So, um, in case no-one noticed there are 2 stickied threads regarding classes in the same forum ^_^.
I know. This thread is meant to be for discussion of the Barbarian and Witchdoctor, because they are classes that we know of. The other thread is meant to be about what classes we want to have.
But at the moment there isn't much to talk about, so the discussion has just lead to what we want to have, but with a bit more updated info in mind I suppose.
Oh yeah, but I love the name 'Inquisitor' because of its bad connotations. It makes it seem sinister. Sinister is cool.
There's plenty of Paladin "signature" skills
Combat: Smite , Holy shield , (i really hope for something like charge) and zeal
Just my opinion ,i hoping for something like combo move like those arcade D&D moves
Like doing UpperCut or Sweep their feet to fell them down. imagine the combos
Charge , hit ,smite hit hit uppercut sword slash Holy Hammer Throw and
and Spectacular finish with FistOfHeaven while the enemy is in the air.
If he's not dead charge him while he falls and force him to the ground with a downward smite
and another FOH. = Ignore me i just excited
Holy Magic: replace the holy bolt thingy, not much fun bolting undead one by one..
bless hammer? replace that too, kinda cheesy not a single thing is immune to it
(except the tree huggers at the magic tree if they are immune to magic)
and ridiculous dmg.
Fist Of Heaven, i like that skill but need to be revamp or replace
Auras:? i dont know if it will brought back in D3 or change
Please Blizzard Bring Back the Paladin..
Come on. only 1 Close Combat Character?
There's plenty of Paladin "signature" skills; Starting with the auras. Moving on to Zeal, Sacrifice and Vengeance.
Don't want a Paladin? Opt for a Inquisitor!

You should rather read over my Inquisitor. I've gone to great pains not to make it a "Spanish Inquisition"-character. The contrast between the religious fervor, the name, and the abilities, the look and acting is very important.
I just noticed the links in your sig, lol, and I see they've got a lot of work put in them. But I just can't imagine Sacrifice, Zeal, and Vengeance being half as fun as the Barb's signature skills, or the WD's, or other classes. Some of the holy stuff looks neat, like Fist of Heavens... but then I'd rather just play a lightning sorc

Oh, that's what this thread is for? Woops.......
But a holy paladin type of character shouldn't be sinister. And if you read all the background and whatnot, maybe Inquisitor doesn't seem as bad, but the connotations are still there... meh.

I posted this in another thread a while ago (no one seemed to pay attention to it...
But, here is what I think a cool class would be.
Demomancer Skill Tree 1- Demonology (Summons Basic Demons, Future Skills will allow you to transform the basic summons into more powerful demons. Would probably include passive skills to increase the power of the basic and transformed demons.) Skill Tree 2- Shapeshifting (Allows the hero to transform into a demon and learn ability that can be used in those forms.) Skill Tree 3- Curses (Same idea as the Necromancers skill tree.)
What do you guys think?
yay for that idea!
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Ranger - Ranged Weapon Mastery (fire a bow or javelins like a machine gun!), Traps (MK style!), Pets (lions, tigers, and bears oh my!) - physical damage based
Demonologist - Bone Spells (Necro style!), Avatar (shapeshift into a demon!), Furies (evil spirits that hang around you, giving party bonuses) - mix of physical damage and magic
LEAP ATTACK!!!!! PLAGUE OF TOADS!!!!!
SLOW TIME!!!!!

