Weapons

Introduction

Weapons in Diablo III are largely similar to weapons in Diablo II. A few notable differences are enhanced elemental effects (ice, fire, and lighting are seen in the gameplay video), improved weapon statistics display, and an ever-present sell value that saves you a trip to the vendor for pricing information. It is unconfirmed whether durability will be returning, but it is not seen in any of the media released thus far.
