A potion throwing and drinking class

[wheel-of-doom]

I don't know if anybody else enjoyed potion throwing(as completely useless as it was) as much as I did, but I imagine it would be a rather interesting to have a class based around potion making, throwing, and drinking.

I would really enjoy running around furiously tossing orange and green potions and actually be able to kill things effectively. And not the slow potion tossing of Diablo 2. Im talking about pitching them like baseballs and violent explosions and fire incinerating mobs, along with blinding acids and deadly poisons(like to think of lightning fury type effect with fire splashing out from the first enemy hit). Many other possibilities exist.

Aside from potion tossing, potion drinking could range from restorative to self buffs for melee combat. That's right melee combat. I would like to see this class have the capability to use their potions to give them defense and strength to take enemies head on. Maybe having a higher level potion that beefs the character up with enormous muscles and allows you to rampage about with bare fists.

I think it would fit in well in Diablo 3, being a class built on a concept from diablo 2, as well as being somethin entirely new.

I think potion throwing is more of the withdoctors area.

Even so - I do like the idea. Doubt they'd make it, but fun to think about none-the-less...
