Diablo 4 Lore | Where Is The Paladin? Why Spiritborn Was Chosen Instead

I suspect that whenever Tyreal comes back, we’ll get a holy class.

The question that's been keeping me awake at night, tossing and turning, boiling in my own sweat - "Where Is The Paladin"?

Hopefully we get a holy class and Diablo next year!

I'm happy that they did something different...

The Monk...I mean Spiritborn was someone's pet idea. In their desperation to re-invent the wheel, they didn't use the Witchdoctor that comes from Nahantu or any other classes that already exisited.

Reason why there is no Paladin class in the Vessel of Hatred? Simple. D4 dev team wanted to create something completely new regardless if it has aspects of the monk and witch doctor and did not want to be tied down to the paladin's tool kit even tho it would make complete sense and be the perfect reason why the paladins have returned. They wanted the freedom of creation and so now we have the Spirit born. After seeing they're presentation on it. I am sold on it. Looks good. But i want Paladins too. Make sense lorewise. Don't know why they couldn't have introduced two classes. POE is kicking their ass inside out with an abundance of content while still working on POE 2. No competition.

Love your content mate, I think you have the best Diablo lore content out there and I hope your channel explodes. As for the class, I think a light-based class will come in the expansion after VoH, but I would be surprised if it was a paladin.

The Paladin was disbanded officially because after Marshal Cartas was ultimately corrupted the church thought that all Paladins are tainted. The Crusaders are now the new Paladins for most of the untainted Paladins joined them while others joined the Guards of Westmarch.

When they kept saying that they wanted a class that came from the region, I was thinking to myself that’s where the paladin originated as well so that argument didn’t make too much sense to me

After the events of Diablo 3, the High Heavens closed themselves off to all realms as well. The cult of Inarius was able to pray to him and be blessed by him since he was a holy entity in Snctuary. Assuming his redemption is coming in Vessel of Hatred, it'll unlock the Paladin/Crusader/Priest/Cleric whatever in the next expansion. Because even with everything you said the High Heavens gates are still closed, pretty sure that means to prayers also.

I always rolled paladin in d1

Paladin will be next, the commuity demand is insane XD

Either Paladin class or 5 class rework and polish to catch up to the quality and polish of the spirit born class

Your Dog 🐕 is a holy class. 🤍

Somehow we need to get them to give us a Valkyrie class. A combination of Crusader/Paladin and Amazon. There's already so many cool shield and spear abilities in the various Diablo games.

if there's no paladin i hope theyre reconsidering making a Inquisitor class

Personally I would love if they didn't even think about Diablo 5 and continued with Diablo 4 and did expansion after expansion, adding parts of the world old and new as well as classes, old and new. I would really want to see us eventually facing Diablo again. With a stacked roster of characters and a giant world to explore, I can see myself playing this game for a very long time.

We’ll get Paladin for the 2nd expansion, when we finally face Diablo. As much as the lore gets explained here, Blizzard will need something to close the Diablo 4 with good sales, so yeah.

How do you look at the 3D models like that? 2:12

In lore paladin became defunct after the events of Diablo 2
