pretty sure equipping a bow would override the basic auto. I think the basic auto is just there instead of the classic fisticuffs.

at least until i see a weapon that says X-class only.

Are you talking about this?

Because if so, I believe that’s the Sorceress’s Frost Bolt skill. From what has been shown thus far with Diablo 4, there doesn’t appear to be any basic/normal attacks that’s based on equipped weapons. If I’m wrong, then I’ll be happy on that.

oh crap.

they labeled all bows with

Rogue

dang they are so bad at making games.

LIKE, 90% OF THE FUN IS THEORYCRAFTING. HOW ARE THEY SO BAD AT GAMES, IT’S LIKE THEY DONT EVEN PLAY THE GAMES AND NEVER GREW UP ON DIABLO GAMES EVER. THEY ARE GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION TO MAKING A GOOD ARPG.

YOU THINK PEOPLE SEE PATH OF EXILE SKILL TREE AND IT’S MASSIVE AND THEY ARE LIKE SIZE QUEEENS AND NEED A HUGE TREE??? NO THEY SEE IT AND IT’S DEEP AND THEY UNDERSTAND THEY CAN THEORYCRAFT A LOT OF STUFF OUT OF IT AND IT’S INTERESTING AND HAS A GOOD PERSONALITY. IT MAKES THEIR BRAIN THINK AND FEEL GOOD AND DOESNT PUT THEM TO SLEEP. THAT’S WHY WE NEED THEORYCRAFTING AND DEPTH, NOT THIS 3RD GRADE MOBILE GAME AUTO ATTACKS.

As far as I know, there is no basic attack in the game. Which is indeed really, really bad.

And yeah, Barbs should be able to use throwing axes, bows etc. Sorcs should be able to use bows, swords etc.

Proof?

I sure hope that is an old and wrong picture.

God, there is so much wrong with that item.

Rogue only? Absolutely ridicilous.
+76 All Stat :woman_facepalming: Look at how large a % of the characters total attributes would come from that one item…
140 dex, what. How much dex did was it they said you get per lvl, 5?
12% crit chance… seriously.

Please, just cancel D4 already, if this picture is remotely true. Dont do this :frowning:

It is a spell demonstration. And might be a generator spell.

auto atack demonstration

There are no auto attacks in D4 as far as Blizzard has shown. Unfortunately.

Yeah, because the skill doesn’t cost any mana.

Here’s a video of the skill at work and how it doesn’t use up any mana.

I do hope they have actual basic attacks in the game. If they really insist on having some kind of fancy animation to it just make it unique to the weapon so it’d be something like firing an enchanted arrow(that does normal damage and costs no mana).

If they’re going to have resource generating spells though, I can’t imagine them thinking that a basic attack is really needed because you’d never really use it. You’d always be spending or regenerating mana(or whatever your class resource is).

Sadly that’s why I don’t think we’ll have basic attacks. I think every class will have a skill that generates resource along with class specific weapons.

You might still need basic attack, since generator skills might not work with the weapon you wanted.
Well, unless they make sure to design them to work with all weapons, in which case, yeah, that would be fine as basic attacks too. Just not sure how that would work in terms of animations. Like if you use frost bolt with a bow, does the sorc magically enchant the arrow with the frost bolt?

Seems much better and easier to just have a base attack.

If they do it like they did in Immoral, it will be a simple level 1 skill which is unique to the class and has no cost to use. The skill will not be affected by weapon at all and will function as a “basic attack” For example if it’s Sorc with the ice ball, even if you had a sword or melee weapon equipped the “basic attack” would still be the iceball and weapon choice won’t affect it. Also from Immoral at some further higher level you are able to choose to change this attack to something else. In the Sorc example it was Electrocute and while running around with a sword it indeed behaves like a basic attack unaffected by weapon type. That being the skill shoots a bolt of lightning out at range even while wielding a melee weapon.

Personally I don’t like it but I have a feeling that is the direction they are going since it seems many of the systems in Diablo Immoral are test platforms for what they have in mind on D4.
