Blizzard has been slowly revealing new videos teasing more information on the character classes for Diablo 3. First, it was the Demon Hunter, then the Barbarian. Today, their reveal site shows off a new video for the monk.

The monks are described as holy warriors that believe that chaos will give way to order:

The monks of Ivgorod present a unique profile among the leather and iron-clad peoples of the Western Kingdoms. They eschew heavy armor, relying on supernatural speed and catlike reflexes to avoid attack. Their foreheads are marked with two crimson circles, symbols that display their understanding of the balance between darkness and light, and icons of the Veradani order. The monk is a warrior of light, but one who can comprehend the darkness… and use that knowledge to utterly destroy it.

The remaining two classes, the Witch Doctor and the Wizard, will be getting their own videos in the next two weeks.

Blizzard also announced that the Diablo 3 beta was ending. As of May 1, all beta accounts and character info would reset. You will only be able to comment in the forums if you have pre-purchased the game or have and active StarCraft 2 or World of Warcraft account.

        I am interested to play this character. Although, the first class I will be playing as is the Witch Doctor. I am going to attempt to turn him as close to the Necromancer as possible.

              i actually had a lot of fun with my barb in the beta. Only got her to level 9 when I finished the content but some of the abilities were getting pretty fun. The Scorpion style - grapple was fun sometimes too

                Back in D2 I recall that you had to pick a weapon spec and stick to it; sword and board, dual, or two-handed. I haven't been following the D3 systems changes, so I was wondering: will I be able to switch between the different weapon specs freely without penalty? Because that would 0wn.

      any word on if the beta achievements will be removed as well, or if they will stick around in some obscure category after release? I'm close to beta-max but won't push to hit the May1st deadline if they are wiping them forever.
