Okay, I've read a lot of threads saying that the last class will be some sort of Rogue // Amazon type thing.
The whole point of this thread is to discuss how it won't be (or for you to prove me wrong). I will be using logic and citations to prove my case. Please be mature and discuss rationally.
We've seen several archetypes thus far in what Blizzard has released:
~Barbarian - Sword and Shield type pure Melee warrior
~Witch Doctor - Enemy Manipulation, Damage over Time, and minion creator
~Wizard - Pure caster
~Monk - Speed Powerhouse
And Damage Archetypes being;
~Pure Strong Melee (Barbarian)
~Disease and Fire (Witch Doctor)
~Lightning, Arcane, Cold (Wizard)
~Holy and Fast, Weaker Melee (Monk)
Being that each class is capable of decimating its opponent at all ranges, we can safely assume that the last class will be able to do that very same thing. Based on this strand of logic, the last class cannot be a pure ranged class.
So, now that I've finally laid my claim, I challenge you all to an honest debate as to why I'm wrong.
Well, it was mentioned that the last class was the most developed and re-imagined class. It could be a class that's mainly about ranged weaponry but has melee abilities to balance him out with the rest.
But there's a draw back to that. At least something that maybe no one else except Blizzard can pull off. Creating such a class into a magnificent, creative and powerful class that can match up or go above the other classes.
So it could also hold its own in melee fights. I agree with your logic. Every class is capable of holding their own in any fight, but they still have weaknesses. There's already a speed powerhouse, though you're forgetting that the monk isn't weak in damage. He's powerful and deals a lot of damage, but he can't take as much as the Barb. Just to point out. If you watch the interview videos about the Monk they'll mention he's powerful but he just can't take that many hits.
With that down I would go with the hunter, but not so much into speed. Possibly a class that also uses heavy armor. I think that's what's lacking. Maybe leather armor. But is proficient in bows, etc. The standard ranged weapons. But also using a unique melee weapon.
A name? The warden would suit that class. If its all leather then a Bard or a Hunter. Maybe a Bounty Hunter kind of name. We already have a tank so I wouldn't think the 5th class would take the tank role. Blizzard mentioned that the Barb is the tank.
Seems that they're also lacking the Ice Element and Earth Element, based on your info. This new class could use those two elements. The WD uses Fire and Disease (Poison), the Wizard uses Lightning and Arcane, the Monk uses Holy, Strength and Speed, the Barb uses Brute Strength. If not Earth could also be nature. Since the Barb's attack closely resemble earth quality elements. So it may look similar and Blizzard doesn't want that, they want them all to be unique and if they give you the Archetype name you can easily know what they can do.
