→Next Revealed Class?
===Next Revealed Class?=Wizard Hints==The third class to be revealed was the [[Wizard]], who debuted at Blizzcon, October 13, 2008. Jay Wilson]] said hinted at the following to Wizard in advance, in an interview with Videogamer.com: [http://www.videogamer.com/pc/diablo_3/preview-1253-2.html]
::''All the [[barbarian]] players are delighted and all the [[necromancer]]s hate us. I understand, I don't begrudge them that. I would hate me too! But what I would say is that when we announce the next class, which is quite similar to a previous class, then all those players will hate us too. You can't make everybody happy, but I think when the game finally come out players will find there's a good class for them, one they will love as much as the ones that came before. And if they don't, I absolutely promise that in the expansions we'll consider bringing back old classes. We just don't want to do it with the first release. We want to establish our identity.''
==Next Revealed Class?==
Blizzard has not yet given any hints about the fourth and fifth characters we'll see in the initial release of Diablo III. Fan consensus was that there would surely be a mage-type character, with various sorts of magic for offense. The Wizard filled that pedigree nicely, but also removed the only widely-agreed upon character type. It seems certain that Blizzard will include an archer type character, one who specializes in the bow and perhaps other ranged weapons, but what fiction or other sort of skills this character would have to compliment his/her bow is open to wild speculation. As for the fifth character, wild speculation abounds.
