but in reality we both know that she went to the kindergarden to guard children and gave up her job because she realised how much she loves children :O

She disguised herself as a Rogue, but was promptly slain and she's one of the unidentified corpses on the Act 1 regions.

Some people don't really understand the meaning of "confirmed" I guess.

Commedy aside, i do think that an assassin like char would be quiet awesome if implemented correctly.

E.g. dont restrict the char to claws or something like that. Make him be able to specialize in other weapons like swords and staves, too. Combined with some ninja esque abilitys you could have quiet an interesting char i guess.

Well only time will tell...

I don't know about staves. Swords could fit for weapons, as long as they are short and quick rather than large 2-handed ones.

If there is an assassin, I hope her look/style is changed somewhat. I've always felt that the assassin was a bit out of place in D2.

I think staves would work well, they are a part of a lot of martial art training ... so it would make sense that a character that specilises in martial arts would have atleast some skill in staves.

How can something "might be confirmed". Either it's confirmed or it's not
