Diablo IV Classes (Fan Designs)

Hellmouth

"The Worldstone's destruction, and Malthael's attempt to erase humanity have left Sanctuary a dystopian battleground, as Nephalem wield their newfound power self-servingly, even as people flock to them, seeking safety from their horrific clash!

It is a far cry from the peace Diablo's defeat promised a decade ago!"

My idea is that DIV would be set in a now dystopian Sanctuary, 10 years after DIII, with (some) Nephalem throwing their weight around, taking whatever they want, clashing against one another etc., a "Mad Max" sort of world, essentially. Such Nephalem would represent the biggest threat to your survival... at least, at first.

Below are your 5 classes for this hypothetical Diablo IV!

The Sellsword - a melee-oriented class, not unlike the Barbarian, but with an emphasis on two-handed weapons.

The Mountebank - ranged class specializing in debuffs, perhaps best described as a mix of the Demon Hunter and Witch Doctor?

The Assassin - returning class, in a way, now a versatile fighter adept at both melee and ranged combat. (Amazon and Assassin put together?)

The Occultist - fairly straightforward magic class, able to unleash devastating spells, and imbue themselves with elemental (or even demonic) power.

The Missionary - the "holy" class, but with a twist. Adept at melee combat, but also able to use magic to exploit the one weakness inherent to all living things: Death (lol). In other words, a mix of the Paladin (and the Crusader) and the Necromancer, to form a... Nihilistic Paladin?

Let me know what you think!
