Posts: 1,176	Well Blizzard said not too long ago that they would make their fans mad again with the next class announcement. When Wilson said this he was referring to the fact that the next class to be announced would be very similar to another class from Diablo II. Since we only have a few days before the next announcement for the franchise what are your predictions? So far our choices are (barb and Necro are out): - Sorceress - Paladin - Druid - Assassin - Amazon I am going to go with a class similar to the Amazon. --------------------------- http://www.youtube.com/joeorangesc Highest Rank in Platinum 1v1 48 Highest Rank in Platinum RT 10

Progenitor Posts: 68	I vote Zon as well, any way you cut it, bows are going to be in. As such a class that specializes in them is kind of, well, obvious. As long as they go with something more interesting than fire/ice arrow it will be good. --------------------------- We may be nothing in the eyes of the universe, but...well...that's all I got.

Master Swordsmen Posts: 874	Barb Witch Soceror Druid Amazon or some version of the ranged class Armored spell caster. Could be a dark or light paladin. --------------------------- ->Moderator<-

Posts: 1,176	Well I don't think anyone was mad at this announcement. Seems everyone is super happy about it :D Edit: And I must say I was dead wrong. --------------------------- http://www.youtube.com/joeorangesc Highest Rank in Platinum 1v1 48 Highest Rank in Platinum RT 10

Progenitor Posts: 68	Now that the wwwizard is out, my best guess is a melee/magic combo like the pally was...though not as boring. I expect alot of zazz with their next character. --------------------------- We may be nothing in the eyes of the universe, but...well...that's all I got.

Worldmaker Posts: 1,456	I think it'll be more of an amazon class... of muslim/egyptian origin. ---------------------------

Posts: 93	Spellbound Oct 15, 10:14 PM I think it'll be more of an amazon class... of muslim/egyptian origin. Now that you mention it? How does a ranged paladin-ish class sound? Think something like a pharaoh (though minus the king part). Pharaohs were considered incarnations of gods, and did battle atop chariots using bows. --------------------------- Avatar taken from explosm.net

Worldmaker Posts: 1,456	Pharaoh fought in wars??? I must have missed that part... my guess of the ranged/agility class in D3 is precisely some sort of ranged paladin - the Dervish. Gotta post it again... ---------------------------

Posts: 93	Yeah Pharaohs do fight in wars. And yep, the forums are pretty empty. It'll be nice to see your Dervish ideas (and new ones if any) again. Oh btw, Blizzard actually considered having a skill wheel system, but ditched it in favour of the simple tiered spell system. --------------------------- Avatar taken from explosm.net

Posts: 3	Maybe an angel? (I had to say something :p) Or perhaps a ranger tank?

The Aesthete Posts: 465	As they pointed out when they were going through that panel, using a wheel for skills doesn't actually end up being any different except in aesthetic terms. ---------------------------

Worldmaker Posts: 1,456	I was like, WTF, when Blizzard showed their Skill Wheel idea - although it didn't look too similar to mine, lol. I'll need to changed the Dervish's Skill Wheel (well, change the Skill System itself) before I post it again. I'll need to review the current skill system - didn't catch any of it even when watching that video... ---------------------------
