I know this is a very late followup, but...it worked. Monk was on the list.

Murderface Cody, I agree, warden sounds really good for the last class.

[/list]Not sure how the pirate thing applies, since it would seemingly fit in with a rogue. Maybe not by the thesaurus, but the basic idea is about the same. Someone who steals/tricks/uses quick or stealthy weapons/fights for profit. I would think that rogue and thief are pretty much the same thing, by the logic of most rpgs.

"Pirate" turned up different words in the thesaurus than "rogue" or "thief" (which likewise have varying synonyms), hence why I listed the results.
List tags are malformed.

Way before Diablo III was announced, I put the word "sorcerer" in the online thesaurus to come up with class ideas and and found the terms "witch doctor" and "wizard" as synonyms. Now that the Wizard has been announced, I think it's a fair bet that the rest of the classes are in the thesaurus as well (if you know where to look). It seems the thesaurus maybe the best place to look for the names of the next two classes. The following are some of the words I put in there (based on some archetypes yet to be used and some of the existing Diablo classes and WoW classes), and the synonyms that go alongside them:

• Priest - bishop, celebrant, chancellor, churchman, churchwoman, clergyman, clergywoman, cleric, dignitary, divine, ecclesiastic, father, flamen, flamen (rom. antiq.), friar, hierarch, hieromartyr, hierophant, lama, minister, monk, padre, padre (sp. amer. andindia), pastor, pontifex, pontiff, preacher, presbyter, priestess, rabbi, rector, shaman, vicar
