several outletsWhat We Know about the Diablo 4 Paladin Leak

Diablo 4 has updated vendor builds under the codename Fenris in the past, and even once the game was officially announced, vendor builds continued to use the Fenris designation.

Every season, vendor builds are updated - Season 10 is going to be Patch 2.4.0, since Season 9 is Patch 2.3.0, meaning Season 11 is almost certainly going to be 2.5.0 - or, this could be a pre-expansion patch similar to how World of Warcraft debuts prepatch events.

Whatever change this build contains would debut before a new Diablo 4 expansion - major expansions increase by whole patch numbers (i.e. 2.0.0 to 3.0.0) instead of partial numbers.

Comment by maliceYes!Comment by AlustrielGreat, another melee toon... :(Comment by thetsoniI hope it's not purely a Paladin only, but more like a range+melee class. I'd like playing something like a Priest for once, without taking away the iconic skills people love from the original Paladin or the heavy armor.Comment by tmptfateWhy would an entirely new class be released with a season instead of an expac? That makes no sense to me unless the game is in SUPER bad straights at BlizzardComment by SilverDragon234Why would an entirely new class be released with a season instead of an expac?
