Beta Challenge: Make/exploit Pure INT Marauder (gems, gear, wand). Strngth Witch, gear/gems etc

Basically let us push the envelope and discover if there really is anything beyond cosmetics in class differences and if they really do make a difference.

How: Make a strength/dex/int pure class and choose a different tree to roll, gems, gear etc. I want to see CLOTH on your Marauder, give him all INT gems. NO melee! etc.

The result of this could lead to some BIG changes: maybe limiting gear types to class, limiting gems...or at the every least make it so if a Marauder wears cloth he gets -5/-3/-2 stats,or if a Marauder is running around spamming frost spells they are basically worthless and ineffective..so there isn't an incentive or rather MORE of an incentive to spec into certain classes.

One person is already making an int marauder

that leaves a dex witch and a str ranger

let me know what you pick and I'll make the other

I don't think you really need to prove this is possible, it should be fairly obvious that it is. Your gem levels and gear will just come slower - that's all.

This is a good idea, it could also help finding some bugs along the way and check if everything is scaling correctly with the stats or abilities.

I'm a lvl 12 int marauder. It's not viable, but i'm going all the way till the end of act 2.

I don't see the problem with this being possible. It's still better to do it with a witch so I don't mind. Having the classes only make a cosmetical difference is only a good thing in my book.

I'm up for trying a Strength Ranger, I'm currently leveling a bow Duelist..

I feel like a Dex Witch, Int Ranger would be very viable and functional. have to find out.

That's really what it comes down to in the end, it is a beta. Let us find bugs in creative/fun ways!

So far the dex witch seems fairly viable and the only thing I can think of as I'm playing this is dex/int hybrid is going to own

Using a bow I'm using a bow and I'm level 3 so far I'll post again (or edit this post) when I'm level 10-12 and tell you if my opinion has changed any

Edit: level 8 died in a level 9 zone all in all tho if I take my time and stay in a zone my level (and not try to get ahead) using a bow the dex witch seems okay but isn't as good as a dex ranger or an int witch
