I believe amazon valkyre does have a CD lol
A TP scroll isn’t a skill…
I mean if we’re going to count superfluous stuff like TP scrolls and potions, you technically have 8 skill slots in D4 (including ‘T’ for TP and ‘Q’ for potion).
ok takeout TP scroll thats still like 9.
and i didnt include pots which were separate keys
But is this D2 or D2R?
I think the change was good to just 6 skills. It gives me a choice and i had fun in D3 and the D4 Beta
Yeah, they condensed the pots to one key. The list narrows…
Plague Jav
Valk
Shadow Warrior
Shadow master
Volcano
Armageddon
Hurricane
6 is not enough, and its particularly obvious for certain classes.
the real question is, what amount of pressable buttons wouldn’t be better for a diablo game?
that’s right, flipped your question on its head, and its not because i can’t provide proper reasoning for my position, but rather because i know you ain’t got a leg to stand on for yours.

My d2r hardcore barb used about 10-12 skills. so did my sorc* d2r hardcore
-blizzard
-fireball
-teleport
-call to arms (2 or 3 separate shouts)
-static
-town portal scroll
-energy shield
-frost shield
-probably forgetting something: glacial spike, telekenesis.
So before we get to Call to Arms which made me bind BO and BC, I was already using close to 10
100% correct, there is indeed an illusion of choice rather than an actual freedom of choice, and that’s because you’re always boxed into using 6 abilities.
imagine how much build variety and experimentation and most importantly how much fun people could have with the game if they were allowed to use everything that is at their disposal, based on the skills they have invested points in, or get for free from an item bonus.
Calm down i honestly just wanted to hear your opinion on this.
I think 6 is enough since it covers most of the need any class has for abilitys, at least in my opinion.
Eh…I meant illusion of choice because of skill balance and how viable it is in Torment difficulty.
It was no different with D2, if I remember reading the forum comments right, where you could make a YOLO build, but you would end up just doing something cookie-cutter at the end anyways.
Wrong. Valkyrie has no cooldown.
no spells in D2 has a cooldown.
this is a fact.
I got a rogue to lvl 25 too and couldnt even use a stealth move.
-Blade Shift
-Flurry
-Power Shot
-Dusk Shroud
-Shadow Imbuement
-Shadowstep
This is a build that could clearly also benefit from shadowclone, vanish, or a couple traps.

Valk has a 6 sec cd, many spells have cds in D2
How many fingers do you have on your left hand?
4
Done and done.
not much of a critical thinker nor very innovative, are you?
look, if you like your burger being made up of just the bun and nothing else, that’s cool, but the rest of us would like the paddy, onions, pickles, cheese, mustard and ketchup on ours.
none of those abilities have a cooldown.
Armageddon and Hurricane’s cooldown is literally not a cooldown, you simply can’t use those spells when they are already active.
To follow your example there.
Too many toppings on a burger make it nearly impossible to eat and just make it a sloppy mess instead of something amazing.

If you can’t use an ability for X number of seconds that’s a cd.
D2 has Cds ranging from 1 second to 6
Again, what did i do to get insultet?
I think its just pointless to use every skill available. I don’t think it helps to balance the ladder which this game will probably be balanced around.
Also, i think the people who want more buttons are a loud minority.
Btw if you just insult me again i will not respond.
