The Mysterious Fifth Class

[Samael88]

WHAT ARE HIS POWER LEVEL!?!?!?!

now that i got that out of my system...

I did not know how to put it, but I guess you know what I mean anyway

Why do you think they have to follow the norm of their previous game, the 5th class for all we know could very well be another melee class, and they could say "yea, we're done with bows"

or hell, they might even introduce guns... i doubt it, but y never know.

I personally could care less what the 5th class is, I'm just glad the Monk is back in action

That was actually not a bad thought.
They could actually introduce pistols and make it quite good anyway, as they did with fable 2, not saying that they need to do the same way, but it could actually be cool if they pulled it of in a good way

And god forbid a barbarian running around with a M16 tho:thdown:

Personally, i'm gonna go with a Paladin, i don't see the reason to put a bow wielding class in the game JUST cause it was in the other games, and monks never fight with armor or shields, just with their staff, so the only class that would use melee weapons (In general) at this point would be Barbarian. Why go to the trouble of making a bow/xbow type of a character when they could just slap a shield on a guy and make him a knight of some sort. Like a really tough defensive character with strong but slow hits (mace type weapon). And sneaking/healing etc.. is not diablo style really

I see a stealth archer in there. Little bit like Striker. A "ranger" or "rogue" : D
On the other hand, I'd love it if other classes could be using ranged weapons equally well as melee weapons...
Guns and I'm out.

 

[Samael88]

Guns and I'm out.

Well, perhaps we should not be to surprised if that turns out to be the case, after all they did have explosive potions in D2, that means that they have gunpowder

I for one would love if they had the same type of guns as they have in Torchlight, going akimbo with those bastards is just awesome:thup:

 

[Dalemil]

Doubtful of a "healer" class. The red orbs aren't there for nothin'

 

[Slapshot136]

what are his power level!?!?!?!

over nine thousand!!!

couldn't resist

 

[Demerzel2]

Hoping it will be a ranger .

Im guessing it will follow along the lines of a druid since that was a succesful class in Diablo 2. From what ive seen, their picking the elements most used in Diablo 2. Barb to bring back the most favorite class, Wizard to bring back to sorc, witch doctor is the necromancer remake, Monk is kinda in a class of its own but could be compared to a pally since both Monks and paladins fight for the light. So I'm guessing maybe a druid assasin hybrid?

 

[Jedimindtrixxx]

im still almost positive about a bow class. maybe a amazon druid mix? bow with pets? i dk

 

[sqrage]

Don't forget that there's gonna be an expansion...

 

[Whitesock]

I think it would make sense that there would be a ranged physical-dmg-type of class, seeing as they don't really have one at the moment.

 

[Sharp]

over nine thousand!!!

couldn't resist

"Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level?"
- It's over nine thousand!!!!

I remember watching this over nine thousand times.

Barbarian > Barbarian
Sorceress > Wizard
Necro > Witch Doctor
Pally > Monk
Amazon > ????

What about the Druid? Or assassin?

and guys there doesn't need to be a ranged bow class xD. For all we know certain classes will be able to use bows. And we already have ranged classes. If anything it looks like we need another melee

 

[SerraAvenger]

pally+assassin -> monk
necro+druid -> witchdoctor
No, a stealthy, nature magic, or ranged character is still missing. I predict something rogue/ranger-like.

Guys, we need to take a notice on one thing. Blizzard is actually a marketing genius. Take a look at most of their games. They release a main one, provide free battle.net, and we for a while play, for instance normal Diablo2 or Warcraft3. After a while they release an expansion, Lord of Destruction and Frozen Throne. It's basicly a must to have it to play on battle.net! You can play nearly no games without expansion on Warcraft3, and entire market on Diablo2 is related to expansion. Starcraft and it's Broodwar is no different and so World of Warcraft. Thing is that they add really few things in those expansions and charge for them as for original, basic copy! We must take to our consideration a fact, that the same thing might (or will) happen in Diablo3 so I would be really careful with talking about classes so far.

We have a violent warrior - a Barbarian (D2 Barbarian), a holy and blessed warrior - a Monk (D2 Paladin), cursed hero reladed to grief and sadness - a Witch Doctor (D2 Necromancer), a hero who can controll magic and elements - a Wizard (D2 Sorcress) and now quite possibly - a Ranger (D2 Amazon) so please consider, we might not have at least 7 heroes in the very release of Diablo3. We might see more of them after a while.

amazon/rogue + druid -> ranger
