Force just posted another great video -- this one showing how quickly a lvl 13 Barbarian can bully his way through the beta. 14 minutes, 38 seconds to be exact. However, Force commented that he may have stopped to smell the roses a bit much, and perhaps could have gotten that number closer to 14 minutes flat. Force's Barb is clearly a bit overpowered for the content, but it's … [Read more...]
Diablo 3 Beta Game Play Video: Barbarian
Force Strategy Gaming has put together an excellent series of Diablo 3 Beta class walkthroughs, entitled "Let's Play". The first offering in their ongoing series of 3 part videos features an early look at the Barbarian class.

Epic Barb Armor
A thread was recently started in the official Battle.net forums regarding a Blizzard quote about a new Barbarian armor model that had been introduced into the game.

Barbarian Fury System in Diablo 3
...or "Fury traffic Light" as Mike Nicholson, the Senior Artist for Diablo 3, put it. Blizzard is working a new system for Barbarians that is much like the rage system in World of Warcraft. A Barbarian's fury will be the reverse of mana, in the sense that it builds up while in a battle where hostile attacks are being received and delivered. Currently the developers are using a … [Read more...]
Diablo 2 is Already Out?!
I was unaware of the fact that Diablo II had already hit the shelves just before I'd purchased the original Diablo game. I was a little behind the times, which was most likely the reason I was able to pick up the "classic" Diablo game for only $9.99. Needless to say, once I realized there was a sequel, I was all over it. It just so happened that upon a return visit to Costco, … [Read more...]
