Diablo III Spotlight

The Monk is the fourth Diablo III class to be revealed. Monks are religious, spiritual warriors on the side of Good raised to be pure reflections of their deities through their fighting techniques. The class was announced at Blizzcon 2009 and was playable in the Diablo III demo at the event. Only the male Monk was playable at Blizzcon. The class seems to be focused on martial arts and speed. He was shown in a cinematic trailer in which he used great martial prowess to defeat a group of Dark Cultists and a demon using his staff, skills and bare hands. The Monk was inspired by Pen & Paper RPGs, but also by fighting games. Fragile and fast, it is the opposite of the Barbarian. Being part of a highly structured theocratic society, they spend much of their time meditating.

The Monk is another strongly East Asian-oriented character class, although with Eastern European influence mixed heavily as well. Unlike the Wizard, the Monk does not originate from Xiansai.

Spawned from the very bowels of the skulking Stygian Beast who awakens only once every 1000 years to feed off the spawn of its own bile and pus, the Reziarfg is truly the most hideous and vile monster in all of the Three’s bestiary.
