Diablo III™

Key Features

  • Defensive Fighting

    By taunting enemies, Kormac can make himself the focus of their aggression, and punish them for it, crippling or slowing those that draw too close.
  • Healing & Recovery

    Kormac calls on his faith to rejuvenate your health or empower you, increasing your natural rate of healing or resource regeneration.
  • Holy Justice

    Despite his defensive posture, Kormac is equally capable of purging demonic filth with violence. When charging, he causes wicked wounds and leaves foes stunned with the ferocity of his attacks.

Skills

Many of Kormac’s skills focus on improving his capacity as your protector through taunts, new attacks and stuns. When acting in a support role, Kormac can increase party-wide health and resource regeneration, or quickly heal you with a burst of radiance.

“I will never succumb to
your evil.”

The templar are holy warriors, fighting for justice and eschewing the dangers that lead to cultism and demonic possession by espousing self-denial. They do not merely pay lip service to protecting the realm - they are battle-trained and experienced to a man, and the brooding, dedicated Kormac is a paragon among them.

Kormac came to the order as a young man, and was quickly molded into the ideal templar, adapting naturally to an ascetic way of life. His devotion is particularly unshakable, even for one of his order, and, despite his respect for battle prowess, his disdain for those who don't share his high moral standards is readily apparent.

Though Kormac's ways will not always be your own, your aims and goals align, and so he will fight alongside you to purge the world of the insidious darkness that would hide from the light of Heaven.

Equipment

Kormac rushes headfirst into combat, garbed in heavy armor and brandishing his weapon and shield. His imposing figure and righteous battle cries inevitably draw the attention of most servants of the Burning Hells away from you, though he fights with more of a focus on slaying his foes than on self-preservation. Throughout your journey, Kormac collects templar relics – chalices, scriptures and fragments of sacred weapons that lend him purpose and power.

Armor Progression

Kormac’s novice breastplate is heavy and combat-worn, but, despite its weight, it will be sorely tested by the predations of stronger demons.
In time, Kormac is able to build upon his armor, adding a faceguard helmet and reinforced jackboots for treading treacherous environs.
Encased in the definitive trappings of his order, Kormac becomes a juggernaut of iron plating, prepared to withstand the torments that await him at the claws of Hell’s minions.

everyone that says it looks like wow, get over it, it's a new game. It looks like diablo to me. that's almost saying something like mario games are the same as wario games because they wear similar cloths.

@Anteares:
You're an idiot who has obviously never played Diablo.
Login to rate
@Anteares: This is newer game with different design staff. You can't compare WOW and Diablo. Other than socketed gems, paladin/templar auras, and now crafting their isn't that much that's similar

@Tiburon: @TrollScott: No, He has a good point. This armor LOOKS like a Holy Warrior where as if you look at Paladin, per say, gear in wow you just look like random crap! Nothing about the class sets really feel like they fit a class, its just random !@# armor.

The fact is that aesthetically wow armor has looked $%^-ty for the past 2 expansions, and arguably BC wasn't that great either. Orignal WoW had tier gear that represented the class it was for and PvP gear that represented your faction. What Anteares is saying is that visually the gear looks better, not polygonal wise, by aesthetic wise. That LOOKS like Templar armor not bright colored burning armor with skulls and random *!@# all over it for no reason. The Templar actually LOOKS like a Templar and his gear actually represents what he is!

ty ofmg paladin arent back, that would have bring an horrible image for D3

just stop talking now...D3 needs paladins im sorry...u just cant leave out the paladin in diablo its like leaving out a story line
Login to rate
@Markcel: Well like the D2 expansion added druids I'd really hope Paladin/Templars get added as playable
Login to rate
@Markcel: Actually, Diablo never had palys to begin with. The only original classes with the game line are Rogue, Warrior and Sorc. Leaving paladins out of the "playable classes" could reflect on the loss of faith in recent times after Tyrael's destruction of the Worldstone. (just a possible reason they were left out) Classes change in games like these. Roll with it and hope you get what you want in the future. =D

Query: Am I the only one who wishes this was a player class?

Reasoning: Because right now, from the Beta Weekend, there's only one full class that uses weapons, rather than effects off the weapons, and even then, the Barbarian gets Mighty Weapons which are unique to him as well, similar to all other classes. Makes the point of all that loot seem somewhat redundant. To me, and just me, there needs to be more than one class that should be able to use all melee weapons EXCEPT the class specific ones. If you needed to make a class specific option for the 'Templar' make it chest plates. He's all about defensive fighting, yes? So give him 'super heavy' armour that only he can use. Or something.

@Kyoshi: Nope. You're not alone. I was really hoping the Paladin would make a comeback, and this seems to be the closest thing to it. But alas, not playable. Maybe in an expansion...
Login to rate
@Kyoshi: I thought the same thing the other day and I agree. All those glorious swords, maces, and axes, and who is going to use them? Sure the Wizard, Monk, and WD might use them, but just for increased spell damage.

If by similar, you mean they both are wearing armor..? How dare they make two characters who both happen to be wearing a suit of armor!
