Greed

By:
Last Updated:

Greed is the Baroness of the Treasure Realm and mistress of all of the Treasure Golbins the Nephalem (player-controlled characters) encounter in Diablo 3. Every once and a while, a Goblin leaves the door to her vault open, and players can fight her for the chance at more of her treasure.

I designed her character in HOTS as a secondary tank/bruiser character with the ability to solo lane in a respectable but not dominant fashion, or, in a really greedy move, roam with the 4-man to which she would contribute less than a tank with more reliable engage like ETC or Muradin. The downside to this is it forces the team to get a hero who is a more reliable main tank who can also solo lane (eg: Arthas). However, her trait increases the experience she gets from things she kills herself by a small amount (moreso for heroes) but makes her give more experience as well. Greed can begin to snowball her team just by holding the solo-lane or better yet participating in a successful 4-man rotation. But she lacks the reliable self-sustain of many tanks, and presents a juicy target for the enemy team. Played well, Greed relies on the, well, greed of her enemies to chase her kill, and punishes them if they fail to secure it. She can become a late-game powerhouse for those who can reliably land her skillshots, with a level 20 talent that allows her quests to scale past their limit.
