But I don’t necessarily think what we need is a straight up port of the Crusader, or of the Paladin that came before it in Diablo 2. I think the Crusader was one of the best classes in Diablo 3 even though it wasn’t introduced until the Reaper of Souls expansion. It’s a classic trope - the weary warrior who holds on to concepts of honor and righteousness that seem outdated in the world she finds herself in, trying to see justice done despite the wickedness of the world. In the world we’re seeing in Diablo 4 the idea of an itinerant wandering holy warrior bringing forth the power of light to destroy demons seems pretty solid. We know that the Church of Zakarum - the faith both Paladins and Crusaders hold - didn’t recover from the events of Diablo 2 what with all those evil Mephisto cultists having infiltrated every aspect of it (Archbishop Lazarus, everyone?) so it seems to reason that they’re not doing much to unite everyone. It seems clear that governments have fractured and the world has entered a kind of dark age, with isolation and terror growing more common. Will we be seeing either in Diablo 4? Well, I don’t know for certain yet, but there’s definitely a case to be made for either or both of them.ĭiablo 4 is set after the events of Diablo 3, with the world of Sanctuary in chaos after Malthiel’s attempt to kill literally everyone in the world. One role I think Diablo 4 could definitely use is the Holy Warrior archetype that we saw in Diablo 2 with the Paladin and Diablo 3 with the Crusader. In Diablo 2, the Amazon handled a certain role that we got in the original game with the Rogue, and in Diablo 3 we saw the Demon Hunter pick up that concept and run with it. Holy warriors shine brightest in the darkness of Diablo That being said, there are certain roles and classes that I think Diablo really works well around, and one of them is the holy warrior archetype present in the Paladin or Crusader class. I will be playing a Barbarian, and then another Barbarian, and then probably a Druid before I play my third Barbarian. S0 I’m basically good - it honestly doesn’t matter to me what else they put in and leave out of Diablo 4. I loved what I saw of the Barb at last year’s BlizzCon.
Of the classes we already know are coming, I’m clearly a partisan for the Barbarian - I’ve loved them in every Diablo game since D2, and they make the franchise fun for me. Since we know we’re getting two more, we can’t possibly get all of them. As a long time Diablo fan, I’d love to have almost all of them - Amazon, Assassin, Demon Hunter, Witch Doctor, Monks - I’d like to see literally all of them. With three classes announced already for Diablo 4 and supposedly five classes total, we’re only going to get two more classes in Diablo 4, and clearly there are way more than two classes in the history of the franchise fans would like to see.
