Wow…I read that whole convo and I hope to God that the new char is not another melee. There is no way the next char will not have ranged abilities.
Look at the line up in d2 classic…sorc(spells), Barb(melee), Paladin(melee/auras/HAMMA TIME), necro(spells/summons/curses), amazon(range all the way)
Then the new line up:wizard(spells), barb(melee), monk(melee/maybe auras??), witch doctor(spells and curses/maybe summons i dunno), then what?
I think this last guys is gonna be the typical ranger…not to ruin your fun with the talks of the last horadric…but I highly doubt they will be that AMAZING. They should mix the ranger with some auras tho…that would be baller and amazingly overpowered.
