In my head, I can picture some character coming out of the dry steppes, sandy and earthy, and is able to control the earth (ground.) The character would be efficient in spears/ javs and bows to cover the physical ranged gap the other characters don't encompass, and use it's ability to control the earth element defensively and passively. No one really mentioned anything about any character controlling the earth element, i think it would be pretty badass for a charatcer to have a crazy defensive abilities with stone shields or what have you and be able to throw a spear or an arrow imbued with the force of an earthquake.
Not that I would want to rip a class straight from WoW and give it similar properties, I think it would transfer well to D3 and offer much-needed versatility. It would also allow TRAPS to make their way back into the game, since the Assassin is not.

A belief in no God is a belief in everything. It is a belief in the unfathomable number of events of blind chance required for every living thing to be here.
Ok, I still stand by my choice of Hunter/Ranger/Pathfinder category.
Range attacks could be a skill tree on its own. Marksmanship skills, some range buffs, etc...
Other skill trees could be some Shadowy form of martial arts (think of the Rogue in D&D) where stealth (moving around undetectable) for a period of time plays a crucial part. You can't kill what you can't see right? Heh...
Or some kind of favourite/hatred enemy skill tree (think of Rangers in D&D) where bonuses apply to a group/category of enemies, undead, beasts, demons, etc... Some crowd control skills here would be awesome, in case players decide to go close combat instead of range.
I still stand by my choice of a Ranger/Pathfinder sort of class.
Probably a nature woodsman/tracker/hunter sort of class.
Can't wait till they announce the 5th class!
When is Blizzcon again?
I would agree with others that the last class should be some kind of range type of class...
Looking at the classes now, Barbarian practically stays more or less the same with some different skills...
Witch-Doctor & Wizard are essentially Necromancer & Sorcerer respectively but with a more contemporary D&D class vibe...
Now the Monk class is like a combination of Paladin & Assassin classes...
So my guess over the next class would be somewhere along the lines of a Druid & Amazon classes....
Probably a Ranger of nature or some kind of Pathfinder that uses the surroundings to his/her advantage...
The class would be able to deal deadly range attacks, hide in the shadows, disrupt & slow enemy movement...
My guess is that this class is also able to deal bleeding damage...
The 5th class has been announced. Demon Hunter. Now I have picked 3 people For guessing correctly. I did a (ctrl - F) search and searched demon to find anyone who couldve talked about a demon hunter type class.
Bannik-the magic about blizzard is that they sometimes lie or tell half truths for example in world of warcraft they said goblins would never be a race for the alliance or horde...but now they tell us otherwise..
sure guns are out of the question but what defines a gun....we could get a class that uses crossbows with explosive tipped bolts...like rambo...who the hell knows what blizzard is thinking....
who would have thought that blizzard would make a Buddhist monk a class (with dragon ball influence, seriously can you see how high he jumps....he would destroy any class in melee combat...)
*I feel this guy was the closest. Based on how the 5th class works he was probably the closest to being correct.*
Legilimens - Demon Rogue
Dmcdaniel@ucmerced.edu - Demon-Hunter
*Also including these for Saying a somewhat correct assumption of the class! *
Since the final class was announced and the contest is finished, i'll be closing the thread.
To discuss it, please move to the The Demon Hunter Unveiled on the news section..

D1 hellfire class they worked + can use spells\bow
And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell...
