I just want druid with expanded werewolf skills and I'll be happy.

New idea about the other three classes:

Wizard
Conjuring; elements + 'arcane'
Summoning; golem, smaller monsters (most 3 at once) which can be combined in different ways
Enchants/Alterations: enchantments to make summons usefull and maybe shapeshifting for some meleeing?

Possible builds: Defensive minions + conjuring (+ auras), minions + enchants, shapeshift + enchants...


Hunter
Ranged & Spear: main source of damage
Traps: to weaken, stun, slow etc. (traps may work like like zombie-wall in gameplay trailer)
Stealth & Poisen: mainly for more damage, some defense

Possible builds: Trap then finish with spear, enchanted ranged attacks etc.


<Insert Name>
Weapon Disciplines: Naginata(very-good range&damage, avarage speed), Katana(good range&damage, fast), double Tanto(avarage range&damage, very fast)
Rage and Finishers: works like the martial arts tree of the assasin, may have elements+arcane
Fighting Stances: most have aura effect, no elements and direct damage

Possible builds: just choose a weapon to specialize, a fighting stance and the charges/finishers you want to use.

BTW this set of classes leaves almost no skills from D2 and LOD unused, damaging/elemental auras and some necro skills could be in the expansion. (Horde of undead minions rocks!)

Please give some feedback, im just trying out new ideas. Thanks.

i definitely agree with some kind of arcane wizard, like a class kinda based off of cain...
what if he really wasnt the last of his kind?!? (i mean its been 20 years)

and something like the hunter is more than likely to be there, and then one more fighter based class, somethin like the pally... but more bad ass

Too much like the paladin/dark paladin from baldurs gate 2...or was it NWN. Or both.

paladin was in the previous game, u cant imply were stealin an idea from an another game

Already posted this on another thread but apparently this is where it truly belongs.

Dark Knight (Necro + Paladin)

When he kills enemies with his combat skills they come back from the dead as skeletons, wraiths, revenants, etc.

(The Witch Doctor doesn't necessarly overlap with him since he doesn't need to kill enemies to summon pets and he seems to only have a small army.)

Magic and Bone spells to help him control mobs and heal his minions

Auras to replace Curses

Ninja (Amazon + Assassin)

Can use skills with bows, throwing knives, shuriken, etc.

Some martial arts skills

Traps

Magi (new pure caster)

Replacement for the Sorceress with some new twists.

Here's some additional info on the Dark Knight

Actually I was thinking that the auras would be somewhat a mix up between curses and Pal auras. Like you could use auras to buff up your army or you could use auras that act like let's say dim vision but cost mana while active, but it shouldn't matter if you have mana leach.

You could like permanently cast some of the old Necro curses like Life Tap which the WD wouldn't have.

For the melee part, I was thinking of giving him abilities that deals a lot of elemental damage to his attacks but hit only one unit. You could then if you want use weapons like Scythes to deal splash damage raising minions more quickly.

Note that he could also have abilities like Zeal or Sacrifice.

As for the Bone tree, you could actually use support spells, like bone prison against enemies to give you more mobcontrol but again not like the WD.

I was also thinking about using abilities to heal your minions or that make you kill one of them to regain life and mana.

While being at it why not give the Dark Knight an ability that allows him to summon Bone Swords that spin around him acting like the Assassin Blade Barrier, that would be awesome.

I'm hoping a Hunter. Mix of sorts Bows/Traps/Nature. I don't think a Rouge will be announced. Though I have a strange suspicion Blizzard will announce classes that have never appeared in a game before.

Yeah, for the most part all of these new class "ideas" are crap, and not well thought out.

How about all of you new members look at some of the better character designs, such as post #71, #109, or #1640.

Once you have done that, think about your character idea, and I mean really think. Ask yourself these questions.

What is the character's origin?
What is the character's race?
What is the character's overall class design?
What are the character's skills?
How can this character be balanced?

Once you have done that, you will have a character class worth reading. Thank you.

And sort of, what happened to Elfen Lied posting the compilations of the most common characters?

