Let's guess D3 classes!

As most of you probably know, Diablo 3 will have 5 classes in total. Two of them have already been revealed, The classic Barbarian and a newcomer, the Witch Doctor. That leaves us with three more spots to fill! Which ones will return? Can you think of any totally new classes, such as the Witch Doctor?

 

wait, didnt they say that the number of classes wasnt decided yet?

 

I thought the witchdoctor wasn't a totally new class - it's merely the new necromancer, isn't it? And I mean skill wise, not that he uses zombies instead of unded...

 

Says in the FAQ;

We’re developing Diablo III to be the definitive action role-playing game, and a true continuation of the Diablo series. Players will create a hero from one of five distinct classes, such as barbarian or witch doctor, each equipped with an array of spells and abilities. As these heroes adventure through rich and varied settings, unraveling an epic storyline and engaging in combat with hordes of monsters and challenging bosses, they’ll grow in experience and ability and acquire items of incredible power.

 

strange in the Q&A they said otherwise

 

Barbarian - Barbarian
and the Witch Doctor looks a lot like the Necromancer
i think At least some Mage Class / Sorcerer will be in, you know with fire/water/electric etc.

 

shapeshifter.

coolest class ever. maybe a mix between the druid and the pally. not jsut a few random animals, but a wide variety and perhaps the ability to turn into a monster like some hacked items would let you do in D2. that's be major epicness. slodoing between animal, beast, and human form. they'd also have some summoning spells, perhaps a posession spel on monsters, too. I think they'd be a fine mix of power.

 

Definately a mage class like furrer said
Most likely ranged class like rogue/amazon in previous games

Shapeshifter is another possibility since it'd be different from others

 

Yeah, a ranged/ranger class probably too. So thats 4. The last could be a shapeshifter, or a type of tank.

 

The new Barbarian looks kinda like the old barbarian, but with the Charge ability from the paladin. he has the old Battle Cry for extra defence, the classic Whirlwind and Hammer of the Ancients looks nice statwise.

The Witch Doctor seems like a sorceress/necromancer hybrid. I like the Lucust Sawrm ability, kinda like the druids rabies in LoD. Good to see Confusion is in there, I love that curse. The Wall of Zombies is just awesome.

I think there will be an assassin type class, hiding, maybe poison and striking from the shadows.

Some kind of new master archer will be in the game, but not a rogue or an amazon.

 

Gotta have the paladin... It is a siege on heaven...can't have heaven without paladins.

 

vampire class would be tight, too. or like, members of an underground accult with black magic type things. they could bea mix of the sorc and assassin, maybe somethign new, too. there'd be a plethora of options with a vampire type hybrid unit. xD

 

What about a werewolf like unit, thats a mage at day and a warior at night?

Hey, a question: Will the game be with a day/night cycle?

 

maybe the vampire and werwolf are new modes for teh necromancer

and i think it will

 

magicalness

 

well we know there are 4 types of classes thuse far that will be a must cause there in basicly every freaking rpg and i say arrows in the demo drop.

Barb
Mage
Amazon/Ranger
Witch doc.

But this is a game about heaven vs hell. NEVER forget the pally...................

 

Yeah a:
Tank
Mage
DPS (ranger often)
Necro or Stealth

 

On the artwork trailer for D3, there's a woman wearing animal-part armor and even a cobra staff.
1:21 to 1:26.

Kurai will probably be right about a shapeshifter.

 

Nice find Willy, and cool avatar.
i think they will come up with some amazing classes. I always thought the D2 classes where 10 times better then those from the other games back then.

 

Stealth is fine for most rpgs but I don't think it fits in diablo. It's a game where one/few heroes fight off hordes of monsters at once, no time for sneaking around
