Aura
,→Auras in Diablo 3?
It was long assumed that there would not be Auras in Diablo 3, since the Paladin is not returning as a playable character. That presumption was shaken by [[Jay Wilson]] during an October 2009 interview with Diii.net. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-exclusive-full-transcript/]
::''Diii.net: We saw 8 [[Monk skills ]] at [[BlizzCon 2009|BlizzCon]] (all detailed in Diablo Wiki). All were [[melee]] offensive or defensive. Can you give us some idea of what other skills the [[Monk]] will have at his disposal?
::Jay Wilson: Most of the Monk's skills will focus on combat skills and attacks, along with his various escape skills. And we talked at Blizzcon that we're likely to put some defensive and supportive abilities on him. Possibly Auras. We've not done the next round of skills on him yet so we’re not exactly sure.
::Jay Wilson: We definitely want to do that with one class. Whether or not it's the Monk hasn't yet been decided. The Monk does seem to be the logical choice. The only reason we might not do with him is that he's too logical.
From this it seems certain that we'll see auras on at least one of the characters in Diablo 3; most likely the [[Monk]]. The question then becomes how will they be controlled, since the D2 method seems incompatible with the limited RMB hotkeys /[[interface]] allowed by Diablo 3.
