The wizard was jsut released as a new class on diablo3.com

The new class looks awesome!  I can't wait to get a chance to play it.  :)

Agreed. The skills they've shown so far really reminds me of the D&D Wizard class only not so fragile. Slow Time, Disintegrate, Magic Missile :)

If there's a Haste skill we'll be set :)

From what I have seen in the diablo3 website, is that there are currently 3 classes. I'm paricularly curious about the "witch doctor" character. He looks exactly like the last boss in Warcraft 3 campaign. lolz. 

I hope they would create more character classes compared to Diablo 2 so that I can play them all as well in the single player campaign. I will update you guys if there is any announcements from Diablo 3 website.

is the paladin class still in the game?

cant wait to play the game, also intrigued by the witch doctor class. the preview of the skill with the voo doo on top of the witch doctor. i guess it's like the grim ward of the barb class in dII

Unfortunately, the Paladin class will not be making a comeback as a playable character in the game. Blizzard stated back in August that Only The Barbarian Will Return In Diablo III.

(posting for future viewers, I realize the thread is old. Seeing as there are only 3 threads here, it's all that people will see.)

What are the other classes to be released in D3?

Thus far, four of five official classes have been announced, and one class has been "announced" as an April Fools joke. The only character returning to the Diablo series as a playable character will be the Barbarian, as seen here.

The four current classes:

• Barbarian
• Witch Doctor
• Wizard
• Monk
• Archivist (April Fool's Joke)
