I just heard word that a new character class for Diablo 3 has apparently been unveiled: The Monk! Supposedly, it's replacing the Paladin. Still waiting for confirmation from Blizzard on all of this of course. JUST CONFIRMED IT'S OFFICIAL!
I'm still getting set up in the press room here guys, but thought you'd want to know! You heard it here on Diablofans first! Update: The Monk is playable at BlizzCon!!!! It wasn't at first, but after the announcement, they made the character playable on all the computers in the convention center.
Update #2: The Cinematic Trailer and the Gameplay Trailer for The Monk are up on Youtube. Scroll down and you can check 'em out!
The screenshot came from a Korean-language version of the Diablo 3 site.
This shitty character is replacing the awesome paladin ?????are they f***ing kiding us ?????the majority of the players on d2 were playing or have played a pala!!!!And more over pala was their favourite ,and they change it with a chara that wears staff and cloth ???????????just merci....everyone on blizzard should just suicide themselves for this major failure !!
I have to say I have to give my opinion at a later time. I need to see how they are using its skills. I hope they dont fuck this class up. lets see some bad ass assasin kicks and punchs!!!
I'm gonna wait to say whether I am looking forward to him or not depending on how his skill set plays out, but I'm hopeful they make him useful to the group by forcing him to fight and be in the fray of battle.

It's definitely possible that this is a paladin replacement but the Monk, to me, seems less Holy and more Spiritual. Like a mix between the d2 assassin and the d2 Druid. IDK.
EDIT// Gameplaywise, more like the assassin, less like the druid...

its just YOUR opinion, right?
cuz for me its ok to get the fuck paladin out of diablo 3.
I'm pretty disappointed.Monks are pretty boring and over-played in RPGs.
I would of preferred something more creative and out-there.
Don't you think you should see, at minimum, a minute or two of gameplay before assuming you know how the class will play and what it's mechanics will be?
By your reasoning the Barbarian should be scrapped. Want to talk about overplayed? Hulking fighter-type is the absolute basic class of every RPG ever created.

And mine too. It seems like every RPG monk doesn't live up to the standards.
Ever try making a Hand to Hand person on Oblivion?
It doesn't end well.
This is exciting news for me.

If they haven't introduced a new faith, it would be Zakarum.

That's the picture I've been seeing. It may be at Blizzcon, just not playable/announced yet.
