New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!
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.
Here's the actual Cinematic Trailer for the Monk:
And here's the Gameplay Footage of the Monk:
More news to come soon!
thanks blizzard... to make him hand to hand combat to.
i luv the monk class, my first one for sure
I think I might actually be downloading the korean version. Oh well, it can't be that big of a difference.
Obviously you haven't watched the trailer if you think the Monk is magic based.
Way to not use facts though.
That's your first post? You created an account just so you could whine about the new character?
I love these comments because I would love the see the brilliant ideas people like 'alec89' would come up with.
Next person to whine about the Monk better come up with a reasonable alternative or they're getting virtual-smacked.
mmm no.
I expected that raider or nomad class they showed some artwork from a while back. So far there are 4 characters revealed and i'm only interested in playing half of them... The last class better be good.
dude, its a freaking monk. Use your common sense. He will obviously use magic and some maybe mind controlling crap and thats it. Seriously though, they could have come up with something MORE original than "monk". sounds lazy.
The complainers don't deal in facts. They're like my 60 year old Italian aunts who sit around for entire afternoons complaining about everything they can think of. Even the fact that they just sit around complaining. They complain about that more than anything I think.
So like in the trailer when he is running around smashing stuff with his fists and staff... And not casting spells... That means he is a magic user?
O RLY?
Oy, I don't think I can get any more constipated than I am now. Some of you have the strangest sense of entitlement. And I'm all for criticism, I really, really am. But fuck me, the things some of you come up with.
OK Hotshot. Like what?

Yap
seems like too nerdy and comic like addition. They should have added something dark or mystical like the necro or assassin was in D2. Its just my opinion, relax.
Hear, hear.
It's this new generation of internet kids. For some reason they feel like once they're behind an uber-cool screen name (with the year they were born at the end of it of course) it is their god-given right and duty to whine about everything they read. Everything.
