With the release of Diablo 4 not even set for 2021, fans will have plenty of time to continue speculating for the foreseeable future. Again, playstyles among different class builds are as varied as the classes themselves so almost any archetype seems like a possibility. Although a new version of the Paladin/Crusader more similar to a DnD Cleric would not be out of the question. Other fans are expecting the addition of a dedicated healer class to Diablo 4, but because of the need to balance the game for solo play, that may prove unlikely. If that ends up the case, the class would probably feature some elements of the Demon Hunter like traps and long-ranged weapons but without the ability to summon animals as per the presence of the Druid.Ĭustomizing playstyle was a big part of Diablo 3 so adding more options to the base abilities of the Demon Hunter to facilitate more close-quarters combat might end up being the route that Blizzard takes. A blend of the Demon Hunter and other elements of the Rogue and Assassin would seem likely if not the return of the Demon Hunter outright. Based on the available classes, Barbarian, Druid, and Sorcerer, the game needs at least one ranged fighter to round out the ranks in terms of party composition.

With such a deep history of classes in Diablo to pull inspiration from, narrowing down the possibilities for what a new class could look like can be tough. Some wonder whether the Demon Hunter will return or one of the other older classes like the Paladin or the Assassin, but if the series' history of introducing new classes with each iteration continues, fans are left to wonder about what that class might be. The archetypes available for players to use set the expectations for character growth and what kinds of playstyles players will be able to create within the game. Class systems have become one of the most integral parts of a good action RPGs success with fans, and Diablo 4 will be no different.
