wizard skill look like star wars. - Page 3

I'm gonna be honest with you, i absolutely hate how it looks, i don't care it its an original skill in D&D or w/e, D&D has elves, Diablo shouldn't have elves and in the same vein Diablo shouldn't have freaking laserbeams. Diablo is based on Dark Age Europe, "laserbeams" do not fit in with the theme, "futuristic bubble shields" do not fit in with the theme. It looks completely out of place, it doesn't make me feel as if i'm in a middleage world where legends and magics and demons and angels are reality. I hope they rework their visuals.|||So all the other magic fits, but a beam of energy doesn't? If a mage can shoot a ball of fire why not a beam of plasma/energy?|||At last someone with some degree of belive, good one Telzen |||Quote:

Because a beam of energy is called "a laser".|||Quote:

I dunno, I'd only call it a laser if it originated from a gun.|||Quote:

"light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation"

That is a laser. A beam of energy is not a laser, it is simply, in this case, a concentrated heat beam.|||Seems like it might be plasma to me. My question is what is Ray of Frost? And how does Meteor Storm work inside? But hey its magic.|||Light is energy therefor it is a laser. The point isn't "is it possibly magical", the point is "does it look/sound/feel magical", the answer is "no".|||Yep it look like Laser |||Quote:

And a poodle is a dog. Do I need to spell out the rest of that phrase?

And yes it seems pretty magical to me, what with the lack of equipment, a material source for the beam, and no need for massive generators to produce it.
