→The Fifth Character
* The fifth class will be announced at [[BlizzCon 2010]].[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2010-announced/]
* The fifth class was one of the first the [[D3 Team]] sketched out. (Likely meaning its a traditional RPG class.)
* There's no character in None of the game who first four classes specializes in bows or ranged weapons.
** The fifth character will fit a niche not occupied by any other character. [http://www.giantbomb.com/news/hands-on-with-diablo-iiis-street-fighter-inspired-monk-class/1658/]
* The fifth class is said to be very similar to/inspired by a class from an earlier game in the series. [http://pc.ign.com/articles/101/1017305p3.html]
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.”
