I say the Engineer Gunmen.
*Story*
Engineers of Sanctuary are credited to great feats such as the building of the Horadrim cathedral and every city we call home. They create the much needed technology we need to live our daily lives. However recently a few of Engineers have used their skills to create works in the art of war. Things that no person in this world has ever dreamed of. Large Iron Tubes that release fire and smoke at the ends when a trigger is pulled, or a Crossbow that need not be reloaded every single shot, and bows that have such immense power behind each shot they can break down a wall. They have also created other things such as strange iron balls that explode when thrown at the enemy tearing them to peices or another small ball that when thrown at the ground engulfes the user in a cloud of smoke.
They have even created a new fighting style they call the Gun Arts, a fighting style that focus's on keeping distance between the user and his target and when is watched in motion by a master, is like watching wind flying around. I once watched a master take on a drunken man in a bar once, the master said that the man had 60 seconds to lay one hand on him and if he didnt he would knock the man out with a bottle. needless to say that man had a concussion at the end of the night.
A Physical Ranged class that Rely's on Pistols, Crossbows, bows, and Rifles.
Three Talent Trees.
Engineering, Weapons, Gun Arts.
Engineering will basicly mean the Gunmen relys less on his Weapons and more on clever use of Tech and abilities such as Traps/ Bombs/granades/ Missles and maybe even small stationary Turrets.
Weapon Tree will be what it sounds like. This tree will focus on making the Weapons the Gunmen uses more effective, giving them incindiary rounds. Ice rounds. Rapid Fire. Faster Reloads. Ect.
Gun Arts is a tree that focus's more on movement around the battlefield, the gunmen doesent have alot of armor so hes gotta keep moving or trip up his opponents. Such abilities i have in mind are quick leap, Dash, trip, Smoke bomb, Flash Bang, Sprint.
And thats my entry. Possible? Meh i think a Crazy Engineer in the game would be a funny character. Make him extremley smart, but also kind of......not there. Like Captain Jack Sparrow! lol. He should be a Mix Between a Scientist and a Fighter is what im trying to get at.
This is just getting started off the top of my head, i thought of this class months ago had it wirtten down to every detail on a note pad somewhere around my apartment.........but it seems i lost it ><. Got bord at work one day lolz
My guess is a slayer (crossbow) or headhunter (bow and spear); just because of the ranger archtype and some artwok posted on Sons of Storm.
Also for an expasion we may see a shapeshifter class (not druid) that has demonic forms (similarities with bear and wolf forms mechanics) and shadow spells. Maybe summoning abilities too.
I would say the 5th class will be a giant bow and some daggers taped to the string.
we could call it the Bagger, or the Darrow.
(Stop suggesting Ranger or rogue before i cut you, even though its decently likely it'll be something like that, stop saying it, its been done xD)
To me? maybe like a dryad, nature damaging and defensive magic but heavily focused on bows.
The other option (probably not but eh) would be a "chosen one" which has a mortal, demonic, or angelic tree. each tree has its weaknesses and strengths with angelic having exceptional defenses, demonic having exceptional offense, and mortal having some passives and extra skills? sounds interesting anyways
I posted this along time ago and I am to lazy to go searching for it but I had a decently long post on why it will probably be the Ranger. I am going to stick with that pick.
Raider, Rogue, Ranger, Warder, Beast Master, Some have suggested mercenary?, Hunter, ...
This class will be announced with it's female counterpart first. Which is why I'm thinking more of a rogue/raider.
This class may originate from a desert area. Or not.
This class will most likely be able to use all sorts of ranged weapons, starting with bows/crossbows going to throwing axes/knives, javelins, possibly spears and maybe even a new type of ranged weapon.
I hate waiting till October to find out how right or wrong we all were... oh well.
The ABility to make Guns were available Thousands of years ago to the Real human race.
Everyone knows that Ancient China Invented Gun Powder in 850 AD which is essential part of guns, They even made the first make shift rockets back then.
Guns did not become Extemely popular till roughly the 1500's and only the Rich had true access to them cause only they could afford to buy them.
To say there are no guns is not a problem, who says there's no guns in the Diablo World? Just cause we havent seen them yet doesent mean they dont exist, they could be a VERY rare weapon type.
Meh my arguement is basicly, guns are a easily added weapon into this kind of world. especially if 25 years have passed since the last game, alot can happen in that time.
New Technologies, new weapons, new well.......everything. Just add some crazy genius scientist into the mix and who knows what might happen.

Blizzard has stated that there will be no guns. That is why there will be no guns.

This is Highly disappointing.
But im still gona need a link on that statement in a news read or something plz.
And even then im not gona take it horridly serious cuase well......blizzerd does whatever they want whenever they want just as long as they see it as a Progressive turn twoard a great gaming expierence, not that they do it often cause they usually only do it for good reasons, but still this wouldnt be the first time Blizzerd has gone back on there word.
Pistols don't belong in the Diablo Universe. Why? It's been how many years between D2 and 3? Gunpowder in the real world have been around a lot longer than some of the swords used in Diablo 2.
Larzuk appeared to be on the verge of discovering gun powder, but shortly thereafter he was killed as the mountain exploded on his head.
Thus the secrets of gunpowder are lost forever and have no chance of being rediscovered. Because we say so, and that's how fiction works.
And to give an even better explanation:
Official Blizzard Quote:
Guns are decidedly scientific, and the Diablo world is decidedly magic (with a lot of impaling people on pikes). Not that guns and magic can't mix, but when they do it becomes something entirely different. So I don't think it's an issue of guns not being fun or just not working, it's nothing like that. It's simply a setting and tone issue, and guns would very certainly change it.
I would like to see a unic crossbow that are a very arcaic gun. But a entire weapon class with gunsliger characters running around would be very disapointing for me.
If techonology was to improve then, it would change things a lot. Imagine wow having starcraft terran protoss style of technology, it would dilute the gamestyle.
I wouldnt dare to say starcraft kind of technology because that is too advance that even current age cannot have.. But in WoW there are engineers? They can create rather advance stuffs like tinker in warcraft.. don't understand why they cant fit into diablo universe

Because they pissed warcraft lore into the wind, they don't want to do the same thing with diablo lore.
Archer. I personally don't see any counter-argument against an archer. It has to be a person who uses ranged weapons without magic because it's the only thing left.
