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.Here is a quote on class design choices by [[Jay Wilson]]:::''We have other goals, where we want each class to be distinctive from one another, we want archetypes to be very strong—I should be able to tell you the name of a class, and you should know what it is, right away. You should have an idea of the kinds of things that that class can do.''
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.
