It’s a pretty common criticism of fandoms these days that fans only really want the same things. This is true for games, too, of course, which unquestionably includes Diablo 4. When Blizzard’s action RPG launched, it debuted with five classic and classic-inspired classes.
There was never really a chance every class from the series’ history would return or be reborn in some way, but fans knew future expansions would bolster that line-up. One fighting style in particular, however, has been on everyone’s mind because of its absence from the current game. That, of course, being a sword-and-shield wielder.
