I don't think it has been posted yet so here it is
Yeah, I think you guys hit the nail.
We're setting out to create unique, interesting, and diverse classes that each have their own style and flavor. Most importantly this isn't just a basic look at each individual class, but how they compare to each other and overlap (or hopefully, don't).
When you up the number of classes more and more you're eventually going to begin down the route of homogenization, they start to bleed into each other's core abilities and styles which really just detracts from each individual class' recognizability and distinction within the game.
In addition, by limiting the number - and I say limiting not because it's a low number, it's the number of classes in Diablo II and a good one at that, but because we're not going crazy with it - we can focus on making each class really impressive, both visually and through the way they each feel and play.
Yeah, I read that a few hours ago and it sounds great.
They put a lot of thought into it. People should read the first part of the thread to get a better understanding on why they did it- and other game systems that have a lot more.
I don't know why so many people are disagreeing with every aspect of Diablo 3. I mean, Blizzard obviously knows what they're doing so stop complaining they no a LOT more about their game then you do.
I TRUST Blizzard and can't wait for this game to come out. I'm probably going to stay awake for a solid week trying out all the classes!

Meh, I really doubt she can 'sense evil' or whatever. She was probably just excited about a shoe sale or something, coincidentally when evil was about.
I agree entirely. More classes always ends in mixed classes rather than unique classes. This gives them time to make 2 new classes for the expansion too.

Hopefully this sentiment will finally end any speculation about the Necro returning...
