Diablo 4 head says "we hear very loudly" that the action RPG isn't fulfilling the sword and board paladin experience fans want, but Blizzard wanted to "bring a new experience" for the DLC

Diablo 4's DLC expansion, Vessel of Hatred, finally has a release date, meaning we'll be able to dive into a brand new class in the action RPG in October. With that said, the devs are well aware that this isn't what everyone has been hoping for.

Vessel of Hatred will introduce us to the Spiritborn class, described on the Diablo 4 website as an "apex predator of the jungle" which will allow us to "battle with styles and mystical synergies that could only be awakened deep beneath the jungle’s canopy." We've not been given a massive amount of details about it just yet, although that's likely to change on July 18 when Blizzard will showcase an in-depth look at it. Regardless though, it's no sword and board paladin, despite huge fan demand.
