Demon Hunters Confirmed for Diablo III

Unread postby News Portal » 23 Oct 10, 12:19 pm

Blizzcon 2010 is now underway, and Blizzard has taken this opportunity to formally announce the fifth and final class for [app=4089]Diablo III[/app]: the Demon Hunter.

A ranger-esque support class, Demon Hunters will make use of crossbows that shoot a variety of flaming, exploding, and entangling munitions.

They're handy with knives, too...

Cool I guess.

I find it difficult hearing about games (and thereby getting excited) that aren't due for a looong time.

Seems a little underwhelming

I think it's an interesting character, dual crossbow's with shadow magic and gadget's. Throws some cool grenades too. Almost seems a bit like the Vanquisher from Torchlight.

In the end how many original classes can they come up with they are all going to be in a melee, ranged, magic archetypes and simply varieties of those.

I say that the events after the end of Lord of Destruction probably spawned new sects in the world of Sanctuary. Remember that this game is set a few decades after Diablo 2.

Can't wait for this game to come out... Battle.net better be ready for the number of people who are going to be grinding away online.

Lorewise or whatever that's pretty dull and hideously sterotypical I AM SWORN TO ERADICATE THE DEMONSPAWN NO MATTER THE COST, but mechanics wise they sound awesome. Squee.

Ah! but you see, if we are still being called upon once more to save the lands as other classes. They aren't doing their jobs very well. Really they are demon hunters just as much as any other class in D3.

Damn demon hunters stealing all the glory.

So are you saying that every gamer who has played the Diablo games to date are not doing their job well at all? That's a pretty big dis!

LOL. No, No.

We are doing our jobs well. I'm saying that the Demon Hunters aren't doing their jobs well if us 'other classes' need to jump in and sort this mess out again.

Everyone who played Diablo in the past has done a good job and clicked well!
