I wonder if they'll have necro and witch doctor classes? Seems unlikely, but in the Diablo novels, the Necro seems so be a really important class. I can't see blizzard just dropping them entirely. Unless they have some necro NPC's in there just to try and stay true to the lore. Could be added in an x-pac too. Witch doctor seems more similar to the druid than the necro to me. Kinda a combination of the 2 actually.
Well do we really care about having a male or female version of the character? I only look at them as classes, I don't really care if they're male or female as long as the actual class is good.
Well, I'm sure there will be a Paladin, mage and amazon classes left, but they'll come in as hybrids.
The only think I could think of though is mixing the amazon with the druid. That leads to Hunter type of class, so with the help of wolves and such, and being able to set traps, I think it would make a pretty kickass class.
All I need for satisfaction is Earth Magic, like in Avatar, as someone mentioned earlier (preferably on the primary spellcaster).
That would be so awesome.
As for my predictions... (or more like what I want)
The Avatar could shapeshift into a demon or an angel (imagine the wings exploding out of his/her back) and cast interesting channeling rituals which take time and effort to prepare but have devastating effect.
Well, basically for the whole elemental thing. It'll just be a sorcerer/sorceress with 4 different branches of skills. Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind.

Spotted these in Cain's Journal, hopefully it's playable class character since the design is really cool. Maybe the class could have a sort of evil/good duality to it, since one set looks all bad-ass while the other is clearly angelic.
I'm expecting some sort of dark/evil/demonic paladin. Perhaps a combination of the Paladin and Druid (at least in function), with auras, short to medium ranged spells, demonic transformation and a small number of pets similar to the Druid's vines/spirits. Could have a mana --> life theme.
Maybe a hybrid of the Amazon and Sorceress, a mystical skirmisher that channels spells through ranged weapons.
A telekinetic/psychic character would be awesome. Abilities could include teleportation, magic negation, friendly movement/attack speed buffs and similar debuffs for enemies, combined with nova attacks and "thorns" effects. Could have a life --> mana theme.
Lol, Paladin and some sorta rogue class have a huge chance of returning.
But seriously, some of you guys cannot say the witch doctor is replacing the druid. They resemble the necros a lot more considering the type of skills they use. So I know a lot of you like necros (my fav class is the druid, but I love summoning skeletons, having 20 by yours side is too awesome), but they may or may not make a return. The poison spot has been taken already, so we'll have to see.
As for druid, I really like the idea of shapeshifting. I think they may make a return, or another hippie class similar to them. I really love the idea of being able to transform into a more brutal demonic form. But since Demon Witch is already some sorta summoner. The return of necro's will either mean druids will not be available, or the durids were altered into some sorta hippie class that turns into stuff. But if a druid is announced, chances are, necros won't make a return.
The whole Demon/Angel class idea is pretty lame IMO.
You're just saying that because it's not coming from Blizzard itself. If they posted art or if they stated this themselves you'd probably shit your pants IMO.

lol it can still easily be a ranger since who said you cant shoot arrows at melee distance xD

The Barbarian is from Arreat, a very cold snowy mountain top, but they are much tougher than normal humans, so they don't need warmth.
Quote from "Archie" »
Where are Barbarians originally from? Sumeria, or more specifically Mesopotamia, AKA Europe. Think the Alps and the Pyrenees
I was thinking about this while taking a shit... You have a Melee class, and a Support-kinda Caster class, now you need a full on Caster, a Ranged DPS, it could be coupled with a melee DPS too, and a Counter-part to the Vodoo guy... That's kinda just some random thoughts... Anyway...
Barb
Vodoo thing
Sorc
Rogue-y guy/girl
*A very professional type support thing, without summons... a clean cut sorta thing, like the Pally, but not necessarily holy... But, something similar to the Pally, that would balance out the barbaric vodoo stuff... (witch doctor, not the Barb)

No because it doesn't fit the game.
you play as a human character class not some Demon/Angel. Blizzard knows this and wont announce such a class.
Barbarian
Witch Doctor (necro replacement)
Sorceress
Amazon (or obvious zon/asn replacement dealing with ranged and trap-like tactics.)
Paladin (or some type of holy class, the game wouldn't be complete without it.)
can't wait to see what new characters the expansion brings or am I getting ahead of myself? C:
ok my five choices are
Barb: The Pure RAW DAMAGE KILLER up close nd personal i love the new whirlwind amazing class def a single player and partyer
Witch Doctor: seems to be a shman and necro def not a druid because druid is nature it summons animals not undead unholy monsters and insects. a shaman does deal with totems i have to say and i didnt see any but then again we didnt see any other magic attacks than summoning and a swarm of locusts. more party but can go solo cause it can summon
Ninja/amazon/ranger/hunter/Rogue: i say ninja because they can easily incorparate assassin by make it throw not javelins and bows but shuriken (NINJA STARS) and adding all types of diffrent types of elements to the shuriken. This long ranged attacker will most likely be another party killer because while thos eup front attack this can stay back and provide support.
Elementalist/mage: I only chose those two names cause they re gender neutral, sorceror and sorceress are diffrent and they wouldnt make a seperate class for a female or male. Plus whats a blizzard game without a pure magical character. the mages skills would revolve around the three major elements of blizzard, ice fire and lightning. there re also poison spells but that is more a necro and thats why you wont see poison spells for a mage.
Pally/Kinght: w.e you wanna call it. This is my most hated class and i hate to say this but it will prolly be in D3 because it is holy and what way better to fight unholy then with holy . the auras and special attacks that this class can do help out parties, so im guessing if your gunna add this it would be because of the cooperativness of the game not the isngleplayer and indeed blizzard said this was a cooperative game.

2). Witch Doctor
3). Sorcerer/Sorceress
4). Amazon
5). Paladin/Holy Knight (Something in that category.)
2) Witch Doctor
3) Mage/Sorc/Wizard
4) Paladin/Crusader
5) Rogue/Hunter/Amazon (some kind of ranged class)
edit: Also, it's very much possible that the witch doctor has a necromancer skill tree.

That avatar shapeshifting idea is pretty lame.
Runes?!
OMG
IT'S A DEATH KNIGHT
Witch Doctor (wish was a necro though)
Paladin
Amazon
Assassin
I doubt Blizzard would leave out an elementalist type character.
Witchdoctor
Sorcerer
Amazon
Paladin
Mostlikly many of them like the witchdoctor may be hybrid, which actually may be better...
Making Controversial points one post at a time!
