Pirates cannot make a very stable class without going against all lore and all fundamentals of the game thus far.
Where is it stated that pirates do not exist in a world such as Sanctuary? You don't believe in thieves? You don't think thieves might take to the waters and plunder and pillage sea faring convoys, like those of Mashif?
There is absolutely no DIVINITY in a pirate/thief,
Your point being? There's nothing divine about Assassins, which follow the theme of humans eschewing magic. My Brigand idea just takes it a step further.
and it would be hard to make a pirate without GUNS.
Why? Because people can only be robbed at gun point? Right.
Ever see the Assassin's Creed 2 trailer? Single shot pistol in Renaissance Italy and they still make it work.
I go by my original statement that vigilantism belongs nowhere in D3 due to the fact that it goes against what pirates stand
Even the lawless and evil should know that if everything is destroyed, there won't be people to steal from anymore. Not everyone does things out of the goodness of their heart. What did Shakespeare say? The greatest sin a man can commit is to do the right thing for the wrong reasons.

Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

Who would win in a fight: a pirate or a monk who could punch you in the face after the dodging the bullet and make your head explode?
Now you're assigning Matrix-esque abilities to these warriors. If you're going this far, why should anyone use any ranged weapons at all when Monks can avoid arrows, bolts and magic missile? If they're that dexterous then you'd never be able to hit them with a sword, either.
Hell, Monks sound badass -- never have to worry about armor again. I really want to play that!

Then your preceding post is a bit silly. I could have said, "A Witch Doctor throws a storm of toads at the Monk," to which you could reply "The Monk avoids them... and explodes the weak Doctor's head."
Each class has something different and new to contribute; each has their weaknesses and strengths. The Amazon was arguably the least enchanted of all the Diablo races and relied of archery, speed and dexterity to excel. These are qualities that would be key in a Brigand. Moreover, they could use Trap weapons similar to Assassins.
And we know that Sanctuary has reached gunpoweder technology. The Barbarians, who lived an insular lifestyle, were maybe a year or so away from it. Now, twenty years later and with the Barbarians in diaspora, that knowledge could have easily expanded outside their territory and strengthened the military of entire nations -- or just fall into the black market, where only the keenest minds see its advantages.

I wouldn't be apposed to the brigand or vigilante, but to me personally, they don't sound powerful. :\ Blizzard could make it work, if anyone could.

Join the Irish Mob. We like almost everybody. Read Pants are Good. It's funny. You'll like it.
Also read Wintendo, as DINGBANG is attempting to play through 764 SNES games in a back catalog.

Yeah and theres not that much story or charm behind it either. All the other classes have some sort of unique background, but the pirate's a fucking pirate who steals because he has to or wants to. I think that blizzard are putting much more effort into this last class, and to deem it a pirate is a little unrealistic.
oh and lol@ comparing Somalian pirates with d3 lore???!!
Another way you can look at the Pirate culture is through their democracy, where every man was worth their work and effort bar none. Even subjugated people and races were typically considered as equals. I forget the exact details, names and dates, but I read a very fascinating book on the subject. Pirates were more than just thieves, but also diplomatic, political, and F'ing clever. Henry Every is a good example, I think.
I'm just fascinated by cultures that can come together and break apart at will; where individual ships can strike up impromptu alliances for mutual benefit, snag some swag and share, then be along their merry way.
You guys are just letting the media warp your perception of a very fascinating culture and history.

remember diablo is about epic adventures where powerful demons are fighting powerful human champions
I'm sorry, did you just call Amazons epic? Why can't they be epic? Admit it, if we were discussing the prospect of Witch Doctors in Diablo 3 before it was announced, you would have balked at the idea.
EDIT I dreamed last night that Blizzard announced the last class was a Knight, which had some samurai and ninja influences thrown in there. It was pretty cool...

Now, I'm no moderator, so technically I can't do shit about it.
But still, I feel all obligated to point out that we're drifting pretty far from the topic.
Good point.
WELL FUCK IT.
Disregard my last post.

Battle not with monsters lest you become one.

Wise ElderJust like monk's wouldn't work huh?
If they can design the story to for some reason include pirates then it is completely plausible even if it seems unlikely.
