The more I think about what Diablo III is missing for character class #5, the more certain I am for what is in store for us.

First off, Diablo III is missing some kind of an archer class. You cannot have a Diablo game without some character class that loads the screen with arrows. But the class cannot simply revolve around the bow and arrow. It needs a second or third perk that makes it a highly replayable and interesting character to play.

When I think about what accomodates archery well, I instantly think of some kind of stealth. Diablo games have never toyed with the idea of stealth, and this is an opportunity to introduce it. Perhaps a whole skill tree could be dedicated to skills dealing with stealth - but it hard to imagine skills that would properly fill the skill tree. You can have a simple "Stealth" skill that allows you to walk around unseen, but what more could the Stealth tree offer? This is what would be tricky to figure out...

And another secondary perk (or possibly a third) that would accomodate an archer would be traps. It sounds strange, but when I say traps, I don't mean the ones the Assassin used in Diablo II. I'm talking old fashioned traps that would be very different from what you're used to seeing. Snares? Maybe some underground spikes that spring up? You could think of lots of ideas. I think it would also be nice to have some traps that don't damage the enemy, but perhaps debuff the enemy, making them easier to attack with the bow.

I strongly feel that the next Diablo III character class will be an archer, and it will be rightly named, the Hunter.

Rogue is from Diablo I, and is highly unlikely to return.
Thief fits the description, but is not deep enough of a title to fit a class.

hey, is this the same deal with the jehova witnesses predicting the end of the world dates 50 times past over the past 10 years?

She never forced me. I just value what she wants a lot. That's what marriage is about. We make decisions together about what sort of media we have in the house. It's not so much that she ordered me to never play the game, it's more that I wanted her to be happy.

She asked me if I wanted our 9 month old daughter to watch me play (and she would, she very much likes spending time with us parents), and I said no. I don't put much stock in the whole "do as I say, not as I do," philosophy. My daughter is very smart, and wants to do everything her parents do (it's uncanny really). If I can turn the blood down, both me and my wife will be more comfortable with me playing the game with my daughter climbing up my legs while I sit. I'd rather not hide things from either of them.

Do you think that the people responsible will get what's coming to them?

I have been thinking that the last class has to have some sort of medium to heavy armor. So far, the WD, the Wiz, and the Monk all use lighter armor. In a game like Diablo, you can't have every class using light armor. So, however they spin the ranged class I think it will make use of some heavier armor.
