I want paladin after spiritborn
That would be better for sure.

Paladin in D2 is mostly Blessed Hammer. Think of it more as spell than melee attack. The build uses caster items. I want good balance so for this class to be good in melee instead.
I donāt see a lot of shield in the data mining for it. Thereās only 1 shield skill and a thorns skill. Most of it is movement and nature-based summoning. The official image shows a glaive, which looks two-handed by its size.
Better off waiting until the details are revealed in the July developer stream to be sure.
Correct me if Iām wrong, the general consensus is that people want a dedicated shield class, something akin to Paladin/Crusader.
you are wrong. this is not the general consensus
General consensus of a small minority within the forums, and possibly other outlets. Couldnāt say for the entire player base of course.
Wouldnāt bug me personally for example if they never added this type of class to the game. Wouldnāt bug me if they did though either.
Iād love to see more than 1 class released with an expansion though if weāre being honest. Donāt care what they are, as long as theyāre fun.
specifically reading the replies on this thread, not in broader sense of general consensus (outside of this thread)

Woah, slow your role cowboy. What do you think this is, 2001? We donāt evolve around here.

there are as many people wanting something not paladin/crusader as there are wanting paladin/crusader. to claim there is a general consensus is a misrepresentation of facts and reality
Sadly I know itāll never happen outside of an MMORPG, and even then FFXIV has been the only consistent one to do so. Most just rework their skill systems and call it done. Ah well a man can dream right?
I am not one of the people clamoring for the āSword and Board Holy Classā but I kind of think that should be next.
If it was up to me Iād like a Javalin (D2 Amazon) style class to be brought into the game next. Probably not a 1:1 with the D2 class as itād overlap with Rogue too much but another class where you can throw + melee a javalin =)
It takes Blizzard 4 years (every other expansion) to create a new class in WoW and itās almost always not what people have asked for (same with races and lazy allied races).
Even though theyāre planning annual expansions for Diablo 4, I donāt think a new class every time is guaranteed.

Yeah they did it with D2 expansion but nowadays they canāt while they have a freakin mtx shop in gameā¦ Paladin and Spiritborn would be great pair in Vessel of Hatred. One old class that people really want and a fresh new one.

an amazon wouldnt be too bad, but i agree it would end up being too much overlap with rogue.
New class. I call it āclass balanced sorceressā. Itāll be a huge hit.

the answer is simple
i want paladin : )
I want a Red Robin burger with steak fries and a cold one. 
My wife said maybe at the end of 2025.
Are there really any games where the classes, factions, races or skills are ever balanced? Something is always overpowered, another is under, a few are decent, some are trash. Itās the same story every time.
