As for skills uses “Magic rituals” for healing and buffs, “Pacts” for controlling of beasts and demons and “Elemental” for vast array of ranged / aoe damage.

I can see them replacing the Pally with another "holy" type character. Maybe a fallen angel? One who is trying to fight the demons on earth and has left the Heavenly Realm because maybe he thought the rest of the Heavenly bodies weren't doing enough to stop the reign of terror.

Isnt the monk already taking the "holy" character spot? I mean, it would suck if we had a monk AND another class that is reminiscent of the pally...
The fact is that the pally was the holy warrior and the monk is now. Unfortunately, that means there is just no room for another disciple type character. I could still seem them adding a knight type class though. It is purely the holy aspect that cannot exist on two different characters.

I think the 5th class, will be called sainted archer. This wil be a bow wielding character that infuses their arrow with holy powers to vanquish demons and undeads alike.
Bow skills, throwing skills and skills that proc elem,poison and arcane dmg
IMO we need (or want) a solid ranged class and combining bow and thrown weapons skills in 1 class would about cover it, I really hope thrown weapons make a return I never used them but thats cos of the runewords that I always used post 1.10. Without runewords making weapons overpowered (maybe overpowered here is the wrong word) I could see thrown weapons being viable. As for procing that would put a rough spot in the day of a resistant mob.
TBO I never really played a Zon in D2 in all my like 7+ years and this puzzles me as every other game I have played I loved the ranged classes Ranger/Rouge what ever they called it, I cannot put my finger on it but the Zon didnt really push enough buttons with me for me to ever be able to play her long enough to like her.
I hope they make a ranged class for D3 as I will make a point to give it a fair shake and play it for more than 2 days!
Only if you would be forced to keep changing forms to deal with different enemies. The forms must have complicated pros and cons. Also limitations like cool down and timing on each form is necessary. So, if balanced well and played right, a demonic shape shifter could be really interesting.
Ok Im not sure if Blizzard has ever stated this isnt possible, But none of you have mentioned a healing class, except maybe one of you ( I thought I saw Priest), but who's to say (if blizzard hasn't) that there won't be a healing class that wields bows and fights from a distance while aiding friends...They have even said that multiplayer in Diablo 3 will be based around Players helping each other to complete the Storyline...With less focus on PvP ( Just like it has always been)
I still stand by my choice of a Ranger/Pathfinder sort of class.
Probably a nature woodsman/tracker/hunter sort of class.
Can't wait till they announce the 5th class!
When is Blizzcon again?
I would agree with others that the last class should be some kind of range type of class...
Looking at the classes now, Barbarian practically stays more or less the same with some different skills...
Witch-Doctor & Wizard are essentially Necromancer & Sorcerer respectively but with a more contemporary D&D class vibe...
Now the Monk class is like a combination of Paladin & Assassin classes...
So my guess over the next class would be somewhere along the lines of a Druid & Amazon classes....
Probably a Ranger of nature or some kind of Pathfinder that uses the surroundings to his/her advantage...
The class would be able to deal deadly range attacks, hide in the shadows, disrupt & slow enemy movement...
My guess is that this class is also able to deal bleeding damage...
I think that blizzard would want to make something we havnt seen before, seems they would rather introduce new things instead of always going back to something old, but still keep a diablo feel to it, i like the idea of a half demon type character, like son of Diablo, has terrible dad issues, if not i think a ranged character but not necessarily bows, mabye throwing knives or axes, spears and shields, the Frank. dunno if it would fit into the diablo lore tho.
I frankly think that they'll be losing so many more customers based on things such as No LAN and Pay-for-Play B.Net, but that hasn't stopped them from going ahead with those plans.
Pay 2 play bnet? i thought they arnt going with that?
Not it isn't pay to play. It only is if you dont pay the game in a store and pay full game price there. If you download it on the internet or something from blizzard, then they will charge monthly fees (p2p). The latter is for peole who live in areas of the world where gaming stores are not as common.

refer to here!
The 5th class will be called:
Stalker
This class will not have any stealth moves, auras, or traps.
Will obviously use bows and less obviously use HAND WEAPONS.
It will most likely have a summonable "pet," and will be able to "sense" enemies, maybe even know their weaknesses.
It will have abilities to make it move faster (ala d2 assassin or WoW hunter)
I could think of more things but I would rather wait.
But in all seriousness, I will guess that the last class will be called the Scout. I actually like the name, sounds pretty badass.
