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:

I proposed this idea in the "Official Ranged Class Idea Contest" thread:
While I don't think this EXACT idea will come to fruition, I believe Blizzard is probably toying around with something similar. Although we won't actually know for another year...
i think blizz make The Avenger.
is a mix of ranger and paladin.
Man... this character makes me want to be able to run two characters at the same time. I really want to play the Barbarian. *Dualwields Lightning axes* Yet I want to play the Monk... *Activates Seven Sided Strike on one boss* *huge explosion*
Ugh... now that I think about it, I want to play the Wizard too.
Dammit.
but guys... this is not World Of Diablo... nether MMO.
diablo 1 and 2 no need healer class at all. why D3 will need?
no healer class, please, is just a waste of skills. My opnion.
Bashiok said some time ago that they were not planning a "healing" class or a class which would major in healing, although some skills of some of the characters would obviously be characterized as buffing. A whole class for it or a whole tree? No, I don't think so. A few skills here and there among the whole character selection? Maybe, probably likely.
I, for one, think the gameplay videos of the Monk look amazing. I think that out of all of the 4 characters they've really nailed the perception of him being powerful with his skills. They just look and sound badass.

Even in the desert?
Giant beads, giant staff, and a giant beard.
Sadly, I cannot watch the gameplay video till I get better internet...
*sobs*
Well for you to know about the gameplay vid...he has sweet ass skills like Zeal but with his fists and another skill that he quickly moves (almost teleporting) to a certain number of bad guys melee'ing them.
Whats going to happen when you mix 7 sided strike with a Multistrike rune?
I feared it wouldn't be.
