    The last class revealed for Diablo III is the demon hunter showcased below:

    Class profile can be found here.

    As could have been expected, it is mainly ranged to bring back the amazon in a way and it also seems to excel in trap mastery to follow in the steps of the assassin. Moreover, the in-game footage seems to show some martial arts as well, so I'm wondering if it would overlap with the monk at all, if one chose to go for that tree.

    What are your thoughts on this piece of news from Blizzcon 2010?

    After watching the videos of the demon hunter's skills i cannot say i was impressed i would expect something more dark from a class named demon hunter. Anyway does anyone know if more classes are going to be released ? Any class for necromancer - assassin fans ? :S

    No more classes, this is the final class to be revealed. The assassin is melded in the demon hunter while the necromancer aspect can be found in the witch doctor.

    I'm not sure if I saw any actual melee attacks coming for the Demon Hunter. That shadowy dash ability kind of looked like a melee-range attack (especially at 2:53), but other than that I kept seeing what the official site calls the "Fan of Knives." Either way, the class looks hella-fun; I've been waiting for the class that had a bit of that Assassin flavor mixed in.

    Also, notice that one explosion at 3:05 (right before she says "I stand alone"). It looks very similar to an explosion we saw in the Wizard video. Does this mean characters explode when they level up or something? :wacko:

    I must say D3 looks more and more excellent every time I see it. It has the diablo feel to it, yet also has interesting new aspects.

    I'm not really impressed.

    A melding of two classes is what it really seems like. Not a bad thing, but it looks like it will get boring very fast. The only things I really like is the voice actor for the female and the one ability that seems like a trap arrow. Where it orbits the monster hit for a few seconds before detonating.

    I thought the previous concept arts for the Demon Hunter was cool.

    By the way, do we know anything about item attributes and the related game mechanics?

    Omg! I can't wait for the beta to show up !!! The Demon Hunter looks like some cool ranger with demonic abilities. However, we shouldn't compare these new heroes with the heroes found in Diablo 2. I think RPG has it's limits. The only way to come up with better classes is in changing the abilities and spells.

    When I look at Diablo 3's Monk hero I was pleasantly surprise. It was something new. I just hope Blizzard will keep on surprising us as Diablo 3 is nearing completion.
