Two words: Barbarian, Wizard. "Cliche"? Are you serious? Think before you bash.
Quote from "Scipio" »
But I would rather see some other skills than "beastmastery".
Not a fan of Druids, then? Or Necros?
Quote from "Valtonis" »
aren't summons considered "pets"?
Yes, I use the words interchangeably.
You people know that if they debut a Hunter for Diablo that you'll love it. For all we know they'll be a secretive, nomadic tribe heiling from the barren regions, expert trackers and slayers of demons, wearing they skeletons as trophy and armor. There, that solves incorporating demons into the classes, too.

Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.

I'm going to tackle this from a much less analytical perspective, but delve more into the lore. All my assertions will ultimately likely be erroneous, but it's fun, so here goes...
The characters, lore-wise, are not exactly "main stream". The same could be said of the characters in previous games -- they're all representatives of fringe groups. However, they are each known to some degree and accepted.
The characters in D3 so far are, arguably, even more maligned. Witch Doctors have had next to no experience with the outside world; monks are feared for their awesome might; barbarians have fallen by the way side and may fit into the Barbarian stereotype even more so as unpredictable, raving nomads; Wizards are magical upstarts and ronins.
These characters also represent a variety of ethnic groups.
My thought is that the last character may be some form of hunter, a ranged individual with pets, perfect for long-distance attack. Ultimately a combination of Assassin and Amazon. Native American, perhaps.
Yes, each of the character classes can do it all, but each is also specialized to fall into specific niches in combat. So far we don't have a specialized range option.
That's my opinion.

Enough people go insane in Diablo; how about some sanity regaining itself?
