"Out of the darkened studies of Westmarch emerges the archivist, Diablo III's newest playable class. Proving once and for all that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword, the archivist fights not only to save Sanctuary's future, but its past as well.
To find out more, visit the brand-new archivist information page to read the latest excerpt from the journal of Abd al-Hazir and see some of the archivist's powers in action.
We've also expanded the media galleries with one new piece of artwork and two new screenshots."
Here's the impressive concept art for this new character who truly believes the pen is mightier than the sword!
These new screenshots showcase the Archivist's amazing "Book Vision" abilities along with his radial dialogue tree showing how he can outwit just about anybody in a conversation!

As if that wasn't enough, Blizzard has also announced their new MSPOG:
I know, I know... I couldn't believe it either. You can read all about it here.
I honestly think one year Blizzard should do it.
Announce a new game, make sure its something people have really wanting the company to do.
Do it on April 1st.
Everyone will think your just trolling them.
It would seriously launch the hype level through the roof, resulting in large profits when the game is released.
Then you could follow through and actually make the game worth the hype, and profit more.
They did that already. It was a game called StarCraft.
And yeah, it would be hilarious if Blizzard announced something real in among all the fake stuff. Or just plainly announced something real.
Yup. A very manly one.
Im sure your party would love waiting for the slow old man..... who smells like fart.
The April fools jokes more then likely were done in a matter of a couple of hours using slightly modified models and special effects that are already in the game so this talk about them wasting time and need to release new info when they just did in the Blizzcast (while not a ton of info or as astronomical as a new class but was still new info despite).
Seriously, if the only thing you have to say is "WoW this", "WoW that" and "Stop wasting time and give me the game now"..... just stfu and stop posting until you can actually say something that isn't 100% Blizzard bashing and bitching.
Blizzard is not wasting time and it should be evident enough by the mass amount of interface changes alone that were shown in the Blizzcast, stop acting like this little April fools joke set them back 10 months.
On a side note, I think the funniest part about the whole Archivest joke is that in every ability preview, he manages to get killed. Pretty damn funny watching that old man nuke the living hell of those goats to lol.
Yes, as they just announced that they are adding a 4th dimension to the game - scent! Immerse yourself into the world by smelling what your characters smells while traversing the catacombs of gothic chapels or trudging across arid deserts with this new breakthrough technology! Let the archivist's must permeate your senses as you indulge in the full roleplaying experience.
This particular feature truly renders the Archivist the pink elephant in the room because everybody knows where that smell is coming from - they just don't want to say anything.
But seriously.
I was sitting on my dinosaur when I read it and I fell off, I was laughing so hard.
I mean, aside from the obvious April fools skills, it would be interesting to play a class that isn't totally about utter destruction.
lmao
It's supposed to be Peter tho.
But yea I can see what you mean!
Last year's WoW prank was the Bard class. A bunch of months later, the weapon from the Bard class prank was added to the game and you could play guitar with it.
