What could it be...?
Now there is something else that is very interesting that captures our sight (pictured left) and those are the first sheets that are closest to our view. They may possibly show one of the five classes, but which one? What characteristics do we have? We can see that this appears to be a woman, who looks very similar to the female version of the wizard. But this is actually the wizard? We can see on the middle and right sheets that she has some kind of a sword in her hand and on her back. Now, on the picture on the right we have the same female class but by the looks of things her armor is more warrior based, a little bit reminding us of gladiator armors of old times especially the helmet. At first sight it looks like she is holding a bow, but she actually isn't and she has what looks to be a sword in one of her arms.
Now on the other side (pictured right) we have ten sheets. On the first two pictures we can see a male and a female version of a character. However, this class doesn't seem to be familiar to us because if it was the witch doctor the visuals would have dark skin and by the looks of things their skin is white. Its neither the Wizard, Barbarian, nor the Monk because we already know how these look and these two here have absolutely nothing that resembles any of the aforementioned classes. On the next 6 pictures there is quite a bit of light which prevents us from seeing what actually is there. But there is one thing which is very similar in all of those pictures - the silhoutte is absolutely the same for the male and female pictures. Could this be the so longed for fifth class? And Blizzard is being more and more open on updates and teases as of late which can mean only one thing - they are very far ahead (even Bashiok confirmed this) that they are confident enough to give us bits and pieces of what's actually going on.
Bashiok added that these pictures are several months old and that a lot of change has occurred sine the time this picture was taken. There was also mention that the last class to be revealed was actually the first in concept but the character has gone through a major change. Could these pictures actually be pictures of the last class to be revealed, at least before they changed it? Probably not but what else could it be...?
You can also see more ideas about the wall in this post by Doomscream.
Once again, this article was written by Akuma_Gin. If you have any ideas that you would like to share with DiabloFans, please see this thread with details on just how to do that.
Official Blizzard Quote:
"A shot of what we call our Monster Wall. It’s a visual chart that tracks completion on character armor and monster development."
I know they are putting more work into NPC's this time around but overall armor completion on a whole wall would be more likely for the main character's armor.
I admit it could be some humanoid raider enemy too.. I dunno, Looks cool tho
Buuuuuuut, given that thus far we have no agile ranged class, a raider-style character would fit that archetype quite well.
I can definitely see it being from the Dreadlands, like a survivalist type character who has adapted techniques from the flora and fauna of the dreadlands, all types of badass poisons n' such. As well as stealth and trickery.
Looks like an occultist from the monk footage to me...
Can there be any doubt???
The so called sword on the right hand photo is actually one of the clear tacs that is holding up the picture, and the so called sword on the back in the middle picture is partly a shadow from that same tac. Last but not least the other so called sword on the left hand picture is also a tac.
Sorry to burst the bubble.
Nice article Akuma.
i dont think they added the class even there, just added something to increase the hype till they finally share something (Blizzcon is still a long time away, damn).
its too far away for details and from the history of armor sets, even cloth looks like plate
also, they said that each character set looks unique on each class, meaning multiple sets will be used by all classes, making my assumption more realistic. its just not like Blizzard to show anything of the new classes long before they show them completely, and such a bad quality image makes it far less possible.
