Where did you get these stuffs? =P

Anyways, I love the new Wizard, she's more versatile than the old Sorceress, and she's hell of a hottie, too. I can see that some Sorceress spells are visible to the Wizard, perhaps they learned from the same spell books LOL

[neeks.]

Quote

she's hell of a hottie

Exactly why I did her first. I didn't DO her, but I made her.. Stuff.
Uh, I googled it and recompiled it into a simpler-to-read guide for spells. Oh, you're a mod?

[Mizkipz]

Iyup, now I'm a mod. =P

She'll be the first character I'll ever play. Probably will be into Arcane for pure caster or Conjure for an attacker hybrid.

[neeks.]

Same. I wanna try a lightning-mage. Sizzling.

[Charade]

She looks like your standard, run of the mill spellcaster so far, but from what I've seen her spells are much more interesting than the old sorceress and such. Definitely looking forward to using her.

[neeks.]

There isn't really much room for spellcasters, since, going by their names, they probably fight only with spells. So the only unique thing that they can have are their spells.

Aye, I know how you feel.

[Anön]

Arcane type is nice for support. My god I can't wait to play Diablo 3 after reading all the classes.

[Kwiz]

Can't wait to start play the Wizard!

[Anön]

Can the Hydra on the Conjure Tier move or is it stationary?

[neeks.]

Not sure of it yet. I do think it'll be stationary though.

[Anön]

Well that fails, they should've made a tier with elemental summons.

[neeks.]

If they made a pure-summon tier, wouldn't be be a little over powered?
