that's all the Crusader was anyway. There's speculation already that one of the main NPCs you interact with in the beta is already likely the template for the next holy class.
I had a not so great time playing Barbarian for a few hours last weekend, hoping going outside of my comfort zone with a class like Necromancer will spark some more interest in this game.
To be fair DH is not my favourite class, but often the one i choose during seasons in D3 because of how fast the class moves and clear rooms.
They're buffing the Barbarian
Don't give up on them.
The Necromancer looks really good also
It's a direct reference to the Diablo 1 class and Diablo 2 Act1 Companion, which was Rogue
Specifically the two were members of the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye though by D4's timeline references to Rogues expanded to include other Rogue groups, such as Kehjistan mercenaries and Hawezar smugglers, and not just women.
Nah. It's already going to be stronger out of the gate due to its casting skills. It's just likely going to end up being the jack of all trades that it looks like, and its main defining feature will be crushing blow.
I have a huge amount of hopium with this one, but it looks to me like there will be one or maybe two pretty good builds in the beta, while many of them won't really be accessible until we have a lot more skill points to dump into passives, as well as having access to some of the other aspects. Between the Druid and Necromancer, the Necromancer seems closer to the Barbarian...but assuredly won't be as difficult early on.

So I can play this starting this weekend right? Its open to all? Because I am very behind and havent played at all. Can we install yet?
Yeah I love ranged, but DH were so fast, it was a strong fun combo for me.

Feel like this should be quoted
Expect queues tomorrow! They will be deliberately stressing the game.
I think rogue is fine, since the Diablo 1 classes didn't really have any specific mechanics are skills to define them.
I only need to see how well this game runs on my computer, gonna get up early Saturday morning in hopes of dodging the queue just so I can put in an hour or two. I don't want to spend all weekend hyping myself for a game I have to wait 3 months to play agian lol
Back in my day, when I played WoW we had to fight over them.
For what it's worth, they were spawning about every hour or two on closed beta.
There is not. There is alot of blood and gore sadly so she will not like this.
i don't think i remember seeing option to turn down gore which is weird. didn't D3 have an option to turn it down or off?
there is an "low fx" option in settings. wonder if that turns down blood.
Through this post I found out the iOS equivalent is called MirrorPlay and apparently that app is also just not available for the Apple TV, so this might really be an amazing get - will report in.
It is for 2, I tried it in the closed beta and it was fine. You do have to have battle.net accounts linked to the profiles playing though so go ahead and create that if you have not.
Shadow step, poisons, traps, cloak…all rogue WoW abilities.
Will I be able to play online co op with the open beta for PS5? me and my group plan on downloading it and giving it a go , but we're gonna be so disappointed if it's only for single player.
