    Absolutely, although I'm yet to here what the deal with geographic servers is and how latency resistant it is.

    I imagine that all the servers are gonna buckle on day one, I recall battle.net having a hard time when D2 launched for a bit. Hopefully they have it under control after all the WoW experience tho

    I'm so rusted for diablo, I bet I'll suck when I play it.

    Playing diablo 1 to get used to it again.

    Well we should probably agree on a server so we can start a D3 guild.

    I'm not sure how theyre gonna break up the servers for D3, if it's anything like D2 was I suggest going with the non-default choice ie. US East since it generally has less of a stress load going on

    Character classes need helpers, esp for caster types if solo bosses.

    Probably need alot of skill as a squishy to do a boss without a meat shield.

    Also why they even bother with 2v2?

    Barbarian / caster every single match

    3v3 seems to be interesting.

    I am betting they will make the "warlock" type class overpowered
    and slowly nerf the shit out of it, so rolling a barbarian on day 1
    until the tweaking and nerfing are done.

    Learned my lesson in wow, never play a blizzard game as a caster class
    like mage.

    Yeah if you wanna plow through and not die all the time, go with a tank class. I usually go caster but until you hit mid levels its a constant health struggle without backup

    Even after a decade of tweaking D2 the light sorc is still basically the most powerful/flexible character in the game if you gear her right (Infinity to break immunes, best on the merc). Matched only by a hammerdin, but most people get bored of hammerdins pretty quickly.

    D2 is old school, I doubt they will have any of the classes that powerful due to pvp.
