User blog comment:Archantyrael/Fifth Class Character?/@comment-99.236.240.37-20100709121533

I think that the chances are not very high at all that the last class will be a knight/paladin type of character since we have two physical classes rigth now, barbarian and monk. We may get a knight class in an expansion though.

A shape shifter seems more like an expansion class. The fifth class needs to be the only class blizzard hasnt put in yet. Physical ranged, which means this class should use either or all of these, bow/xbow,javalins,throwing knives.

If blizzard makes it so this "archer" has melee ability in combat but can only do this by turning into an animal form then this may work to be a shape shifting class, but not a pure shifter who just depends on using different forms for all combat.