All I know is after reading most of the Diablo books, there MUST be a Necro, or at least a NPC Necro that is very important to the game.

Zayl would make a good new Cain

I also loved the originals,but ive always dreamed of a char that was vampiric.....

I want to have a class that can teleport, that would be awesome. Therefore, if we can't teleport, that would be awesome because we wont be able to get rushed

I'm just hoping that they include the necromancer U_U

What they already have:
Primary Melee
Secondary Caster / Secondary Summoner

What type I think they will add:
Ranged (Bow/Crossbow/Thrown)
Primary Caster
Secondary Melee / Secondary Caster

With that being said...

[ Ranger ] Has an option to spec either Primary Ranged or Secondary Ranged with Secondary Melee. *KEEP Guided Arrow and Multi Shot

[ Mage ] Primary Caster *KEEP Frozen Orb

[ Knight ] Secondary Melee with the option to spec in either buffs or ranged spells.

Those are the 3 I would like to see in Diablo 3.

I know this would make no sense at all, but I want a Samurai class. He would be similar to the Knight posted above.

How about a "blue" mageish class. They could use various enemy attacks and perhaps be a shapeshifter, of course it wouldn't be like they have to see the move to use it just typical skills.

IDk if there is a previous thread.
But for new classes, Any idea's anyone?
I mean d2 had most of the basics, magic missile, physical missile, magic melee, etc.
But any combinations or uniqueness in classes that you think we will see?
Please Contribute:D

Samurai (Paladin + morph druid)

Samurais are warriors who come from Xiansai, they use ancient combat techniques and dark magic to fight their enemies.

Their primary weapons are Katanas, two handed Swords and Fist weapons.

Note: most of these ideas were stolen from Devil May Cry 3 and 4





Bushido (a.k.a combat skills)

Air trick: teleport the Samurai next to the selected target (more like Dragon Flight but without the damage)

Coin Toss: Throw gold at your enemies... lol

Rapid Slash: Like charge but has more than one hit and hit more than one monster

Round Trip: Hold the skill button to charge the attack then release to throw your sword at your enemy like a boomerang leaving you weaponless, but you still can switch to another weapon

Open Wound (passive): Give your attack a chance to open wound

Splash Damage (passive): Give your attacks splash damage

Rave: like zeal but on one foe






Metamorphosis

Dark Slayer: Transform the Samurai into a demon giving him more def, res to physical, attack speed/speed and life regeneration

Warrior Within: Allow the Samurai to remain morphed for a longer time, give him more life regeneration and res to physical

Dimensional Slash (Maximum Bet): Throw a Slash at the enemy from afar (think of bonespear but with a wider range), you can hold the skill button to charge this attack to make it stronger

Judgement Cut: Hold the skill button to charge the attack then release to send cyclones of slash at your enemy (deal splash damage around the targeted foe), at higher level you can send more than one cyclone by repressing the skill button at the right time.

Spiral Swords: form a shield of Magical Swords around the Samurai acting like Blade Barrier, you can hold the skill button to make them spin around you vertically making it absorb damage instead.

Dance Macabre (Showdown): Send a powerful barrage of Slashes at the enemies in front of you, need some time to charge leaving the Samurai vulnerable





Auras

Honor: same as might

Focus: Allow the Samurai and his allies to dodge attacks

Medidation: Sacrifice life to regain mana

Assume: Mix of Concentration and Blessed aim

Birthright: give your attacks life leech allowing you to reclaim what's rightfully yours

Second Chance: Ressurect the Samurai after his death with a very little amount of hp.

Thread merged into existing sticky thread at top of forum:
Characters/classes we want to see/be in Diablo 3

true a tank-styled class will be in game with auras close to the paladin, you can almost guarantee it

Who says a Barb can't do what the Pally did in D2? He's good defensively and offensively. He's a tank, and he can support with shouts. Just make the shouts last long enough, and be strong and versatile enough, and making a paladin class would just be redundant.

you can see that he loves to show some skin, and a tank is fully covered, besides a barbarian doesnt have defensive auras or holy spells (this is from pure memory i havent played D2 in 2 years)
