D3 Monk Skill Tree Preview

The full skill tree for the newly-announced Diablo 3 character, the Monk, has been posted. This article includes the full game description of every Monk skill in the Blizzcon build and all the skill stats. There's also some commentary about the skills, from hands-on testing at Blizzcon.

there have been about 50 monk articles so far from blizzcon, but this is the first with all the skills, and commentary on how well they all work.

The monks do look pretty evil :)

I'm VERY glad that they appear to have solved a major issue of mine in Diablo 2 - some skills just weren't worth putting past level 1 because they did a FIXED amount of damage. When you're in Hell difficulty even level 20 skills will do measly amounts of damage. Here, it seems that all of the skills will do a % of your weapon damage, or they explode with a % of their life energy as damage etc. If all skills are like this it should be a lot more balanced at the higher difficulties.

I don't have a PC that can run any games though so I am up the river without a paddle unless they release this bad boy on PS3. PS3 has a keyboard and mouse hookup so I am waiting for some PC gaming company like blizzard to finally support it and bring out a truly awesome PC title like Diablo III. Come on, Blizzard, for the sake of gamers like me put this thing on consoles!!! Anybody here think it can or will happen?

It's not getting released until 2011, and doesn't look like it will have massive hardware requirements. Enough time for you to save up for a medium-power rig. By the time it comes out, you'll be able to afford a beast of a PC to play it on.

Don't hold out for a PS3 release. They've said it's possible, but it would involve mapping the controls to a controller (even if it does support keyboard and mouse) and I'm not sure if they would want to do that to their game. It might also come out a lot later than the PC version.

On consoles soon when NCSoft starts shipping their mmos on ps3 w/ their exclusivity deal that probably most ppl forgot about. I bet in 2011 Sony will pull out ther NCSoft card right when MS think they finally got something. But I do want blizz games on my ps3 also especially w/ mouse and keyboard support as long as they still use the same bnet.
