I would think that's too specific for some kind of class. I mean, in diablo 2, the most specific class was the necromancer, you were going to deal with everything about the dead and negative energy, but you still had a ton of options to be able to use with it. Golems or skeletons, curses or poisons, offense or defense with bones. Something like what your suggesting could get real old real fast to the average gamer. The more you narrow it down to a specific field of interest the less interesting becomes. Barbarian you had TONS of builds because they could use and master any weapon, and then some other stuff, but imagine a barbarian who could only use the chain weapon effectively, sure a bomb is cool and some kind of whirlwind attack with the chain is nifty, but what if I wanted to use a barbarian with a sword or an axe? This is why diablo 2 was so addictive, it's because you could do so much with one character, 30 skills, and over 10,000 items.

Also, a morningstar has no chains on it whatsoever. Morning star is the stick and the spike-ball, the Flail is the stick, chain, and spike-ball.
