How would you like a pure summoner class in d3?
I was thinking of how the barb is already a great enough fighter that we don't really need a knight/paladin-type of class in d3. That would just be overkill for fighters. In fact, the barb has many AoE attacks AND Blizzard is leaning away from party buffs.
So instead of a knight or cleric for the last unknown class (we know pretty well there is going to be an archer class), do you think there will be a pure summoner class? Pretty much all of his/her power comes from his/her army of minions, much like the summon necro, and like the necro, he could 'summon' better weapons and armor or w/e to make other builds instead of pet-based.
But yeah, for the most part he's known as the pet master class. We kind of need one in d3. Is the WD enough with his mongrels? I think not. Mongrels aren't really epic pets are they? Compare mongrels to the skeleton/mage/undead monster army of d2 and you can see we are in dire need of a REAL pet master in d3.
So I was thinking it would be awesome to play a pure summoner army commander pet master chr in d3. He/she could have elementals, sprites, golems of every kind, and so on. D2 introduced the druid with his summon tree EVEN THOUGH we already had summoning skills in the necro, so I figgure d3 can do the same by having two classes with pets (WD and pure summoner).
What do you think? Don't we all love how d2 had the necro summoner and we NEED something of at least equal caliber in d3?
