Movement

Normal Movement in Diablo 3 consists of Left Clicking on a point on the screen and your character will move to that location. Holding down the mouse button will make your character follow the mouse pointer. Holding down Shift and Left Clicking will make your character face in the direction of your mouse pointer. Currently there is no WASD feature in place to allow you to move with just the keyboard.


Movement Abilities

Each Class in Diablo 3 will have a Movement Ability. Movement abilities will allow players to travel quickly from one point on the screen to another. These skills will be useful for either fleeing from enemies or for closing the gap on enemies.

Movement Abilities will be essential for survival for most character builds, especially when fighting in the PvP Arena. The following is a list of each Class' Movement Ability in Diablo 3:

Barbarian: The Barbarian's Movement Ability is Leap Attack. The Barbarian can Leap into the air and on the way down, deal damage to all enemies in the vicinity. Leap Attack can also be used by the Barbarian to escape from danger. There will also be some environmental gaps that the Barbarian will be able to Leap across, rather than going the long way around.



Demon Hunter: The Demon Hunter's Movement Ability is Vault. The Demon Hunter can tumble acrobatically away from enemies. Vault can be used to get to a safe firing distance. Considering the fact that the Demon Hunter's main Class advantages are power Ranged Attacks, this Movement Ability is very crucial to the Demon Hunter's survival. Use Vault to avoid enemy attacks so you can take as little damage as possible.


Monk: The Monk's Movement Ability is Dashing Strike. The Monk can quickly close on Ranged Attack Enemies and deal serious damage before the enemy can get away. Since most of the Monk's skills are Melee, being up close and personal with enemies is a must. Dashing Strike is a very important Skill for the Monk, especially against Ranged Classes in the PvP arena.




Witch Doctor: The Witch Doctor's Movement Ability is Spirit Walk. The Witch Doctor enters the Spirit Realm for a short period of time, where the Witch Doctor's movement is unhindered. Without crowd control Skills, such as Horrify or Mass Confusion the Witch Doctor must have Spirit Walk to escape from danger. Horrify and Spirit Walk will be crucial for survival, especially in the PvP arena.





Wizard: The Wizard's Movement Ability is Teleport. The Wizard will instantly transport from one point on the screen to another (Exactly like the Sorceress Teleport Spell in Diablo 2). This Skill will be necessary to instantly Teleport away from enemies. Again, as most Movement Abilities are, Teleport will be crucial for the Wizard's survival, especially in the PvP arena.
