    Wasnt the Demon Hunter announced and posted here a LONG time ago?

    Also, Blizzard has said Diablo 3 will probably be pushed back and will no longer be released this year.
    In another statement made by Activision, they said something about Blizzard will no longer be having a major releases in 2011.

    apparently that is a serious offense around here as well, even though each person has the capacity to determine if the information is useful to themselves or not.... just sayin'

    if you think they wasted your time by "making" you read it, then you wasted mine by responding.

    Any information is good information. Even if it has been posted already a "Long time ago" or not. Its been awhile since anyone has posted on D3.

    ^this. I flipped back a few pages and didn't see anything so figured I would start up a new one. I didn't say: STOP THE PRESSES NEW SHIT!

    Just checked it out. The class was revealed at the last Blizzcon, but they released the male demon hunter in the past week. Just to clarify things.

    As far as we know its basically an assassin mixed with a archer.

    Truthfully, I'm so far quite disappointed with the classes. Demon hunter looks crap to me, I would rather just have a pure assassin, not a ranged one.

    Mage is fine,
    Barbarian is fine,
    Witch docotor doesnt appeal much,
    Monk doesnt seem to appeal much,


    I was strongly looking forward to continuing with Necromancer class. If they don't put the class in game it will be a great disappointment to me.

    Also, no druid ?, paladin ? .....meh, they better release more decent classes.
    They only originally said there were to be 5 classes, so doesn't look good.

    They better have more then those 5 classes or this game is going to fail hard, regardless of being Diablo.

    Really? I love the demon hunter, cause he's the only one who looks super badass. I don't wanna play a bloody monk or some overgrown half naked giant. And what the hell kind of class is a witch doctor :\

    Monk is probably the most interesting to me. We'll probably have to wait for an expansion for anything else though.

    Ha I knew about this but didn't think it was worthy of an update to the huge thread.

    Kind of hard to think that they left out 2 MEGA popular classes like Paladin and Necro

    Yer that's what got me. I mean it just doesn't make sense. The two most popular classes that everyone loved and they exclude them....

    Ironically, the Paladin and Necromancer were probably my two least favourite Diablo 2 classes... though Necromancer is definitely my preferred of those two.

    Possibly they didn't want to just re-do old classes, despite popularity. Otherwise it would just be Diablo 2 with better graphics and different story - which I guess Blizzard is good at doing anyway, so nevermind!

    I think the monk is "paladin like" and the witch dotor is "necro like". With DH being "Amazon/Assassin Like". The monk is the biggest stretch but we'll see.
