So back on April 1st Blizzard revealed an April fool joke class. But what if they where just joking about it being slow and its skills?
In this picture he doesn't look to be limping or anything. He looks very strong. He may be a type of summoner carrying those scrolls and stuff... or maybe even a holy class. Or I suppose he could be a new line of Horadric Mage trained by Deckard Cain so the Horadric Mages don't die out when he dies...

Ima put possibilities of what he could be / ideas I like

Summoner
Horadric Mage
Holy Class
Healer Class
Alchemist

we wont really know until they reveal the new class lol
but they could have just changed the name,skills, and speed

i dont see him being any kind of melee fighter if he is the new class =3

god I hope not. some crazy old guy who wacks me on the head with a book.

He wouldn't whack you on the head.......Unless that's his weapon.

It is possible. Some of the concept artwork for the April fools char looked great. He fits into the lore and has the right class of char. I could see them UN-nerfing him and him becoming an actual class or possibly a NPC or merc

It was deckard Cain. Bashiok explained it after it was revealed. So yes it was a d3 model but it was not a character.

oh... well that sucks. lol

They might make it into an NPC to help you along with the lore, since Blizz said that lore was going to play a bigger part in D3.
Would be nice to see the archivist making a cameo in D3, hopefully not a combat cameo though ^^.

i cant really see a healing class. the fighting goes to fast for it. its not like WoW. you got time to heal you and freinds on WoW. diablo u need to kill him before he kills you. another fighting class would make me happy. if its not brutal its not qaulity i always say( lol no i dont ) but ya maybe a demon killer priest for the light could be good.
