D4 is very dark and bloody. I believe an assassin would fit right in. Traps wouldn’t be elemental but physical like razor wire or some other contraption which would hold a foe in place momentarily. These would apply bleeds to your targets or lower physical resistance to go in for the kill. Bring back claw weapons to tear apart demons like pulled pork. Whatcha guys think?
While I personally wouldn’t play the Assassin class more than likely I do think that the class would be a lot of fun with how the system is looking, early on, in D4.
Would Assassin be at the top of my list of classes to see? No, but I do hope that D4 does introduce them at some point in time.
I feel like D4 currently is missing an bow user and a heavy armor + shield character, so I wouldn’t bet on the assassin, however one of the uniques on the demo spawned lightning “traps” if I’m not mistaken and this naming made me think of the assassin.
No it wouldn’t. It’s a boring version of the Demon Hunter.
And the Demon Hunter is an Amazon/Assassin hybrid, the best of both worlds. They can’t best that.
well currently d4 has what 3 classes crappy druid/and barb/sorc i will be playing none of those hated them in d2 also
i would rlly dig an other switching class like babar and druid
the assasin could switch from ranged to melee attacks
that would be super cool
What classes would you like to see?
No. The demon Hunter does a terrible job at combining the classes. You shoot out grenades and rockets. That stuff doesn’t belong in Diablo. I’d rather see the Amazon and Assassin both return. Keep the DH in D3.

D3 was bad
the DH can be done well
the whole “put down your weapons and throw/hit with random stuff” is always a bad idea
it ruins any game for me
Didn’t play much of D2, but from what i did, i only played the assassin. I viewed the assassin as a hero motived by greed more than fighting for the greater good, which is perhaps a cause what a paladin might fight for.
Previous Classes:
- Necromancer: My favorite class in D2 and maybe in D3 (it and Crusader)
- Crusader/Paladin: I assume this is one of the two unannounced classes
New Classes:
- Vizjari Mage (Warlock): Others have mentioned this is other posts
- Horadrim Mage: Using Runes as a weapon perhaps?
- Demolitionist: Something similar to this class that is in Grim Dawn. Explosives, Blunderbuss style guns. Could bean interesting route
- Marauder: Might be too close to Barbarian in style but a dual-wield class which uses damage done and received to ‘unlock’ abilities
Note: Interesingly I usually don’t play mage classes. More of a pet or melee class person
I like the assassin, but since it wont fill two highly desired roles; I don’t see it until a future expansion. Most likely options are a heavy shield/ tank class and a ranged class. Only option to fill both would be an amazon reboot with shield and spear, but leaves the bow theme to the side. Idk I only see an assassin/ ninja class in future expac.
