Diablo III is for real

[kandrathe]

I'm assuming there will be a ranged attacking class, a ninja or samurai would be a nice choice. As a ninja you would be fast, nimble, use some traps and exotic weapons and maybe blow darts and bows. A samurai would likely have more strength, my opinion.

I would guess there will be another warrior type class. Something not as strong as the barbarian but strong in other ways, like the paladin was. We'll be interesting to see what they have for us.

I would enjoy the assassin "ninja" being able to mostly stay shadowy/invisible to others unless attacking. Witch doctor is probably one of the new classes, and I expect there may be a few more new "hybrid" classes. I also expect the return of the reworked traditional necromancer, druid, amazon, sorceress, and paladin. You could look to the mythos to get some insight as well. Perhaps an "Iron Wolf" type class that blends fighter/mage, or maybe like the act two merc which combines paladin/polearm fighter.

P.S. Here is an article reporting from Worldwide Invitational 2008 where Leonard Boyarsky, Brian Morrisroe and Jay Wilson talk about character class creation in DIII.
