For the next two classes, I think we miss a pet master and a ranged character.
In a gothic world like this, a necromancer always feels at home, particularly with bloody skills like Corpse Explosion (I really miss this from D2, its version in D3 was not usable in end game builds), Blood Golem… I really like to be a master of dead armies. In that regard, Command Skeletons from D3 was a very nice and fun idea.
For the ranged though, I wouldn’t go for the amazon. I always felt that the greek mythological look of the character had no place in a gothic world like Diablo. The demon hunter felt much more at home. In add of that, I liked the mechanics of that character with the hatred/vengeance balance, the two one-handed crossbows, traps and so on. Much more interesting than the amazon imo.
For an expansion, I always had dreams of a dark paladin, a fallen knight, mastering anti-holy magics or a kind of demonologist. A knight on the occult side, making life steal, calling shadows to aid him,… you see the picture 
Anyway, I’m really glad D4 went back to the dark, gore and gothic style of D1. This is how Diablo should be ! Keep up the good work !

But the amazons are part of Diablo lore, The demon hunter was not.
I’d rather have javelins again then shooting endless arrows from a hand gun.

Maybe if we can get a ranged character by expanding upon the Rogue, from Diablo 1?

Yes, you are right but I’m mainly speaking of the look of the character. The style of the demon hunter is more gothic, more dark in my opinion (hoods, armor with spikes,…). I really enjoyed the gameplay of the amazon, particularly with javelins but I felt more in Titan Quest than in Diablo with this character, if you see what I mean, even if the character is part of the lore. Also, it will be difficult to make a male version of her 
We can call him Steve Trevor…

Yes, I also think this would be a nicer idea than the amazon 
I would love to see assassin and it’s traps back.

Would love if either amazon or assassin from D2 makes it into D4, overall i’m kinda sad we will only be getting 5 classes 
There will be room for more via Expansions or DLCs.
Diablo 3 launched with 5 classes (Barbarian, Witch Doctor, Wizard, Demon Hunter & Monk), and got a 6th (Crusader) with the Reaper of Souls expansion. The Necromancer came in later with a DLC.
Essentially, the sky is the limit.

I don’t see the game launching without a pet master though.
That could work, i think assassins could be redesigned as a ranged class without much loss in the classes’ general style/lore feeling. Perhaps by using throwing knives and shuriken as their weapons, and some kind of hand-held bolter to deliver their traps with.
They already felt half-inspired by the idea of playing as a ninja to me in D2, they could emphasive this more. Perhaps have them as a kind of sub-sect of the monk order, with roguish/stealthish elements to them. Sent out more for covert infiltration or reconnaissance rather than for a direct approach.
And don’t you think that one-hand xbows like the DH fits the Diablo universe more than throwing knives or shurikens ?

I want Necromancer class or caster class that wield death magic (dont need to be pet class).
You are right. Rogue is playing huge role in the lore. As D1 has no class specific skills, it would have some mashup of DH and AMA bow skills.
in first 5 characters I’m scared this Druid is holding Necromancer back. Second summoners always come with expansion. Ranged one is fact, second guess is “tank”, shields and armor. Melee fighter for sure.
Not to copy-paste classes, they could mix-branch some of them like druid-barbarian, assassin-demon hunter, witch doc-necromancer. They could get really creative in many ways.
I would be ok with rogue. but I would like the rogue can mix ranged with meele. Start with ranged (bow or crossbow) then dual weild meele when the monsters gets too close.
They can come from different factions. the male comes from the thieves guild, and the female from…the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye from diablo 2 (not sure if they still exist, just a suggestion or both comes from the thieves guild)
One of those most probably is going to be a ranger, like Amazon or Rogue something. It is definitely missing at the moment
The last one who knows. It truly could be some sort of a Necromancer or maybe something new like Warlock?
i want Amazon first and foremost. the bow-stuff ofcourse and the javelin-stuff…at least Lightning fury. and why not passive and magics…them lovely Dodge-skills.
and if i only get one more char after that then i´m leaning toward monk/paladin/something new.
