Disintegrate not new - Page 2

I'll agree with Konfeta on that.

Skill based loot loss in a loot based game makes that skill virtually worthless.|||no one really cares|||Diablo III has a TON of inspiration from D&D. Disintegrate is just one, Magic Missile another classic. Read through the skills we've finished so far, and you'll see more than one relating to D&D |||Indeed that is no new news. Alot of skills look a bit like D&D stuff that we have seen in games like Baldurs Gate or have even the same names like D&D skills. The leaning towards that direction is becoming more and more apparent.|||The concept of a magical hurty-beam isn't exactly a new thing in fantasy games, in general.|||Actually Sacred 2 has a version of it,it tends to lock on enemies though but anything walking through the beam gets hit,to make it rotate like D3 would require the range to be cut as it has massive range(too long because enemies dont retaliate beyond a certain distance).Archimedes Beam its called.

Unless it deals some viable damage even in late game... it seems weak.

What would be really nice was if the Wizard could run while casting this spell. Advance casting, retreat casting, walk sideways to avoid projectiles, that stuff.|||Quote:

isn't Inferno and Arctic Blast bugged ?

Inferno only does 1/2 the damage its supposed to

if they fix it in the 1.13 patch, maybe it'll be worth it|||I think Diamond Weapon in FF7 blasts a disintegration beam into the Northern Crater.|||Disintegrate would be nice for certain areas like corridors and tight tunnels where the monsters have to stay in the beam. and you have a tank in front of you or they are slow moving creatures.

I hope arctic blast and inferno are fixed. They would be nice for such areas.
