Once installed it would patch though, which will get you what you need.
At which point you're advocating ... what? At that point the servers will be up, so legitimate players will be able to play.

Plus, I believe the server acts similarly to an MMO: no server, no mobs.

I am not sure what you think I am saying? I have a legitimate D3 license, I bought the game. It's more about the fact of having it downloaded and fully installed for the minute D3 launches instead of hoping your download doesn't suck, due to the hordes of people downloading it at launch.

You are correct though in the server, the server 100% handles mobs, npcs, health, damage, etc. But you are wrong in the thought that getting it downloaded, installed, and patched ahead of schedule was in relation to having a private server.

Ah. Well, we know there's going to be a day one patch as it is, and they'll likely leave that as late as possible - so even if we we're fully patched now, we're unlikely to be on release.

Never played any of the Diablo games before, this will be my first. My partner and I are looking to Co-Op it all! One of the main reasons I'm getting it, besides loving loot games. She ALWAYS plays as a mage, so she'll be going a Wizard.

Going by WoW (which I know might be a bad idea here) it would make sense for me to go a Barbarian and offer some protection/tanking? It seems to make sense to co-op a caster like a Wizard with a melee character like a Barbarian.

Or does it really simply not matter and any duo work well from start to finish?

There really isn't tanking and dps so to speak. It's pretty much a free for all in most cases. I think that a solid team would be a barb and a monk. Be the same as a tank and heals except both can do dps and heal themselves (but the barb can take more damage, and the monk can heal).

If the barb is close to how they were in the first and second... it will be all about a little life steal, a little mana steal, and a lot of WirlWinding about :)

keep in mind on Monday morning at 8:01AM PDT you will be able to install the game from the pre downloader. that way you can have it ready to go and fully patched prior to the actual release of the game w00t
