Guys, he's not a monk. He is obviously Arabian/Middle Eastern, he's not Asian in slightest.
I honestly believe he is going to have a skill set based on sand, one skillset based on fire & brimstone spells, and a summon skill set (Think Djinni's, scarabs, scorpions, vipers). It only makes sense because they are releasing the desert act.
He will be a mid range to short range fighter/caster (emphasis on fighter) to fill in one of the gaps in play that are left. WD is a middle to long range caster/fighter (emphasis on caster), Wizard is a long range caster, and Barb is a short range fighter. Which leaves the mid to long range fighter as a ranger/thrown weapon class.
No, he's a monk, it's been confirmed in live chat.
The Monk looks awesome. There's a ton of potential with this class. I'm thinking he'll probably be really quick, with emphasis on close range combat. Maybe with some type of combo/quick multiple hits type damage. Some type of aura (similar to the paladin) would probably fit in as well.
As for weapons, what fits in with monks aside from staves and bare handed? Maybe some time of gloves, or something?
Well he does look really friggin cool. He might still have a similar skill set as to what I posted though. I'm still hoping for some sand based attacks.
Why oh why is there another WoW expansion?!?! Never mind, I can answer that, Cash Cow.

Do you even know all the countries that exist on the Asian continent? Even then the argument is pointless because this is Sanctuary, not Earth.
I don't know all, but most. But yeah, not Earth. I'm excited. BRain nOt FuNCTIOning propeRLY.
I just want to know where or who or WHY someone said there won't be a paladin class, or as stated "monk is paladin replacement". Just how accurate is this?

lol it can still easily be a ranger since who said you cant shoot arrows at melee distance xD

The Barbarian is from Arreat, a very cold snowy mountain top, but they are much tougher than normal humans, so they don't need warmth.

Where are Barbarians originally from? Sumeria, or more specifically Mesopotamia, AKA Europe. Think the Alps and the Pyrenees

I dunno if you've ever watched old hong kong kung fu, but there are tons of weapon possibilities! Aside from bare fists, gloves & claws... there are staves and swords to shovel blades, spears, fans, melon balls, hammers, hell, even chopsticks. My personal favourite is the three sectional staff.

Well who ever heard of an Arabian Monk? Bhuddists are monks, not... Oh, well I guess he could be a Hindu style monk. :/
Another friggin WoW expansion?!?! They just released Lich King what 6 months ago?!?

I think so, it's not loading for me, either.
The screen shots look amazing.
Sweet, he's got some kind of Emperor Palpatine hand lightning going on in the first pic and that definitely a dash attack in the second picture.
Also looks like we can count on staffs and staves as primary weps.
AWESOME. :thumbsup:
