Well... I always start out with a magic caster then i make a melee. I never made ranged classes. Amazon in D2 sucks balls but Hunter in WoW is my favorite class so who knows.
In D2 I always loved to play sorcs, but generally I always had a baba first to gather some gear since sorcs needed some better gear to do good than other classes.
I almost always choose melee characters first. It's just more fun to find that new killer weapon for a melee character than a caster, and I love up-close and personal combat.
Although, each time I go back to Diablo 2 I restart with a sorc since they are so much easier to get through the game with when you have crappy gear in the beginning, and for the most part are also best at mf ... But I think of all my characters I like my decked out Frenzy Barb the best.
When I was younger, I preferred ranged or melee, but as I've spent more time gamer, I've developed a particular liking to caster classes. For sure, I'll make one of those first. I don't like the barbarian in DII, and while I might try him for a bit in DIII just to see what the new version is like, I won't be liable to get a higher level one. I'm really liking the look of the Witch Doctor, though.

I've always been more of a melee guy. Warrior in D1, Barb and pally in D2 and warrior in WoW. I'm definitely going to have a barb, and maybe a pally, (If there is one).

Destiny is no matter of chance, it is a matter of choice
I had my assortment of barbs/zons/pallies, but the first time I made a necro it was all over. I could never put time into another class after that. I'm kind of bummed at the idea of no necro, because I LOVED my skeleton army. The witch doctor's mongrel don't look that appealing to me, even though they are more robust than skeletons in D2 were. It's all about aesthetics! hehe.
Anyways, as it stands right now I'll most likely be playing the witch doctor the most. Yeah, he won't be my necro, but the class itself looks pretty awesome and will play just like an evolved necro would, so I'm sure he'll be bad ass.
Ya sorcs are definately the best for mfing. Id say the worst is barb, OOOO whirlwind roflz.
This depends on the MF system. Before LOD it was barbs and bowazons who were the best mfers if i recall correctly. Best items generally dropped from random mobs (rares) baba was a strong guy who could wear a lot of MF without taking any more damage than before. Sorc was a fragile that needed to use the top gear to survive in CS for example.
LOD changed this since you had to run 1 boss all the time for the items and teleport was win.
Definitely a barb at some point, but depending on what is available, probably the sorceress style caster or WD first (TBH the character type is cool, but the name kinda makes me not like it <_<... what was wrong with "Necromancer!?").
I can only imagine how bitchin sorcs will be in this, especially if the male one looks like the concept art of the sorcerers from D1. Those guys looked like tough-badasses. Then all the sexy graphical stuff to display the carnage of nova and frozen orb and whatever else.
I've always loved the sorcerer and the barbarian. Types like the Necromancer don't interest me because I like doing my own work, and having indispensable golems at your side doesn't have the same effect on me as having no aid. I'm a loner. Amazon isn't bad, its just I don't care for archery as much as magic.

I hope the system will be different in d3
