Why is there not a Paladin class?

Seriously, I'd instantly return if they added any divine/holy powerish class.

lore wise paladins dont exist anymore, but i want such a class too, not because of its abilites or because its holy but because i want a full plate armor wearing melee class that can use sword and shield

At the very least the Crusaders from D3 are literally still in the game and there is a questline surrounding them.

And btw, Blizz wrote the lore. They can also unwrite it.
Lore is never a reason to change gameplay.

Why is there no crusader/paladin? Well because the game is Pro-Demon and doesn't like the idea of based Holy warriors.

Next expansion might have had the class.

The plot is about Lilith being right, The angel being bad and mephisto giving good advice.

It was typical millennial shades of grey villains are anti-heroes- religion bad trope-fest.

lillith is not right though, both of them are wrong, lillith winning would mean the brutal death of a large junk of humanity to sort out the weak which is bad

Thats what Blizz do best, rewriting lore.

Something like a Paladin/Crusader is a confirmed upcoming class that the devs have directly mentioned, it may or may not be the next one with the next expansion. Blizzard has potentially hinted there will be 2 new classes next year, as the initial version of official roadmap listed new expansion and new class in the 2026 section as two distinct and separated entries, and they already previously confirmed the expansion was coming with a new class. They have since edited the public roadmap to hide "new class."
