Barbarian is the ONLY class to return from D2 !

When Blizzard announced the first two classes in Diablo III, the Barbarian and the Witch Doctor, at least one fan of the series was taken aback by the class rehash. That would be me, for the purpose of this post. After enduring such a long wait for the third Diablo installment, why resuscitate the Barbarian, when there are plenty of perfectly good fantasy game archetypes still left to explore?

Diablo III lead designer Jay Wilson says the reason is simple. The Barbarian in Diablo II could've been better. He was a bit more diplomatic in his dissing, saying that the brute force attack class had "room for improvement."
There's one class that definitely won't be coming back for another appearance in Diablo III. And Wilson says that it was because that class was just shy of perfectly designed.


The Necromancer, he said, was simply a victim of his own success. He was just too well crafted as a character, something that Wilson's Blizzard design cohorts, current and former, likely don't mind hearing. Necro fans on the other hand, probably won't be too thrilled to learn of his disappearance, despite the Witch Doctor class's similarities.


Wilson says that there are absolutely no plans to bring back any other classes in the initial release, but, given that Blizzard wasn't breaking any news at Games Convention, wouldn't dish any details on what the remaining three classes will be.


We have a sneaking suspicion that Blizzard will take advantage of its own event, BlizzCon, to make such an announcement. (C'mon, Bard! We really want to serenade Diablo's minions to death.)

Claw ShopBot v1.3

Change Log
==========
v1.3
-Fixed problem with shopping at other Shops other than Anya and Gambling with Claw Loaded but not running(I hope)
-Added "ForceSockets" to ClawItems.ini (Set to 1 to force a set number of sockets, instead of it being a minimum value, see explanation below)
-Changed Prefix/Suffix/Skill be NoN-CaSe SenSiTIVE (you can put lowercase or uppercase, it doesn't matter now) HOWEVER, ItemName is STILL CaSe SenSiTiVe
-Greatly optimized the way it compares items and looks for matches (No longer checks everything if one check fails, it simply moves on to the next item) It should now be MUCH faster at in each cycle.
-Changed Logging to show all of the stats of the item it's finding matches for, so now you can see the Prefix, ItemName and Suffix stats of the items it's looking at when it finds matches.
-Fixed a minor spelling issue with Quhab's (they were Qhab's instead of Quhab's)
