BlizzCon '09: New Diablo III Class: The Monk

[Low Key]

I've always been a warrior/barbarian player, but I might have to experiement with the monk. I didn't really like the him in Hellfire too much, but that gameplay video looks awesome.

Holy crap! I want this game soooo much right now!

Whelp I think I have just found my first play through class.

Do say what cannot be unspoken.

We still don't know about 5th, or maybe even 6th or 7th class they might show...

I think I am pretty safe in my early assessment, it's doubtful a stealth/melee/assassin class would be announced after this. If not I will graciously accept my comeuppance and burst some hearts with the Monk.

Only 5 classes they've said over and over and over and over and over again.
Maybe more classes in an expansion. Maybe.

For those following this closely: Wilson already stated that the 5th and final class will be a second returning class.

IGN: You did mention that it's being revealed next year, and that it's someone from the previous games?

Jay Wilson: I did say that. I probably shouldn't have said that, because we're not sure that's going to be the case. It's just logical, that's what we tend to do. But it may or may not. I'm not gonna answer it, anyway? [laughs]

Best money is on the Rogue/Amazon.
But you never know. They may throw class mechanics to the wind and bow to public support and bring back the Necro. If they bring the druid back he'll be more shapeshifting and less summoning. Those 4 seem the most logical to me at least.

I would say the number 1 most likely is the Rogue.
2: Amazon
3: Druid
4: Necro

i think druid was sort of taken by WD. this is sad cause dru' > WD anyday.
monk (looks like what WoW had been asking for as a class for a long long time) would have taken the Ass/Pally role, maybe the 'Zon too.
not much is left really.

my money is that #5 is necro' but i'd rather dru'. gotta love the WW+bear combo, specially with that crazy ass attack the WW had that attacked like, 5 times in one.
