==Known Information==
We have heard several statements saying that the [[Barbarian]] will be the only recurring character [[class]] from [[Diablo II]], but that there might be a possibility for one or so class to come in an eventual expansion to [[Diablo III]]. We also know that the Diablo III dev team at once though about making a [[Dervish]] class, but no information if that idea is completely shelved. It seems highly unlikely that the Dervish would appear though, as [[Blizzard]] have avoided talking about upcoming classes, and they would be unlikely to mention the class in passing if that is one class that will make the game.* The [[Barbarian]] is the only Diablo II character to make it into Diablo III release. He's quite updated in style and use.* The [[Witch Doctor]] is a new character, similar in use to the [[Necromancer]].* The following characters have been confirmed to NOT appear:** The [[Amazon]] will not appear in Diablo III.** The [[Assassin]] will not appear in Diablo III.** The [[Druid]] will not appear in Diablo III.** The [[Necromancer]] will not appear in Diablo III.** The [[Paladin]] will not appear in Diablo III.** The [[Sorceress]] will not appear in Diablo III.** Some of these seem likely to join in on an upcoming [[expansion]], that has been hinted about [http://www.incgamers.com/Games/1935/features/90/Diablo-III-Inforview].* The conceptualised [[Dervish]] class will likely not appear in Diablo III. 
==Speculation==
Blizzard replied to questions as to why the [[Necromancer]] was not included in the line-up, saying it's so similar to the [[Witch Doctor]]. [[Jay Wilson]] responded that the Witch Doctor shall be made enough different from the Necro that if they decide to bring the Necro in later, their roles will not overlap.
 
 
It is likely that the next three classes will include a '''ranged''', '''pure magic user''' and a '''melee/caster hybrid''' class, in terms of what roles are needed.
