Diablo 3's female Monk designs revealed on The Jace Hall Show

[Dohc-WP]

In a recent segment on The Jace Hall Show, the typically secretive Blizzard dev team gave the towering host/television producer/Monolith founder a sneak peek at some of the concept art for the female iteration of Diablo 3's Monk class. While she doesn't embody what we normally imagine when we think of devout martial arts experts, she looks supremely badass. You can check out a few screengrabs from the clip on fan site BlizzPlanet, or simply watch the video posted after the jump (the segment starts at the 6:44 mark).

Wow a chick with full body armor in diablo. but short hair looks so ugly!

As i understood it Monks don't wear armor.... Not platemail anyways. That looks more like a Paladin or Warrior maybe even a Barbarian but not a monk.

i agree with omega on that one ... monks dont wear armor, or heavy armor like in that pic

I do agree that Monks shouldn't be wearing armor, but the female Monk model on Blizzard's website does look very similar to those designs. And that model is wearing armor, although only for the arms and shoulders.

The armor from the above pics have the armored arms and shoulders, but the chest doesn't look like plate or mail armor. Looks more like bulky robes to me.

Edit: I checked the website a bit further and the art looks accurate:

Those are monks. That chic doesn't look like a monk to me.
