Seems a lot of people have decided the 5th class will be a bow user. I am not one of these people. It also seems that everyone has forgotten about shield users. Diablo 1 had the warrior Diablo 2 had the Paladin. I know the Barbarian has kind of replaced the traditional warrior type class. But I want something like a Knight as the 5th class. Whatever happened to a massive tower shield, huge full plate armor and a beautiful shiney 1 handed sword or axe.
Names for such a class could be
Templar
Crusader
Dark Knight ( Like a pally gone bad )
Barbarian takes both the shield niche and has been, quite often, in the heavy armor niche... I don't think that justifies a class any more than a whole damn ranged niche.
I do think the barb will cover the heavy armor niche. However, I do feel we lack a medium armor class. Wd,wiz, and monk are all light armor classes. I think we need somebody for leather/chainmail armor. Not full plate or cloth.

Ok so it does seem the barbarian has taken the tank spot. Fair enough I didn't realise there was a shield skill tree. Its still a little disappointing, the Barbarian was always there for full on melee dps. Duel wielding and 2 handed weapons, a Barbarian with a shield doesnt really fit the traditional sort of barb
I'd like to see a mix between a Warrior and a Necromancer. A life leeching heavy armored character with 1H and board and malefic auras that drain life or fear...things like that...

Thats the kind of class im talking about. Im not saying bring back the pally but the Barb doesn't come close to fitting the same sort of niche. And to the person that said the always rolled a barb with a shield, Im guessing you never played hell. They only way to solo hell with a barb is with whirlwind and frenzy.
