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

meanwhile, here’s the screencap of the site that Sol got
