Blizzard has sent out a brand new Diablo 3 trailer that puts the Monk character class into the spotlight and gives you a rundown of what to expect. You can check it out above.

The developer also released an official blurb on Monks: “Monks are sacred warriors who channel divine power through sheer force of will. Healing waves, mantras of protection and attacks empowered with holy might are all within their purview.

“Skilled monks deliver rapid-fire attacks unarmed or with a variety of well-balanced weapons. In combat, they emphasize high maneuverability over staying power, darting in and out of melees and avoiding protracted slugfests.

“Monks’ attacks are primarily melee-focused. They can eliminate single foes with extreme damage, or deliver short-range area-of-effect assaults with waves of elemental power that emanate from palm strikes or crescent kicks.”

Diablo 3 will be released on PC and Mac on May 15. The beta will end at the beginning of May.
