How about Chuck Norris? i think that fits perfectly, except he would beat the entirety of the game before it even came out, i dunno how well that would work.
imo there just bringing the amazon back, but probably with a new name and set of skills considering they don't want ppl to complain about reusing the same classes.
Barbarian (melee/w little in magic)
witchdoctor (hybrid range dmg plus melee with pets/focuses on magic disease dmg)
wizard (your sorceress mage class/glass cannon heavy range magic)
monk (hybrid melee with holy magic in close range)
?
seems to me were missing the heavy physical ranged. Basically the barbarian and wizard cover to common figures in these or mmo games. meat sheild head basher and glass cannon. then we have witchdoctor and monk, hybrid classes more versatile than others but weaker at each individually. wheres physical ranged?
The only problem with the ranged theory... which I've stated time and time again... is that there is no need for it. Each class is adept at both short and long ranged attacks. Why break that trend? Why make one class more inherently weak than the others?

I think I know who the fifth character just might be.
1. They need an archer.
2. All the characters this game are fairly specialized, but usually there is one that is a bit of a jack of all trades.
3. The fifth character is a returning character.
I daresay that we might see the return of the bard, a highly underused character the first game.
Did Blizzard say it was definitely going to be only 5 character classes?
Yeah, Jay Wilson stated that there will only be five characters in the release of Diablo 3, but with the possibility of several expansions, those numbers will increase.

Call it a hunter or a rogue...Combine the rogue from diablo 1 with the rogue from world of warcraft...no specific qualities and would work. A hunter has summoning abilities or could with certain creatures it could teach or command. Can be ranged or melee, and can lurk around if you wanted it to. Just my 2 cents.
i was reading an interview at IGN and noticed a little tid bit that the last character could possibly be a returning one. Theres alot of other interesting stuff in the interview check it out: http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017305p3.html
how about a char that looks like a theif, or like Altaiir from Assasins Creed? you know dark and myserious with cloak and stuff. Could use daggers, crossbows, and such, but also sticking with my theory, could also imbue such ranged skills with elemental skills, such as a tornado arrow, ( iono....)

You cant bring back the amazon, because there are no male amazons. Amazons are only females. So that will kinda mess up the whole idea of an amazon. lol.
A Warrior with Medium Armour specialized with the use of swords and shields and with the ability to use bows efficiently with the use of skills.
I am basing this off the classes of Diablo 2, since most of them always have a last resort which is melee weapons.
The idea would be to attack enemies from long range, using skills like poison arrows or skills that damage the foes attacking and defense ability and then attacking them with melee.
Would be a Fusion between Warrior and Archer, the exception is of course using medium armour.
yea, and then he can summon dragons and then ride them into the abyss where he can enslave demons and then consume them to gain 100000 stat points while wearing super plate, an armor so heavy that only this character can wear and yet it still doesn't hinder his movement as he can strafe with his bow at the speed of light...

Yeah, but if you read about amazons, the male amazons at birth were either given away to non amazon tribes or killed. But captured males were used as slaves and for mating. Lucky bastards
the barbarian is a master of all close quarters weapons correct. wizard is the master of magic. witch doctor is where things get a little different. as far as i can tell use of weapons is minimal with him so i would just consider him a type of alt wizard. almost seems like his skills could be utilized by a wizard too. the monk is like the light assault vehicle using high powered skills he seems to be yin to the barbarians yang. so keeping all of this in mind what character would best help to bring all these characters together? seeing how bows are in game already it would be odd to not have a char who would be a master of ranged weaponry. also traps have been neglected so far and i cant keep from speculating about their return. and seeing how there is only one class left i don't think there going to leave it out. this leaves us with a combo of assassin/amazon. a master of ranged weapons and traps, staying far out of harms way. what do you think?

If i'm not mistaken there is either a druid NPC artwork in the diablo 3 artwork trailer around 140 i think im not sure though ill have to look that up, but anyway if theres a druid pc that means its got a shapeshifting summon ability. I personally think it will be a range/ summon like the Hunter from WoW. Hunter's could summon pets to hold off their enemies while the hunter fired from afar. This has to be one of the best ideas WoW can contribute. IT will definetley be dominantly ranged because we have a pure melee pure cast a semi caster with summons to go up close while the Wd stays medium range and a medium range melee. so the only other option would have to be a ranged class with something either a skill or like i said some summons to attack up close so the actual hunter may back up and again fire from afar. I think this would work extremely well in Diablo 3 seeing as WoW took from Diablo AKA the Pally why not take the Hunter from WoW and use it's pets for the summons to hold off enemies exactly what the do in WoW.. Sorry if it seems like i love WoW i really hate it but noone can deny its a good game because 11 million fans is alot. Seeing as its very popular game and it is blizzard character they might as well take the hunter. Jay stated it wouldent be from a previous DIABLO game not mentioning any other games such as WoW or Sc so i think it will be a diablo version of the hunter.
EDIT: TO ALEC sorry if i spelt ur name wrong you said AMAZON MEN WERE KILLED??!??!...where'd you read this, cause last night at 4 am i was so bored i actually read all those little background stories inside the Diablo 2 manual and it nowhere says they were killed it says they usually stayed at home because women were more physically fit with smaller thinner more agile bodies not because they killed men. If you have a source id be glad to read and correct myself but as of yet i do not know of any instance where they killed the men of the tribe.

No, I read it from sources from the Greek mythology, the original one. Not the diablo stuff lol. Just go on wikipedia. I said, they killed newly born males or they gave the male babies away to other tribes, non amazon tribes. But captured adult males they used for mating and slavery. I'd like to be one of the captive

IN the initial release, but the expansions always allows for more.
We could see as many as nine in the end.
GYpSY~!!
i think id like to see a ranger who uses traps like the assassin from diablo 2
that would be fun and interesting
im also pretty sick of seeing archers with pets
cliche way too overused lol
but actually i would more like to see a char who specialized in throwing weapons as well as bows
cuz i personally love throwing weapons more than bows lol
specially a nice big throwing pike or a throwing sword xD
just give the char ranged mastery that gives them a bonus as long as they use ranged weapons =3
the trap idea would also improve on the strategy mechanic they tried with the sand monster from tremors xD
when they made it weaken with rocky terrain lol
well traps could be used to weaken or damage enemies in certain ways =3
