Lets try this again guys, I deleted the part about the healer. lol...
I was sitting here reading the forums and this idea popped into my head. An Exorcist class. Basically a holy character. I'll paste a paragraph from Wikipedia;
In some religions an exorcist is a person who is believed to be able to cast out the devil or other demon. A priest, a monk, a shaman or other specially prepared or instructed person can be an exorcist. An exorcist is a person who performs the ridding of demons or other supernatural beings who are alleged to have possessed a person, or (sometimes) a building or even an object.
I liked the fact that priests, monks, and shaman could be and exorcist.
What do you guys think of this? What are some skills he could possibly have?
hah thats a good idea! i remember talking to my friend saying there needed to be some sort of priest that kills demons or something exorcist is a good idea
The Exorcist class could be something akin to the Paladin from D2. A melee/tank (compared to a Barbarian which is very offensive) hybrid, probably a defensive/shield tree, vanquish tree (actual damage with bonuses to demons) and perhaps a prayer tree that buffs the party. I doubt healing in any form will make it into D3, as there was not any healing in D1 and D2. Plus a healing mechanic its either way underpowered or everything becomes very healing dependant (like WoW).
actually there was some sort of healing via the heal other spell ( -> ). i mean it was not a largely used spell. but i agree that how the game play works theres really no room for healing when your trying to make that kill
Yeah, I guess there was Holy Bolt (I think that is what you are talking about) but it was quite negligible and minor that it doesn't really count as a proper healing mechanic.
Oh, my bad. I've barely played D1. Grew up on D2 instead. Still, I haven't really heard anyone raving about healing in D1 so it must have only played a minor role.
oh ya i mean spells really limited you on other characters so i made my warriors purely fighting and my sorcerors purely magic. and even then there were more important spells besides reviving your friend. thats why you always kept ressurection scrolls lol
If they did throw in a healing ability you wouldn't have to consider them a healing class.
Besides, a couple of nice buffs and bad ass skills is all i would need.

But if there is only one healing ability I guess you'd need to add a whole tree of healing abilities or it would seem a bit odd.
and all i need are massive amount of blood and brutality. thats where the barbarian delivers. unless they make another fighting class. they need to and im sure they will have characters that has some sort of a hitting weapon. but i doubt it will have nearly the brutality of barbarians
The Exorcist would fit in the Diablo universe really well. Id love to see a holy class. But i dont know about healing. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that there wont be a dedicated healer class.
dedicated? that means there's a chance there could be one or two healing abilities in some class?

Heal and Heal Other are problebly the most important spell in diablo 1. It's the only spell that all classes uses widely besides town portals.

Ok... from my knowledge of exorcists (purely based on the original movie), I'd say he'd have the following skills.
1) Tie little girl to bed
2) Avoid vomit
3) Prinkle holy water and pray
Heh... I'm just kidding, actually that's a nice idea. Though to be honest, I'm hoping Blizzard won't put a "holy" class into the game this time.
But I guess it's just me.
