New Class Revealed: The Wizzard
Owing to my lack of tolerance for those who would use magic towards their own nefarious ends, many have assumed that I am averse to the practice of the magical arts on a philosophical level. Nothing could be farther from the truth. My quarrel is with those sorcerers who dismiss the ancient traditions and teachings – teachings that have been honed over millennia in order to preserve respect for authority and the rule of law.
Recently the youth of Caldeum have fallen prey to the overblown stories of just such a delinquent wizard. That is correct: I used the uncouth term wizard, not sorcerer. It seems that even the title of a civilized magic wielder is too restrictive for this young upstart. Through my contacts at the Yshari Sanctum of the mage clans, I am one of the few who actually know the truth behind the rumors now sweeping our streets regarding this hellion who flaunts her magic irresponsibly.
"That is correct: I used the uncouth term wizard, not sorcerer. It seems that even the title of a civilized magic wielder is too restrictive for this young upstart.""
This wizard was sent here to spend her formative years under the tutelage of the best mages in the world. Well, it seems they neglected to teach our wizard manners on her native island of Xiansai, for she was a rude and uncooperative student from the very beginning. Originally under the guidance of the Zann Esu mage clan, she was eventually handed over to the Vizjerei in the hopes that their strict and unbending discipline would break her anarchic spirit. Yet even the esteemed Vizjerei instructors were unable to rein her in. She was continually being caught seeking out dangerous and forbidden magics, heedless of the consequences to herself or anyone around her.
Although there is no truth to the tales that she actually ventured into the infamous Bitter Depths below the Sanctum, she was caught in the Ancient Repositories, where the most dangerous incantations are housed for the safety of the public. When confronted by the great Vizjerei mage Valthek and demanded to account for herself, she brazenly attacked him rather than face the punishment merited by her acts. Exaggerated stories of the battle are already being inflated to mythic proportions by the more rebellious of our city's youth, but suffice it to say that she did not actually best Yshari's most powerful mage in single, honorable combat. The details of the encounter remain unclear, as Valthek has yet to regain consciousness, but it has been verified by reliable sources that she relied on trickery and deceit to bring the great man low. I have also been assured that the extensive property damage was chiefly the result of Valthek's magical prowess, not the upstart wizard's. As to where she is now, no one rightly knows, for she fled the city immediately after the encounter.
It is not my goal to alarm, but I find this situation disturbing. We now have a rebellious wizard, young and inexperienced, wandering the world, dabbling in powerful magics she does not understand. Those wiser than you or I determined long ago that certain schools of magic were too dangerous and forbade their practice. It is those magics that this wizard seems determined to explore – magics centered on manipulating the primal forces from which reality is constructed. Imagine, a headstrong nineteen-year-old youth, able to warp time itself to her will! The thought is truly terrifying. It is my honest hope that this self-styled wizard chooses never to return to Caldeum.
Like a cross between a ninja and a pirate. A Pirnja. Crazy cutlass/dagger skills, double peg legs so they don't need boots, crazy acrobatics, and smoke bombs.

They'll be all like "Haiii-Yarrrr!!!"
That last line was actually pretty funny.
Damn, those guys are ugly--especially the witch doctor(s). They turned the sorceress into a goth chick The barb and the female barb look pretty barbish though, which is a good thing. Also, why is the male sorcerer translucent? Oh, and the title has too many z's in the word wizard.
As long as darkness flows through my veins, I will never cease, As long as my dreams still haunt me, I will never show mercy, and as long as evil lives I will never die.....

I was guessing it was translucent because it was selected.
Like you know in D2, the character would be doing their own animation when the character was selected, I think making the characters is D3's way of doing it.

I didn't see the Male Wizard in the gameplay, so I'm guessing he's NYI. Besides Blue, those are just the male/female versions of the classes we know. There's only 3 classes shown, so no that's not the D3 Amazon (Which I assume will be there... it ****ing better be).
Nobody can handle the leetness of this sig.

Oh, I see. The pointer was near the female wizard so I assumed she was selected, never mind.

Besides, there will be some archer type person in D3. Theres one in every RPG game. I'd be willing to be a thousand dollars or more on it.

What if it's a Rogue? Like from the Rogue encampment? They use bows. *shrug* Or what if they just call it a Mercenary. Like the rogues from act one and the soldier guys from act 2. Bows and spears.
