It has been sometime since we got an update from Blizzard regarding Diablo 3. So to waste my time, I started my own speculations on what other classes that Blizzard might implement in Diablo 3.

Ranger

Ranger

The classic range damage dealer class, a counter part of Amazon from Diablo 2 as one might say. Proficient with ranged weapons, these hunters ca either hunt alone or followed by their faithful beast companion . Living off in the forest, they hone their hunting skills and stalk their preys with silently till they strike it down with a precise shot. But this time, they will face the greatest hunt of all time. Armies of Evil are here and tracking down their leader are more perilous than any woodland.

I first thought about the ranger class because he would compensate the lack of a physical range damage dealer in the game. I do expect bow and crossbows to drop in the game and who else is more fitting to use them other than the ranger. They would have the range capability of an Amazon with powerful companion like the Druid.

Clerics

Cleric

Do not let the name fool you. While some may practice a pacifist life of praying to their Gods, other are not afraid to stand up to protect their beliefs with their fist. Trained in combat, they can excel in fighting while at the same time provide support spells to themselves and their allies. Having one in the party would boost the party’s power tremendously. A Cleric know little spells that would harm a human but against undead or demons, is like putting a child against an orge. These demons would not stand a chance against the cleric’s holy might and blessed steels.

Try to imagine the Warrior Priest in the MMO, Warhammer and you will get the rough idea of what they are capable of. They are the paladin class of Diablo 3, filling in the role of buffer. Not to mention we will have a hybrid melee caster class with the Cleric around.

Rogue

Rogue

While Demons are spreading over the world, everyone will be affected by it. That even includes individuals that makes a living outside of the law. It is the perfect time to do some thieving with all the chaos that is risen by untold evils but their wealth will be for naught if they become underlings of Evils. With their livelihood threatened, they are not going to sit around and let the demons pocket their loot! And afterall, they may find some treasures during their adventure.

A rogue nicely fit in the overall class rooster. Having the Barbarians as the brute force melee, the Rogue will have a different side where they rely on taking oppurtunity and sneak attacks to win. No method is too dirty to ensure a victory.
