Diablo 3 Updates for Classes, Followers and Locations

Diablo 3 is wowing gamers aournd the world. There are some very interesting new thrills in the game that are heightened by the amazing new graphics, art, and music.

Initially, the makers of Diablo 3 - Blizzard - did not wish to repeat any of the character classes from the previous editions. But then, Diablo 3 would not be able to survive with all new classes. So, only some tweaks have taken place. The Barbarian is the only playable class character that has returned from the previous editions. But return of some character classes cannot be ruled out in the future.

Another aspect of Diablo 3 is the three different followers (similar to the henchman of Diablo 2). Followers can also carry a weapon this time along with two rings and a special item. The special item is specifically listed for each follower. A player can take along only one follower at a time though he is allowed to swap followers if the questlines for loyalty of another follower has been completed.

Confusing? It needn't be. Check out this pro game guide by a real pro gamer!

Diablo 3 Secrets

The easy part about followers is that each can get one out of three spells or skills chosen by the player at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20. A total of 12 skills have been listed for each follower.

For example, Eirena the Enchantress, can get at Level 5 Disorient / Forceful Push / Charm; at Level 10 Decoy / Reflect Missiles / Powered Armor; at Level 15 Focused Mind / Amplify Damage / Lowered Resistance; at Level 20 Energize / Energy Bomb / Guidance!

Some of the 'coolest' monsters in Diablo 3 include Beast, Crawling Torso, Dark Berserker, Walking Corpse, Dark Demon, Dark Vessel, Ghoul, Activated Vessel, Ghostly Orbs, Lamprey, Grotesque, Lamprey, Moon Clan Shaman, Moon Clan Warrior, etc.

The new game system allows an 'aftermath scene' with corpses! The corpses stay there even when the gamer moves on.

Diablo 3 is still played out in Sanctuary but there are a several more locations to explore. The initial town of Tristam is now the New Tristam. The Lost City of Ureh, newly-formed Arreat Crater, Xiansai (home of the female Wizard) are also there among other locations.

To ensure your game domination, here's a must have in your game arsenal!

What is the Main Plot of Diablo 3?

“It has been said that in the end of all things, we would find a new beginning. But as the shadow once again crawls across our world and the stench of terror drifts on a bitter wind, people pray for strength and guidance. They should pray for the mercy of a swift death... for I've seen what the Darkness hides.”

That is Leah narrating the cinematic trailer for Diablo 3. The game is as exciting as it sounds in that introduction. Possibly more.

Blizzard created Diablo 3 after years of research and it's all been worth it. The game is a riot of color, contrast and indulgence for the avid gamer.

The storyline begins two decades after the complete destruction of the world. It is set in Sanctuary – the dark and imaginary world that is the trademark of the Diablo series. Unnamed heroes had saved the world in Diablo 2 from the Armies of Burning Hell. But some heroes could not survive. A new generation of heroes has to now save Sanctuary from new threats. The old familiar settings like that of Tristam will be back. Deckard Cain – who was there in both the previous editions – will also be there. His niece Leah is a new character who will be there in some quests.

The main plot goes with two surviving Lesser Evils - Azmodan, Baal – and Black Soulstone. The world map includes two continents with several islands. Everything has changed because of the destruction of the World Stone beneath Mount Arreat. An invasion was to happen from Burning Hells but when it doesn't then Deckard Cain has to find out why. Diablo also returns despite his death.

Diablo 3 will end the main storyline but new storylines would be developed to not end the genre series, say Blizzard officials. There are some swell memorable characters in Diablo 3 too.

Another great aspect of the new Diablo storyline is that there are five classes, the Barbarian, the Witch Doctor, the Wizard, the Monk and the Demon Hunter. You can change the gender of the characters this time around and also use the auction-house system for trading in real-world cash. But the gender does not affect the abilities of the characters in any way. There is a background story for each of the characters which unfolds during the game. Diablo 3 is one power-packed entertaining struggle!

The Diablo Series in the gaming genre of fantasy has millions of fans across the planet spanning varying demographic profiles.

What are the three artisan classes of Diablo 3

Your weapons will be your best friends in the dark, deep, and dangerous world of Diablo 3. You could choose to go empty-handed and die thousands of miles below ground level, or choose the right weapons and save the world.

Artisans are those who would build and repair the weapons you use to destroy the Armies of Hell in Diablo 3. There are three artisans: Mystic, Jeweler, and Blacksmith. Here is a quick summary of how each artisan can help you.

Blacksmith Haedrig Eamon is the miracle guy with metal and heat. He can forge weapons, shields, helms, belts, suits of armor, and a range of paraphernalia for you. Haedrig can be good at repairing the items you are equipped with. He can also take care of the items in your inventory by restoring their full durability. Of course, he charges gold relevant to the level of difficulty.

Jeweler Covetous Shen also knows his job well. He is the master of gemcraft. He can use gems of even low quality for great results. Give it to Shen for excellent etching of sockets into pants, belts, helms, and shields. He can make any piece of equipment benefit from the power of gems. Shen is ready to help you with the other side also – that is with removing gems.

Mystic Myriam Jahzia can add magic to any item. Being a mystic she can see into the future. But, there is more to her powers. She could be your final call of defense. Myriam can make a weapon or piece of armor into a magical item gaining in strength, speed, and power. She can even put a magic spell on an item so it replenishes your life. You can seek her help for items in your inventory or with weapons you are carrying.

Myriam can see into the future but she will not tell you always what is to come. However, with the help of her powers she can judge what would be the best weapons for the future. That is why she is one artisan you must always return to for help if you wish to fulfill your destiny as the Diablo 3 dominator.

Who will be the followers in Diablo 3?

Would you be alone when the Armies of Hell come down to destroy the world of Sanctuary? As the saying goes, “Only fools and those who fancy themselves “brave” face their enemies alone. Who will stand beside you in the war for Sanctuary?” One of your followers, of course.

You would be able to choose from the three followers at various times during the war in Diablo 3. These are Templar, Scoundrel, and Enchantress. Here are the key features of each of the followers:

Templar Kormac is brave and can take on enemies with a subtle strategy. Kormac taunts enemies and makes himself the focus of their attack. He punishes by crippling enemies or slowing down their attack. Kormac heals with his faith. He can call the healing powers to spring you back to your healthy state with your natural state resource regeneration and healing. Kormac answers to the call of 'justice' in his own way. He is ferocious as an attacker and can cause very bad wounds to the enemies.

Scoundrel Lyndon is proficient in handling a wide range of weapons. He is able to shoot arrows tipped with poison, fire several bolts at one go, or shoot those all-destroying explosive. Lyndon is able to blind and cripple enemies with tricks and strategically fired shots. He can keep himself safe with great strategic thinking. The Scoundrel's biggest asset is that he has speed on his die. He loves to trick his opponents by sheer speed and is quick to share his strategic thinking with his friends.

Enchantress Eirena can cast magic spells that would leave your enemies permanently in a trance. She can also use her magic to make your enemies fight amongst themselves. Her favorite are the power waves to blast through enemies and send them flying into the air after the point of impact. She can project force shields to protect you from any danger and also turn a strong attack against enemy forces.

Don't forget that apart from the followers, you also have to choose your weapons wisely. Your followers and weapons would be your 'true friends' in this battle against the Armies of Hell. You can choose one of the three artisans – Blacksmith, Jeweler, and Mystic – to help you with your weapons. The only advice is: Don't go empty-handed and don't go alone.
