Monk Trailer
Monk Gameplay
My notes from the Blizzcon Heroes and Monsters panel regarding the monk
Blizzcon directv hosts are saying that Diablo 3 on consoles are plausible
Watching the Diablo 3 monsters and heroes panel now
Why monk?
- inspired by pen and paper rpg
- fragile, fast, melee is good gameplay
- good contrast from barbarian
- we like fighting games
- different
Monk kit
- feels like fighting game (combo moves)
- holy magic
- speed over toughness
Monk’s history
- asian + western appearance and culture
- Religious, spiritual warrior on the side of good
- part of a higy structured theocratic society
Monks skills - Combo movies
- fighting game reference
- add depth to melee heroes
Skill stages:
Hundred fist
Stage 1 : dash
Stage 2 : Multiple strikes
Stage 3 : AoE
Cripling wave
Stage 1 : movement slow
Stage 2 : reduce damage
stage 3 : refresh debuff
Exploding Palm (fulfill the fantasy of internal organ damage)
- Stage 1 and 2 : Damage
- Stage 3 : apply moderate bleed thta deals more
Target dies with bleed = Spectacular explosion
combined combo moves
goal : simple for beginners, depth for veterals
- can spam 1 skill repeatedly
- can combine skills
Effects :
Seven Sided Strike (Skill)
- like D2’s chainlightning, but you are the lightning
