(Our approach for classes in '˜Diablo III' is that we don't have a strong desire to bring back classes from the previous game,) Wilson told me. (The goal is to try and give people new gameplay and not just re-hash old gameplay. We're not just making a '˜Diablo II' with updated 3D graphics.)

The Barbarian, the only other class announced at this time, will return to (Diablo III,) because the team thought they could add new elements to it. As for the Necromancer, Wilson said that he was (a victim of his own success.)

(The problem was, we looked at the class and didn't think that we could really make him a lot better,) he explained. (We could add some new stuff to him but for the most part curses, corpse explosion, skeleton pets done. That's the class. We wanted to create new gameplay, so we chose to do the Witch Doctor as a different kind of class.)
