I think a lot of post so far have tried to connect D2 with the elder scrolls. The unique system of the diablo series is what sets it apart from others. While cross-classes would be cool, it would just open the door for an uber-kill-everything class that would be used by 1/2 the player community. The current system allows for a balance. While certain combinations of characters in online play are still kick-butt, it encourages cooperation, which is a main goal of the Blizzard games team. The ability to do something over and over again and still have fun is another goal which is encouraged by the fixed class system. For example: Paladin with Thorns + Necro with skeletons/summons makes for an awesome team that is proven to work. This stimulates the idea of 2 friends getting on to have some fun and maybe getting some other people that will add to the strength of their team.
