In the original design document, the player would be presented with a choice of class and race.

This article contains information that is no longer relevant to gameplay, but is kept here for informational purposes.Īt least two conceptions of the game's class system existed prior to the final version that was implemented in the game. The three heroes appeared in Diablo II under the monikers of the Dark Wanderer, the Summoner, and Blood Raven respectively. All three worked together to defeat Diablo, while it was Aidan specifically who plunged Diablo's soulstone into his forehead. Lore Ĭanonically, the Warrior, Sorcerer, and Rogue have been given the names of Aidan, Jazreth, and Moreina respectively. They are only made available by editing certain game files. Note: The Barbarian and the Bard are test classes. Bard - A jack-of-many-trades who can dual-wield weapons.Barbarian - A more powerful version of the Warrior, he gave up whatever magical ability he had in order to excel in all kinds of physical weapons.Monk - The master of hand-to-hand combat, and has the ability to see things that were out of reach or too well blended in with the environment.Only the Monk's official artwork can be seen here. But soon, two more unfinished classes were found in the game files.

In Diablo: Hellfire, only one class was added, the Monk.

Sorcerer - The magic user, the perfect candidate to learn all the spells in the game, with maximum magic and the ability to recharge his staves.ĭiablo II: Resurrected Review - Pile Of Old Bones.

Rogue - The fast and deadly ranged fighter, she could lay siege to her enemies from a distance, and also disarm traps in the labyrinth.

Warrior - The staple melee fighter had the maximum strength out of the three and could repair his own items.

Each only had one unique skill, but provided many differences in graphics, attribute distribution, and voice-overs. In Diablo I, each class had much more in common than in subsequent games.
