Blizzard lifted the veil on the upcoming Spiritborn class. This new class will make its Diablo franchise debut as part of the Vessel of Hatred expansion release on October 8. The Spiritborn will call upon "the unique strengths of Jaguar, Gorilla, Eagle, and Centipede Spirit Guardians."
Blizzard notes that Spiritborn's primary attacks are a series of three-hit-combos using "acrobatic fluidity" and hand-to-hand combat. If you don't want to get right up in a foe's face, Spiritborn can also make use of a glaive weapon. Spiritborn can also block or dodge incoming attacks, absorb an incoming strike power or redirect it back at their attackers.
Spirit Guardians represent the connection between humans and the natural world they live in. The warrior sees her strength in the Gorilla, the hunter sees his speed in the Jaguar, the strategist sees their vigil in the Eagle, and the apothecary sees her practice in the Centipede and the decay it devours.
In times of need, the Spiritborn will call upon the most suitable Guardian, championing their prowess. It is this adaptability, coupled with their devotion to the Guardians, that makes the Spiritborn the agile and flexible jungle warriors they are.
With the Spiritborn comes a new Skill Tag: Incarnate. While equipped, the Spiritborn embodies the traits of the Guardian associated with the Incarnate Skill, providing you with a passive bonus. When activated, you take on the Guardian’s full strength.
