New Diablo III class revealed - The Archivist

Today Diablo III just got an exciting new character class, The Archivist.  They are fighting not only for future but for our past as well.

In my writings, I have recounted stories of the barbarians and their endless battles with the demons of the frozen north, and devoted pages to the wizards of Caldeum who harness the primal forces of reality. But the might of these heroes is nothing compared to the power of the archivists of Westmarch. These brave souls wade into battle wielding tome and quill, armored not in ensorcelled plate or links of chain, but in the knowledge of generations past. These archivists fight not only for our future, but for our past as well.
Archivist may seem very weak but have a look at their spells (only 3 demonstrated Lorenado, Quest Bolt and Shush). My favourite is the Shush.

Shush (looks innocent at this stage)Archivist_Shush1
but then…Archivist_Shush2

Apart from these mighty spells it also features a new way of communication – radial dialog. It is quick and easy way to select your response so you don’t have to scroll through lots of possible phrases.

This would be fun character to play but it is very weak. It seems it has do defences at all, so if your spell miss the opponent you are gone…
P.S. Note the announcement date
