I think a psychic class would be cool.
It would. I wonder if there’s any existing lore supporting that.
I mean they invented time travel for the shop. Why can't they make psychics?
Of course they could make something new, I just meant if there was already existing lore they could build off of.
I might be pulling this out of my ass, but I somehow recall that some of the wizard abilities in D3 implied telekinesis. Which then implies that psychics could be real. I think you could combine it with some aspects of like 1800s spiritualism or aesthetic mysticism to nail down the theme.
I think it would fit right in to the gritty world D4 has made. Maybe be a sect of Ivgorod, which gives us a reason to go there for the first time and maybe back to Arreat to re-settle the clans.
Edit: Oh! I also forgot to mention how it could be so environmentally interactive. Like telekinetically throwing random environmental objects at enemies or slamming enemies against walls in tight spaces.
For some reason this also made me think that whips should be a weapon class. Rogues, the psychic, & sorc could use them.
Diablo 1 and 2 both had skills called Telekinesis. You could open doors, chests, etc and pick up items.
The Wizard did have telekinesis. Just remembered the assassin had some psychic stuff too. The D3 monk had some borderline psychic abilities.
Throwing enemies around and into walls would be cool. I also want to explode heads but not sure that fits thematically, heh.
