. Personally im excited to make a WD that focuses on the toads!! that will be fun.




Dude, Plauge of Toads SUCKS.

It looks like a joke of a skill.|||Why? What makes it suck? Just cause it looks awesome? Have you not seen the gameplay videos where the WD uses it all the time? Also, in D2 there were many sorceress that specialized in charged bolt, same idea. I like being different, and ill probably make a Toad Master!|||Well, A) As you said, it's not different, it's basically Charged Bolt.

B) What makes it sucks it its crappy animation. The idea is awesome but the animation is one of the reason the WD get so flamed all the time. Especially now that they've narrow down the seeking element of the Toads- Which was the main cool thing about them.|||I'm pretty sure that when the game gets out there will be enough variants of the WD to create. In the skill tree I saw some time ago there were a couple of different summons, and I'm also pretty sure you can play summonless. There are some direct damage skills and a skill like Swarm of Locusts (is that the name), that works like D2 Rabies but looks a lot cooler (and doesn't crash PvM games). The class is simply not finished yet.

Why anyone would play with summons? Ask anyone who likes the necromancer or non-ss druid, or who likes to have a Valkyrie or Shadow Master. It can provide safety so you can use ranged attacks (not everyone focuses only on melee), it can be an extra source of damage (or a different type). To me, always playing melee characters is boring. I like to play a barb for a few weeks, the switch to an Amazon, then a Trapsin, and after that perhaps a skellymancer. It keeps the game interesting.|||Quote:

matter of opinion, i think it looks awesome... not all skills need to be all flash and pizazz... they are frogs, and imo look good.
