Fans will "hate" Blizzard when it announces the next Diablo III class, the developer has admitted.
...
So far only two classes have been revealed for Diablo III, the Barbarian, which returns from Diablo II, and the Witch Doctor, a brand new class. Blizzard has already confirmed that no other classes from Diablo or Diablo II will make it into the third game.

He said: "All the barbarian players are delighted and all the necromancers hate us. I understand, I don#DY#t begrudge them that. I would hate me too! But what I would say is that when we announce the next class, which is quite similar to a previous class, then all those players will hate us too. You can#DY#t make everybody happy, but I think when the game finally come out players will find there#DY#s a good class for them, one they will love as much as the ones that came before. And if they don#DY#t, I absolutely promise that in the expansions we#DY#ll consider bringing back old classes. We just don#DY#t want to do it with the first release. We want to establish our identity."
