What do you expect from the Duelist?
Similar to the others, you can discuss here, what do you expect from the newly announced Strength/Dexterity hybrid class, the Duelist.
For me, if I can mention another game, I totally expect a healthy mix between the play styles of a 'Fury Warrior' and a 'Combat Rogue' which is awesome. I expect the Duelist to excel not at tanking bosses and taking on hordes of monsters without flinching but a potent and powerful dual wielding fighter whose strengths lies in his dexterity. (duh..:)) Haste, crits, and huge bursts, those what I hope to see. |

A very MOBILE, fast and heavy-hitting fighter (not as heavy as the Marauder, of course).
Duelist will probably excel at mobility, speed, getting in and out of bad places. Here since Closed Beta. Never found a Mirror. Still love PoE. :- )

Second marauder, but different animation woohoo...

No matter how much people tried to figure out what character it will be - no one could. I like how GGG try to not copy characters from other games.
i dont know what i expect from him? one thing for sure - he will be one of my characters. Description of the duelist says everything you could expect. Repent! That's what i'm talking about!

I love it, me personally I love the type of character who uses two swords but the games I played him aviation used to be a somewhat heavy character or whether it was more flexible use only daggers which does not interest me.
But combined with this character that I like or at least 2 of the things that I like, sword in each hand and agility, I saw the video and I was impressed by the skills he has, I particularly liked a kind of disappear and reappear behind the enemy skies I love that. Will undoubtedly be the first character you start, well I'll have to see the combination of the other 2 characters are outstanding, if I see them out so impressive in a predicament :P | |
skill's for smart hit , and can use the stupid of enemey's in his side , and he can stop magic skills and have high HP
| |
I hope he can combine magic into his two swords and slash enemies with lighting speed or something like that :))

" ...wouldn't that be something to expect from the dexterity/intelligence class? I have wandered through insanity;
I have walked the spiral out. Heard its twisted dreamed inanity In a whisper, in a shout. In the babbling cacophony The refrains are all the same: "[permutations of humanity] are unworthy of the name!" | |
I tend to steer clear of dexterity focused melee classes due to their passive (read: boring!) play styles that focus solely on speed and damage. I can see the Duelist being very nimble on his own, but utilizing his skills to capitalize his advantage attacks that give a bonus to avoiding the next incoming blow or slowing his enemies' movement.
I am intrigued how GGG included mention of two-handed and ranged weaponry in the description of a class most people will only view as <i>the</i> dual-wield class. I am eager to see skills that support this alternate path of specialization! |
