The third confirmed class, the Druid, is somewhat more balanced. Another class that last appeared in Diablo 2, it blends spell-casting with melee prowess. This close-quarters strength is achieved through shape-shifting, either into a Werewolf or a Werebear Diablo 4 Gold.

Diablo 4 Class Predictions
Each of the three confirmed classes for Diablo 4 fills a very specific role. The Barbarian is a tanky, melee brute, his opposite the Sorceress is a fragile, ranged spell-caster, and the Druid falls exactly between the two, blending both magic and melee. While these roles are very set, they do leave gaps for other classes to fill.

It's possible that Blizzard will opt to create an entirely new class for its Diablo 4, but it's likely to be new in name only. While there have been 20 different playable classes over the previous Diablo games, they can be boiled down to 10 distinct archetypes:

Barbarian Warrior Rogue/Assassin/Demon Hunter Sorcerer/Sorceress/Wizard Bard Monk Druid/Witch Doctor Necromancer Paladin/Crusader Amazon 
The wide-ranging capabilities of these archetypes leave Blizzard with little room for innovation. This makes it more likely that, just as it has in previous games, the studio will choose to reinvent a classic character rather than create a new one. To predict which classes will be chosen, we need to look at which niches are most likely to be filled.

Ranged Damage-Dealer 
Probably the most obvious gap so far is the lack of a ranged physical-damage dealer. All previous Diablo games have featured a class like this, using ranged weaponry to deal non-magical damage from a distance. In the original Diablo, this was the Rogue buy Diablo IV Gold; in Diablo 2 ,it was the Amazon; and in Diablo 3, it was the Demon Hunter.
