ESPECIALLY for a diablo game it just feels out of place.

I know for a fact I am not alone, theres a lot of people like me who almost exclusively play this kind of class. I would seriously play this game hardcore at launch if paladin found it’s way in before release between now and june, but as it stands I am not sure how much it can grip me when there is no class that really scratches that itch as I always play paladins, clerics, templars, crusaders or priests in rpgs. Many of the NPCs in game appear to already be using holy skills complete with animations. We all know it is almost definitely already finished and sitting packaged ready to be released as dlc.

I am not sure blizzard realizes the risk they are taking losing many players not providing the paladin class at launch. I feel this is a huge missed opportunity, even if it comes as dlc, because many like myself may not by at launch and then it’s possible by the time paladin comes as dlc, the hype will die down and they may never make the purchase. Diablo is built from the ground up for the paladin fantasy.

I so far love how the game feels, but like… not having my main, especially it being such a popular archetype, is really taking away from my experience.
