Diablo 3 Anyone?
0
Possible Classes from someone who researched. These are not official:
1. Barbarian
+ Takes the position of a melee warrior and brute.
2. Witch Doctor
+ Takes the position of a spirit shaman with added abilities of necromancy including parts that focus on either healing, support, or summoning.
3. Druid
+ (From what I've seen based on art, trailers, locales, and what would be in such a continuation... it seems that a Druid is most likely going to be in it, as that brings together a hybrid capable of becoming melee, summoner, or elementalist, or other forms depending on the changes that the skill sets will receive.)
I'd also like to point out that since druids aren't enemies that putting a druid in the art trailer really did fortify this assumption.
4. Sorcerer
+ (Seeing as how this is one of the default classes that has stayed in the series since its creation, it makes perfect sense that they would keep it, especially since the "magic user" is one of the main mindsets that possible players will be under.)
Seeing as how the term Sorcere(o)r is one of more powerful magic control, but less versatility and numbers, it makes sense that with the line of thought that the game has gone in terms of how they are looking at classes, that they would stay with this name and just branch the gender-esque name.
This is further fortified by the fact that there is a picture of a "Magi" in the art trailers as well... though as we learned with the Sorceror Boss, that could just be an npc or enemy... though it makes more sense that it was a possible sketch of what one of said class would look like.
5. Assassin
+ Despite my disregard of anything that "hits" people physically, or relies on pure physical force to win, it is obvious that the rogue and hence the assassin, is an integral part of the series, and thus an assassin makes a logical counterargument towards class inclusion.
The only class which I actually have no physical proof... it does bring the hybrid sense along... although I would hope and most likely assume that the stealth element would be given more consideration, allowing for a greater effect for single player or group player rogues, not basing off of WoW elements or other stealth / gank traits, but more towards what rogues have been in the older Diablo series, and of course what they have been in other RPG games.

I'm freaking excited!
And i've been lurking forums all day, to see a bunch of idiots going like ''This is going to kill WoW!'' , I *facepalm* towards them since its made by the same freaking company.
Blizzard is a freaking awesome company... Warcraft / Starcraft & Diablo are always awesome :)
edit: the gameplay movie was fucking amazing
edit2: WOW @ the final fight in that movie

Hey wheres the Paladin in your list.The Paladin is like the Spinal Chord of the Party.Also to be the greatest warrior to be known of carrying the Holy Blessing from the Heavens.I love the Paladin Class.Love the way You Zeal the enemies.Also support the Party with Different Auras.This class is a Must be in the Diablo series.
After all D1 has the Warrior.D2 has the Barbarian and the Paladin which I think rooted from the warrior class in D1.

The only two classes I liked in D2 were the Assassin and the Druid. Incidentally, they are both from the expansion. The only problem I had with the Druid was that his Werewolf form was too underpowered. I can make a decent Werewolf, but it still wasn't as good as an elemental Druid.
Also:
-You just need to walk on gold to pick it up. :-D
-The girl in the Diablo 3's artwork trailer is called Leah: explanation: we see this girl with Deckard in the artwork trailer (she looks like her apprentice or something like that) and the Barbarian says (in the gameplay video): Back to town with you, Deckard. Leah worries after you.
-Item placement is the same as in WoW 1 item = 1 square
-Shoulder slot for items :-p (Barbarian is equipping plated pauldrons in the gameplay video)
-Leg slot for items (Barbarian is equipping plate Leggings in the gameplay video)
-We see a [Minor Lethality Rune] and a [Minor Power Rune], I guess that means runes are back :-D
-The 2 unidentified runes that were on the Blizzards Splash Screen can be found in the Cains journal at page 13 o.0
-In the artwork trailer we can see a red-haired woman wearing a wolf helmet (+ a cobra in her left hand and a mace in her right hand), maybe its a Druid ? ;-D
-Diablo has no soulstone(in his forehead) in the cinematic trailer! :-O ( assuming the demon roaring in the trailer is diablo, it is probably him, because he also appears in thje splash screen)
-Also Diablo has mouths on each of his shoulders now :-P
ZOMBIE WALL.
Zombies rule.
Zombies are definitely awesome.

Elemental druids we're hacked. Hurricane you couldn't even get near them. You had to be a sorceress to kill them. I fooled around and made so many characters in that game. My Necro was my favorite but my zeal-adin was my greatest triumph. I invented the zeal-adin and it was sha sha and bang ba bang bang ba bang.

I'm certainly looking forward to it. Though it's a little sad that unless they decide to be very un-blizzard like we pretty much know what all the classes are already.

I hope since it's been so long since the last game that there will be a lot of classes. Really Who would want 10 or so classes. That'd be really bitch'n! They should keep all the old classes and add new ones. If necro isn't in then I'm going witchdoctor.

10 classes would be stupid. Blizzard likes to keep each class distinct and make sure they have very little overlap. More than 8 would be ridiculous.
Anyway, I decided to do an Audiosurf of the Tristram music from Diablo 1 to commemorate the addition of Diablo 3. I ripped it straight off of the disc.
Edit: I just read someone say "Forget Diablo, give me this." (Tim Buckley) in reference to Gears of War 2. Is it bad that now I want to kill said person and I hate them with every fiber of my being? I've never thought of myself as a fanboy to anything... but this must be how fanboys feel when their games/anime/movies/books/etc. are knocked.
I don't think I'm going to read CAD anymore now that I know that the creator is a fag.

blizzard has announced that there will be 5 classes in diablo 3!
if they don't keep both assassin and necromancer, then there will be hell to pay!

I guess your right purifier. Having 10 classes would have a lot of overlapping of skills. I still hate the damn druid. As much as I loved the characters skills the only one anyone ever made was a hurricane druid. I would yell at people "WHAT IS THE POINT OF PLAYING IF YOUR ONLY GOING TO USE THAT SKILL ONE SKILL!"

I'm pretty sure they made it so it pathed around the enemies on purpose.

I was always a shifter druid probably the coolest. Diablo is hands down for me the greatest way to relieve stress. When I'm pissed off just turn it on and nearly limitless things to kill.

For fans of Diablo (or anyone of fantasy) who haven't taken the time to read any of the books, I offer you one that isn't too long and is a really good read. It takes place something around 100 or so years before the first game. I have a .pdf that isn't copy protected (I also bought myself an eBook version since it can't be found in print anymore.) for all of you. Click the image to download it from megaupload. It isn't the greatest quality, but if you like it please buy it. It can be found on the original publishers website for a measly $3.50.

Also for any fan of the Diablo games you just have to love the Cow level. Scary shit right there. I've been corned so many times. It makes it worse as a necro because you have the bone wall. At first it's a blessing but then you realize your just prolonging your death. Once I had stayed up for 2 days straight playing Diablo. I started to think it was real and I was literally tripping out in the Cow level thinking I was going to die.

Seriously look at this pick. Just Imagine being swarmed by thousands and thousands. Scary shit right here.

They really got us with their teaser on their main page, it went from ice to a hell fire, who would've thought it was D3? But too many people expected it to be D3 from the start, *creams himself*, again.
I'm holding off on building a new rig until 2009 or so for SC2 then D3 sometime in 2010? Throw in WC4 please even if the possibles are slim.
