New holy class is a hybrid of amazon and paladin

Looks like a valkyrie with angel wings at the back. I assume valkyrie is the ancestor of amazon clan

Equipping spear (or is that javelin?) and a shield, so just like a javazon

Very hard to predict how this class will be like.

that doesn’t sound gender neutral. Maybe it’s just Templar.

I thought you were making a suggestion for a new class but decided to search for it and only thing I found was this.

Is that what you’re talking about? If so, I’m thinking it’s a Paladin. I just saw an article, from last year, that said:

“And when we’re looking at the classes themselves, we wanted to make sure that the kind of experiences that players remembered fondly from previous Diablo games were available, but also bring them into the most modern versions of themselves.”

So I’m guessing it isn’t a new class but a modern version of Paladin. Just my take.

i think some folks do not want to be spoiled. sure i’ll check out the rumors but i’ll believe it when i see it.

Paladin or bust. This game is dying for a holy warrior archetype

Could it be a Horodrium? The old man we speak with we get a spear for him looks alot like the one the angel is holding in the promo art.

we all know the hidden unknown class with spear is the Mandalorian holding “Beskar” spear - this is the way

Definitely wont be called amazon to allow male versions, but will certainly have elements from them.

The Inarius Knight is called Penitent Knight, but that is not a catchy name.

Avenger, Vindicator, Exarch, Templar. New name possibilities is aplenty.

The iconic paladin is the most logical choice.

Which you are not getting.
They clearly want a modern take.

The necromancer have also evolved, becomming significantly more vampiric.

Amazon is pointless with Ranged Rogues in the game.

They gotta go Paladin, or War Cleric or some kind of Holy/Tanky/Support class.

Wait, we’re getting to play Deckard Cain? Oh, hells yea! We better have character customizations to make us look like him too.

I hope we get the crusader, huge shields, flails and the actual power of the light, not the small man throwing hammers at people from D2.

Interesting to see paladin combined with javazon

Lightning javelin combined with fist of heavens makes thematic sense.
Probably a holy shock aura on top.

If thats the case, its probably a Knight Penitent from the cathedral of light.

Hard pass for me if that is true. I am not a fan of Inarius or his Cathedral of Light.

Dont forget to look at the art in the link, thats where people is getting the javazon connection from.

I just take it to be a customized character since the females have that look. It has a cosmetic or spell imbued celestial wings, spear and shield which I take for a holy class. I don’t see Amazon as holy. Of course it could be a Valkyrie.

2 melee ( 1 Barb, .5 rogue, .5 Druid)
2 Range (1 Sorc, .5 Rogue, .5 Druid)

Necro is a bit unique because it has some melee, ranged, and minions

I would like to see another unique class with a bit of everything… maybe something that brings stuff to grouping with others.

Since it is an online game, a Skald/Dirge that buffs, debuffs, melee, and some ranged would be awesome.
Paladin/Templar is okay make it more than just a holy barb…
