Plague Knight revealed as Diablo V's new class
Spread disease, then eat it.
Of the three classes revealed for Diablo V, only one is new. The Plague Knight spreads diseases across the battlefield and then consumes those diseases as a source of power.
That is the confirmed description in full. No resource bar, no skill structure and no armour identity has been shown.
Why it stands out
Most action RPG classes generate resource by dealing damage. A class whose power comes from harvesting a state it previously applied is a different shape of decision: you are managing a board, not a rotation. Whether that survives contact with a live build is exactly the kind of thing we will be tracking.
