During its fourth BlizzCon gaming festival, Blizzard Entertainment announced the Monk as the fourth playable character class in the upcoming RPG Diablo III.
The monk is a skilled warrior of unparalleled dexterity. Armed with speed, holy fervour, and a quest for physical and spiritual perfection, the monk becomes a deadly apparition in the heat of battle, moving faster than the eye can follow to strike down enemies with a barrage of lightning-fast blows.
“We wanted to add another melee character that was still hard-hitting, but lightning fast, to complement the raw strength and brutality of the barbarian,” said Blizzard. “When we set out to design the monk, we wanted him to feel elegant and fluid, like something out of a fighting game. What we came up with is a holy warrior and martial artist who uses a unique arsenal of weaponry, hand-to-hand combat techniques, and a distinctive combo-based attack system.”
The Monk joins the Barbarian, Witch Doctor and Wizard. You can check out shots of the Monk in the Diablo III gallery.
