Quote:Even then, if you were doing awesome damage whacking things with a wand, I'd still find it boring after 1-2 hours. Or minutes.
the same goes for all all barbarian attack skills except for bash(it moves the monster, therefore something else happens), and whirlwind. you just stand there hitting them untill they fall dead for the other skills.
i know not all people think like this, but in the beta(when i started playing again) i've only played a hammerdin, bowazon a bit, and now a sorc. the other (sub)classes a minute or two, but they bored me to death, and hurt my hands due to pressing a mousebutton for too long.
many might find that bowazons are boring to play, but the fact you can aim at different places(not just poke the nearest monster...then the next), piercing shots(again shooting different places and positioning yourself, to make the pierced arrow hit several targets) and area effect attacks makes them for me a million types more fun for me than melee characters.
those kind of things could of been added to melee characters, like spears piercing(just like arrows) through monsters by chance with your pierce skill, or having axes hit 2 monsters in a row, things like that. but now there's just a few unique melee skills, others have different damages(or casts a spell which another class already has, wow how variated) and sometimes autohits at several targets, which is even more boring.
