Diablo 4 players hyped for Spiritborn class ahead of official reveal Blizzard EntertainmentThe Spiritborn is a new character class coming to Diablo 4 with the Vessel of Hatred expansion and fans are going wild speculating about it. While the Spiritborn class won\u2019t be released until October, alongside the DLC, its July 18 reveal has some players speculating about their moveset, fighting style, and similarities to the Witch Doctor class. Like the Witch Doctor, the Spiritborn hails from the jungles of Kurast. But as the summoner role is already filled by the Necromancer and Druid, the Spiritborn will likely be an entirely new animal. Longtime Diablo players suspect that the Spiritborn will borrow from the Witch Doctor on a cultural level, but may play more like the Monk class from Diablo 3 and Diablo Immortal. In a Reddit thread, one fan speculated on the class being a hybrid between the two, saying: \u201cI\u2019m really hoping it\u2019s a monk\/witch doctor. Melee and fast but silly animal spells.\u201d Another agreed, saying: \u201cFeels like a jungle monk.\u201d In contrast, one poster suggested that the Spiritborn could be a cross between the Monk and Diablo 2\u2019s Amazon class. They said: \u201cI\u2019m guessing there will be a core skill like D3 Monk\u2019s seven-sided strike. Jaguar strikes or something like that. Then another core skill that will involve a spectral spear throw like D2 Javazon. Last, I\u2019m thinking there will be an ult kinda like a beastmaster from wc3 with spectral beasts of the jungle.\u201d Another suggested that the Spiritborn may be similar to the traditional Witch Doctor and might possess summoning skills like that of Diablo Immortal\u2019s Tempest class, one where summons are plentiful but temporary. Their comment read: \u201cI\u2019m guessing the overall look would be summoning temporary minions that do specific abilities. Call forth the spirit of a bear to smash the ground and stun, call forth bat spirit to whisk your character away, call forth human spirit akin to berserker rage.\u201d Finally, one player expressed more interest in the class being its own thing but lamented that many new classes in Diablo tend to be evolutions of existing classes. They said: \u201cYeah they\u2019re claiming it\u2019s all new to Diablo but I feel like it\u2019s nigh impossible to avoid borrowing from an existing class.\u201d With both the Witch Doctor and the Spiritborn being from Kurast, there\u2019s bound to be some crossover, and the Monk class has also been conspicuous by its absence in Diablo 4. However, it\u2019s worth pointing out that the Tempest and Blood Knight in Diablo Immortal were entirely new classes, with only some minor resemblance to anything that has come before. So, who knows, perhaps the Spiritborn will surprise players and establish its own identity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
