Diablo 3
McTaggart:
I really hope they do pull out something surprising and new instead of just going the D&D style ranger/druid. Or at least put an interesting spin on it. Hell even just change up the elements they're assiciated with or something.
Mr. Doctor:
I'm very exited about this... I remember when I first saw the wall of zombies, it was totally badass. I guess I would try a female witch doctor :P I really liked the fact that you can make female or male characters from every class.

Yeah, it is amazing how much more fun an elemental ranger was in TQ, for example. An Arcane/Holy Archer build would be a pretty cool twist, and would provide an excellent way of slipping a healer into the game. Most dedicated healers need to be out of melee range anyway, so why not give them bows? They could even explain it by saying that after the events of D2 the Amazons took refuge with the leftovers of the Horodrim and became/trained Horodric Archers. That would be a bit more lore-centric and interesting, I think.
McTaggart:
I don't think we'll end up with any straight healing abilities let alone any classes geared strongly towards that; as far as skills that were known as of last blizcon there don't even seem to be much in the way of group abilities. Maybe I'm expecting more than I should considering it's not an mmo but I figured that multiplayer would be a really big focus of the game. I hope that the last class has barb/paladin/druid style group buffs. I was hoping that every class would be able to fill both primary roles (dps, tank) and also be able to be useful support.
TheFuriousWombat:
Definitely hoping they add in a ranger type. The Rouge was my favorite D1 character by far (the Wizard was too awful in the early game to make it anything but frustrating and I thought bows were cooler than swords I guess) and I played through D2 a couple times with an Amazon who are actually really awesome if balanced correctly. I just hope all the D3 characters are, in fact, balanced right in terms of skill power and such. I played through D2 with the Assassin and the Druid and both were way too powerful. For the Druid, I just used the same couple elemental attacks from about the mid-game on and all but breezed through, only dying a couple times before facing Baal, whose always a pain in the ass. In any case, I think they certainly will add a ranged character of some type. Don't know what they'll call it but I would imagine it'll be like the Amazon and good with the gamut of ranged weapons and the Druid with animal summoning/possibly shapeshifting since the other characters don't seem to possess those abilities.
A side note, not sure on which side of the argument I would fall but technically the Monk isn't new to the Diablo series, despite how the devs are advertising the Barbarian as the only holdover. I guess some people wouldn't consider Hellfire canon since it wasn't a Blizzard game but it was set in the Diablo universe. That monk was pretty cool and mean with a staff. I think I might be one of the few Hellfire fans in the world, however...
