While every class in Diablo III can wreck infernal legions, only one officially earns the name "demon hunter." The new class was introduced during today's opening ceremony for BlizzCon 2010, joining the ranks of the monk, wizard, barbarian, and witch doctor.
To get an idea for the flavor of the class, check out the demon hunter's profile on Blizzard's site. One cool excerpt reads:
There is something in all demon hunters that gives them the strength to resist the demonic corruption that would drive lesser men to madness. They hone this power, for their resistance to this taint enables them to use the demons' power as a weapon. But their mission and their power are not all that bind them together.
