-This fairly-silly assumption acts as though Blizzard isn't going to redesign their entire site, change the font or spacing of the other character names, etc. Under the condition that Blizzard will just ''add another class'' to the list, a 5-character long name (or shorter) would be the logical alternative, and people are already rooting for the [[Rogue]] to return anyway.

 ==The Demon Hunter==
-At Blizzcon 2010, it was revealed that the fifth and final playable class in Diablo 3 is the Demon Hunter. She is mainly a long-ranged class with the ability to use dark magic. Little is known what this magic will be like, or if it will even use mana. She is a new type of character in the Diablo universe.  The class's female version was the first announced, like the Wizard before her.

 Like the four classes before her, she debuted with five of her skills on display. The first of these skills was the "Grenade" skill.

-::'''Jay Wilson:''' No. The fourth class is playable in game but is using a placeholder model -- one of an NPC, actually. And all of the skills are what we call "programmer art" because we haven't implemented actual skill effects. So that one is just in gameplay testing for us while we determine signature skills.

 The fact that the class was chosen first, he said, was part of the reason why it needs to be re-tooled. “We’ve had this class for four years, and it’s not as exciting to us as it used to be,” he said. “It had actually become a chain around our necks.” The new class isn’t a “complete departure” from the first concept, Wilson said. “Most of the skills can transfer over, but (the changes) definitely freed up our art staff to be a lot more imaginative.”