Yeah, this thread is pretty much borked up because of freakish merging accidents. In my opinion, both threads should be locked, seperated, restarted and restickied. It would like for my posts to be in the "right" thread but this is where they got merged, and so this is the thread I must continue posting in; before the name-change of the thread.
Yeah, sorry about that. Don't worry, quite a few changes will be happening around here pretty soon
That's why it's so good. You get to be sinister and good at the same time. Contrary to the real world, it must be settled that the spiritual dangers are very real. Demons & Hell are real, and devil-worshipping cults feed the powers of the Greater Demons. If they are sinister, they are truly sinister for the greater good.
Yeah, I really like that. Because like, in the world of Sanctuary, Heaven really isn't good for Sanctuary either. They are kinder to us, yes, but in the long run they want the exact same thing as Hell wants - to take over the world and win the Great Conflict once and for all.
But its bad if Heaven wins, because then the universe will become stagnant. Everything will be in perfect unison, there wouldn't be any need for change or growth. Everything would just all stand still.
But Heaven isn't as much of a threat to us as Hell is, because Heaven is much more subtle and gentle in its persuasion. Hell is a lot more forceful, and thats where the immediate threat is.
However, Heaven is actually doing a damn good job at converting the world to their side, because everyone seems to have this idea that Heaven is good.
We really want to be neutral and fight for Sanctuary itself.
Ah, those quotes in your sig are awesome. Did you get them from somewhere or make them up? Your ideas are really cool and well thought out. I love them.
Paladin is a must! I would never forgive Blizzard if they replaced my paladin.
Seeing as there IS selectable gender for any class, Sorceress and Amazon cannot be a class.
There has to be balance between classes, plus Blizzard is starting from scratch it seems.
Witchdoctor caters to both Necro and Druid fans. I'm doubting having 2 summoner classes.
Barbarian is only the necessary fighter class in any RPG.
We need a Holy class (also healer) = Paladin. Who also serves as a fighter hybrid.
Pure caster = Sorceror/Magi
Ranger class = Ranger? From Diablo 1, the Rogues are female, even the story "The Sisters of the Sightless Eye". Diablo 2, it was the Amazon. Now the story needs to allow this class a male char. This will also probably be a sneaky class, implementing both assassin and Amazon type skills.
I'm sorry but paladins are not going to be holy or healer or any of that crap, I'm already sick of my main being a paladin on WoW don't make the same mistake on Diablo 3 with a good @ nothing, terrible @ all class. I liked the paladin from D2, lets keep that focus with more melee going on.
-Barbarian
-Witch Doctor
-Rogue (kind of)
-Sorcerer
-Paladin (name may be modified)
And VERY probably 2 others for the expansion
-Monk (basically from hellfire)
-Something special we've never seen (shape shifting??)
What did the monk do?? I cannot remember. Rogue was able to duel wield, barb I don't remember, and monk... was weird.
Monk doesn't sound like an interesting class though. I'd much rather see something along the lines of assassin/druid/demonologist/necromancer

I didn't have time to read through all of the pages so this may already have been covered but I think it's kinda important to point out that in the gameplay trailer, you see cain with two guards weilding some form of fireBows. I don't think there was much doubt before, but this almost completely assures me that there will be a return of some form of amazon/rogue class but also makes it slightly less likely that it will be an assassin mix. I know that the assassins did have fire moves, but this indicator only suggests a bow focus at this point whereas traps have yet to show their face at all.......................................
except for the treasure chests I guess.....................................
(<_<)

*Sneaks away holding up flame shield*

Basically the Assassin, Necro, and Zon get left out. Rogue is basically going to be the Ass/Zon in this one.
Edit-Whoops had 1 to many
the rogue or an amazon are not because where did u saw an amazon man or a rogue man why + why need a sorc if u have an assassin shes half sorc but much stronger

I would call that either a "priest" or "cleric" mostly because in the D1 Expansion it had a monk class, but was more combat oriented.
As of the "Amazon" issue, a Hunter class would be ideal because you can have the same properties as the former Amazon and dual gender it. If you stick to the lore of Diablo, then the Rogue class as well would remain female only. Unfortunatly, no go there.
Witch Doctor: prob a replacement for the Necromancers being some of the skills they have seem similar to the former necromancers skills. Either that or the necromancer will have a different skill set than before.
Whithout a the healer class mentioned, that's 5. We shall see.
After watching some of the Dev videos again, its almost certain that they're bringing back two more of the previous classes. Because if you notice, they mention that the Barb is one of the "few" returning classes. Without a doubt you know they'll have at least one other new class .
So like I stated in my other post, and similar to what other ppl are saying, I think it will be something along the lines of:
- Barb
- Witchdoctor
- Mage (got to have the pure caster)
- Ranger (this class will incorporate previous Amazon and Assassin skills; bows, traps, etc)
- Zealot (or something similar, in which the Paladin can be created under)

But eh, your choice ^^
This one make most sense by far.
Although, they may want a Shapeshifter?

A paladin-like class, I think is a must. Though it does not have to be by name.
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/classes/paladinhistory.shtml
That's the D2 history of the paladin. It explains who they were.
Scorceror/Scorceress: No question
Barbarian: Obvious too
Witch Doctor: prob a replacement for the Necromancers being some of the skills they have seem similar to the former necromancers skills. Either that or the necromancer will have a different skill set than before.
Whithout a the healer class mentioned, that's 5. We shall see.
So like I stated in my other post, and similar to what other ppl are saying, I think it will be something along the lines of:
- Barb
- Witchdoctor
- Mage (got to have the pure caster)
- Ranger (this class will incorporate previous Amazon and Assassin skills; bows, traps, etc)
- Zealot (or something similar, in which the Paladin can be created under)
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 that he seems to only have small army.)
Magic and Bone spells to help him fight his enemies and heal his minions
Auras could replace the 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.
