RPGVault has a report lined up on the Diablo II expansion, Lord of Destruction based on what they saw at E3 recently.Speaking of heroes, the game will actually ship with two new character classes: the Assassin, and the Druid. There is actually an Assassin NPC in Diablo II - in Act Three, the hero meets Natalya, who seems to serve no useful purpose whatsoever. Whether she has a role in the expansion was unrevealed at E3. The Assassin will be the mistress of martial arts, and will also be able to set traps for enemies. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to see one in action.We did, however, have the opportunity to watch the Druid. Master of nature, the Druid has the ability to call on the power of animals, plants, and weather to fight Baal's minions. We had a chance to see the Druid transform into a werebear, as well as summon several followers including bears, vines, and wolves. He also has an impressive array of spells, including a powerful Tornado that travels randomly but inflicts massive damage on those it hits.
