This idea of blizzard of giving characters skills they don't have, isn't neccesarily a bad idea. The chance it goes bad is very big though (especially for that big part of BNet that uses duped/hacked items)...
For some twisted reason I really like to play amazons, in every form (and not the least the spearie ^^).
How many times didn't I want teleport, or leap to get out of a crowd? hundreds of times.
Do I really want leap or teleport on a spearie? Not really. It would take the thrill away of watching your back and being sure you can escape. knowing if you can take the hits you're gonna take and know you'll leech back enough to live (Gogo bouncy red ball!).
staffazons/axeazons/... with zeal
they'd just be bad palladins.
OTOH it opens new possibilities:
Singing barbs with teleport! be even more sorc!!
The pally shield with +10 hydra: it ain't powerfull enough, but it adds style
In the end you decide what you think is a fun build, and when you play legit and with good friends, why would you want lvl 15 BO if your friend the barb has lvl 20+?
Spend your hard found runes on something better (like a silenced mat spear)
Even so I think Blizz could have found something better then those UberRunewords. Make some runewords everybody can make. Lionheart, smoke, wealth, stealth, lore... all great runewords, and achievable for the normal gamer.
Same thing with some uniques, I found some great ideas on this site! How about Blizz 'stealing' some ideas :ph34r: , and adding even more versatility to the game?
Dual wielding wandazon anybody? (I tell you: it'll work, I know it! all Ph34r teh wand!)
