Wilson admits that the dev team was divided on the topic of bringing back classes. "But after we've established Diablo 3 as its own game with its own type of gameplay and experiences," he said, "I wouldn't be opposed to looking at old classes ... We're looking out ahead of time at what our expansions are going to be, so we've got to keep room open for some of those other classes down the road." Wilson also said they designed the Witch Doctor so there would be room for the Necromancer. Now that we've got that settled, you can go back to complaining over the art style.

Druids and Pallies were always the most fun to play IMO. Also the Witch Doctor seems to have the best things about being a Necro while still managing to do something different... So I can't really see why they would bring them back.

Corpse Explosion.
My first character was a necro but not for the emo sh*it but because in which Dimension controlling and reanimating the death is not completely awesome?
Also Diablo 2 was the only RPG where we could play as a necro instead of the generic warrior, paladin or Mage. Not even Never winter nights allowed you to do a necro and I like it as much as Diablo 2.
“Corpse Explosion”.
I’m pretty sure this was be done with the Barbarian as well.

Diablo 2 was more than awesome.
(I don't know what you consider a RPG /insert Rocket Propelled grenade joke here, but I don't give a f*ck Diablo was a RPG).

but it's all good no matter who returns or doesn't make the cut because i trust Blizzard implicitly with any decisions they make. i think they've proven by now they know how to make games.
and im sure, like they've done in the past, they'll make an expansion for D3 that will add an additional class or two. good times for all...

First, Diablo I did have an expansion that did include new classes.
Second, that expansion was made by Sierra, not Blizzard, which is why it has been patched out of existence and does not come bundled in the Diablo Battle Chest.
What the hell are you talking about? My original post was directed at the first sentence of "cargo"'s post. If you need more of an explanation, well, you're a silly head.
The Barb is back, now I hope the Necro is back and that they leave the Sorc/Druid out of it.

if any character should be axed, even if temporarily, it should be the Amazon unless she's completely retooled.

There are classical RPG classes. And the classes are all different in some aspects, making gaming experience different.
Of course if they design different special effects for all of the classes, then it might be technically not feasible to implement all classes. But I bet that special effects as usually would be reused between classes.
But I guess, since Diablo is essentially a senseless bashing game, many traditional RPG attributes (e.g. intelligence, without which you can't read scrolls) can be skipped. Without diversity of attributes many classes can be dropped, since they would be not very different in actual game due to lacking use of the attributes.
I say screw the fanboys just deliver Blizzard.
In Diablo 2 there were two: the Necromancer and the Druid.
Basically fanboys demands kill creativity.

However, they re-tooled the Diablo system to include trees, which made them play different from Diablo, however their roles are all the same. That being said, I trust that Blizzard will re-tool all the old classes in Diablo 3 so that they will play dfferently then their Diablo 2 counterparts, much like what happened in Diablo 1 to 2.
