Ew. No, that was a horrible thing about it. That's why each class has its own skills. You want whirlwind, play with a barb, no need for it to be on an assassin. I HATED the idea of other players using teleport, it just makes the game feel so hacked. It's gay. Blizz, don't do it!!! I don't mind items adding to skills, ONLY for that class that the skill belongs to.
I dont know why people hate this so much...-_-'.. all i know is i want that kind of items in d3 and skills that items can only give and not class skills but skills that you get only if you have the item. and if you people dont like the items find some thing else and dont use the times that gives skills....-_-'
AGREED, Barb my definite favorate, he defines power
See, I always felt that what makes the barb unique in D2 are his warcries, his support skills. Sure, he can kill things well, but so can most of the other classes. Sorc is a damage machine, so is a trap assassin, so is a LF javazon, and I don't think anyone hits harder than a Hammerdin. But the tactical capabilities of the barb to control the battlefield with Taunt/Howl/Grim Ward or Leap/War Cry to stun everything, and augmenting the team with BO/BC/Shout are what always attracted me to the class. I also love playing him as a tank, with concentrate. While everyone else is seemingly focused on doing as much damage as possible, I'm the one who inevitably saves everyone's asses when things get tough ;).
Why does everyone want the necro assin an druid back? They had to be the slowest killing chars in the game. An would explain y they were always the last class to have a 99 and were the classes with the fewest 99's. If were going back to 5 classes do it old school. barb sorcs pally amazon an sure replace the necro with the witch doctor. Thats been the weakest char outa the 5 (except for hc cuz they never die) an besides that zombie wall will kick the crap out of any skill the necro had.
Come on guys, we all know what the three remaining classes are.
4.Rouge
And heres why: This one is completely obvious, DUH. There will be an Amazon type character, Rouge fits male and female, it can encompass all aspects of fighting. This is a no brainer.
5. Seraph (Paladin Class)
I agree with those that don't like the WitchDoctor... especially if he/she is forever stuck wearing feathers.
The Rogue/Amazon seems unnecessary if you have a Barbarian and Paladin. I would much rather have an Assassin.
I'm OK with a Paladin class, but don't really want angels, nor do I particularly like the name Seraph. Speaking of names....
I don't like the name WitchDoctor either. What I'd like D3 to allow is for us to choose the name of our class and for that to show up in BNet or single player. I'd like to see a range of possible titles - probably depending on gender, but maybe that's a bit too parochial, out of millions of gamers out there there has to be at lease one or two TG folks who would prefer to choose a male title with female character or vice versa. So, Blizzard programmers, please don't assign names to the classes, let us choose what we want our character to be called.
For example, we could choose: magus, wizard, warlock, sorcerer, mage, magician, conjurer, wise man, wise woman, sorceress, witch, spell binder, spell caster, etc.
Then we could have a barbarian, viking, marauder, figher, amazon, harpy, mongol, etc.
And a thief, assassin, ninja, shadow, trapmaster, trickster, silent knife, etc.
And a paladin, guardian, crusader, defender, protector, vengance, etc.
And because we're stuck with the witchdoctor (when I would much rather have the necormancer or druid both of whom I think will get dropped in favor of the WD), we could have a wise man, wise woman (yes overlap possible wth magus character unless the developers think that's a bad idea), shaman, medicine man, herbalist, hedge wizard, vodoo priest, vodoo priestess, cultist, summoner, etc.
Please stop the constant animation on Diablo 3 character classes pages. The barbarian looks like he is hyperventilating and the witch doctor looks like either either has Parkinson's disease or is really coked up and can't stand still.

ya i want the old bar anime where he is sharpening his axe and goes errrrrrrrrr i want that bar anime in d3 be similar to that of d2 in terms of showing his power, in d3 bar anime looks so similar to druids anime in d2....wtf
I already know I'm going to raise a Barbarian. I don't care so much about the number of classes as I do about the quality of the classes. I would like it if there was a wielder of bow and arrows; but whether it is a rogue, an amazon, or one of those knee-high, jibberish-speaking hellspawn from the Flayer Jungle doesn't matter to me. Even if there is not an archer type character I doubt if I will be disappointed. Just give me good, strong, fun-to-play-with characters to raise in the game. Blizzard and Diablo have a good record for that.

