:''Were you looking for the term [[Range]]d?''
The '''Archer''' is a fan name for one of the likely common [[fifth character]] to be revealed at [[BlizzCon 2010RPG]]character archetype, October 22with some sort of non-23magical ranged attacker found in most such games and game worlds. The Diablo series is no exception to this rule.
__TOC__==BackgroundArcher Classes in the Diablo Series==It is widely assumed that the [[fifth character]] will be an archer, or some sort of specialist in [[range]]d attacks. Whether the class will be called an "archer" or "[[rogue]]" or something else is unknown.
* The {{iw|Rogue Rogue}} was the expert archer in Diablo I, though the character was the most versatile in the game, capable of success at melee combat with a sword and shield, or when properly equipped as a mini-mage.
There will be archery in * In Diablo 3II the {{iw|Amazon Amazon}} was the archer character, but only [[NPCs]] though it was possible to use a bow with some success with a few other character builds. Bow-devoted Amazons were commonly called "bowazons" and [[Skeletal Archer|monsters]] have been seen using [[bows]]they specialized entirely in archery, though hybrid 'zons were also popular, thus farmixing some spear or javelin skills in with the archery.
* Diablo III's archer character is the [[Demon Hunter]], the fifth and final class, which was revealed at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. There was little suspense about the reveal, since fans were almost universal in their expectation of an archer, though the specifics of the DH class vary enough from convention to pack some surprises.
It's not confirmed ==Archery NPCs== [[File:Follower interaction.jpg|frame|NPC Archers]]There were archery-specialized NPC mercenaries in Diablo II, and that practice continues in Diablo III. The [[scoundrel]], one of the last character three types of [[follower]], specializes in archery, and there are other archer NPCs to be revealed will be any ranged classfound and partnered with during short term quests throughout the game.  ==Archery Monsters== There have been monster archers in all of the Diablo games as well, with [[skeletons]], [[goatmen]], and corrupted humans most commonly fitting the arrow-firing role. That system continues in Diablo III, though only skeleton archers have been confirmed as of July 2011.
