Forum:New Characters

Right now i've been looking at the game and im a little disappointed in the limits of characters in the game. So far in the Diablo series we've seen a bunch of character types. But in the new diablo it seems extremely limited. So far i dont see anything that would use any kind of a traditional ranged weapon. Bow, spear, throwing knives, ect. With all the types of characters we've seen there repeating classes, but still haven't had a ranger like character. Nor have they had a holy spell caster. The assian came closest to a 'rogue' character, but is still not that close. As well we are still limited to being human, it leaves me wanting. Any thoughts on the topic?

Both the rogue from Diablo 1 and the Amazon from Diablo 2 are bow users. They are very "Ranger Like". The Amazon has skills that turn spears into very deadly weapons, and the Barbarian from Diablo 2 has the ability to master it (increasing it's damage and crit chance). The Holy Caster is the Paladin from Diablo 2, as all of his spells are related to his religion. Remember, not all "holy spellmen" have to be cloth-wearing lunatics. --Cheomesh 16:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
