The Barbarian is the only Diablo/Diablo II class to make their way to Diablo III with the others ditched. The Necromancer for example was ”a victim of his own success.”
Blizzard isn’t ruling out a return of the classes at some point but they won’t be included in the retail release. Fans will likely be incensed at this revelation.
Speaking with Kotaku, Diablo III’s lead designer Jay Wilson dished the dirt saying that the Barbarian had ”room for improvement.” Blizzard loves the underdog it seems.
The Necromancer won’t be coming back though apparently as they’re just too pleased with his past performances. Luckily the Witchdoctor class shares some similarities with the undead Rockstar.