Didn't you know? All the tribes in Diablo universe use coke!!
Go witch doctor, I actually like him now, lol, if I can play as a drugged out crack head!!
QUICK someone make a gif of the witchdoctor with the Dave Chappelle crack head on it!!!!
I'm a huge barb fan, so I'm already pumped that my favorite class is staying. Looks like he has some paladin skillz now too. Weren't warriors in D1 kinda a mix of Paladin and Barb I forget what it said exactly in the D1 manual?
So, I hope they make Lances good for Barbs again. I want a Lance ww barb like I had in classic all those years ago. I really don't like the way dual wielding looks... and I don't like axes or mauls either, I'm a sword and lance barb all the way, hope we get some D3 barb videos with barb using those kind of weapons soon

A lot of people want the Necromancer back because of the impact they had on the lore of the world. The novels shed a lot of light on Necromancers as a group and truely explain them, in a way the game simply doesn't. Then there are of course Druid and Assassin fanboys out there that want those two classes back simply because they love them.
I'm not sure you can actually back up the fact that "the necro is the weakest of the original five classes."
All of them have their strengths and weakness, but the Necro stood out as a class that could not only dish out decent spell damage (after the synergy patch), but can also spec in the summon tree and make an army that can solo Hell Diablo and Hell Baal. To top that off they were given curses to completely cripple their enemies. So... lets not say the necro suck. Hell, they're probably the most well rounded class in Diablo 2 now after all is said and done. Plus they've got really the only mass debuffs. Pretty spiffy.
As for Paladins making a return? Probably not in their original form. I do see them being renamed "Knight of Zakarum" or simply "Knight" and being a holy crusader with more focus on their protective and group aura magics and less on the "Zeal" line, which in my opinion didn't really show the true colors of the Knights of Zakarum. They can't completely axe the paladin concept without replacing it. It was a vital support/defensive melee class.
I don't see Amazons coming back as Amazons. They were monster DPS dealers, but had little to no connection to the Diablo Lore and I can easily see them being replaced by a "Rogue" stylized who specializes in stealth and bow combat. Honestly this is the hardest one to figure. Who knows what they'll put here... or maybe they'll just keep the amazon and completely rebuild her. Who knows!
And the Sorceress? I bet they completely remake the class, since the sorceress in Diablo 2 was a member of a rebellious female sorcerer coven who defied the ways of the Eastern Clans and their Male Sorcerers. I bet the class is completely re-built. With each different spell tree focusing on completely different things, as opposed to D2 Sorc which has each line dealing damage but applying different status effects. I'm betting the D3 Sorc has a pure damage line, a buffing line (like Enchant only lots of different ways and types) and a pure debuffing line. Replacing the necromancers "Debuff curses" such as Decrepify and Amplify Damage.
The zombie wall? It's cool and I bet it will be a good ability, but I doubt it will be nearly as powerful as they elude it to be in the demo. I bet it will be like Bone Wall + Wall of Fire and will only do minor damage allowing you time to throw in spells. I don't think they're going to make it do a good amount of damage itself.
Anyways... yeah it looks like the Necromancer won't be coming back, but it ties into the novels pretty well (go read them... they're actually pretty good and they explain a lot of the Diablo Lore) as does the addition of the witch doctor, which explains in a lot of ways an entire group of people in the diablo universe that have yet to be represented.
Paladin/Crusader/knight is a must have " Where there is darkness it has to be light" ...and wth? why would having Paladin be Wowish? what game came first? WoW or Diablo2? its more like wow is diablish
I just sure hope ALL the other base character classes will be there from the original Diablo/Diablo2/LOD, as in Paladin, Amazon, Necro,... They just have to be.
Now what do I personally think of the new "Witch Doctor"? I thought it was an epileptic person with a halloween mask on. no insult intended but geeeezus ! maybe the female version is little better ?
Man I hope they bring back the assassin, especially with the male version.
I think they could do a lot with that class, since it's the coolest. xD
I like those characters who are mysterious and brutal, where their motives
aren't typical. I can see good content with that.
You know what would be sweet? If they had a class that was like.. half demon, half human.
Like some of his body is all messed up. I doubt they'd ever do this though, lol.
Well the Witch Doctor seems to be a mix of the necro from D2 and the warlock from WoW with some of the DoTs along with the idea of the skills (diseases) spreading. With the classic RPG character set in mind we already have the huge heavy hitting and the summoner. So they still need the fragile and heavy caster class (Sorc or another name), more durable and less heavy hitter ranged class (Amazon w/ or w/o melee skills?), and a combo melee/caster (the Paladin everyone seems to like oh so much).
Blizzard has liked to break the trend at times but also stick to the classic recipe which is more along the lines for the Diablo franchise so regardless of what names Blizzard chooses, this will probably be the line up.
i personally think they are limiting the number of classes so they can release an expansion with 2 or even three this time, new classes
ive said it before and ill say it again the way you guys talk about the other three unrevealed classes is just plain boreing. bringing back the amazon and sorc, thats boreing. i think blizzard has 2 more completly different classes they will release and one more class from d2. the paladin or some kind of holy knight. amazon = gone, sorc = gone. of course there will be a heavy fragile castor but it willl not be anything like the sorc. blizzard has already said only 2 classes will be carried from D2
im starting to think that half of you should just stick with D2 forever. bitching about wanting all the classes to return. THATS BOREING. i want new completly different chars to play
Who said we were bitching? We just stated we think blizzard will bring them back. I personally hated the sorc..what a boring char..and aside from the amazons guided arrow..what good was she?

That's why its probably will be called a ranger
otherwise, I don't think the melee-caster class will be called cleric, as cleric is too commonly used in other games.
