I personally am going to play the barbarian because there is nothing quite like cutting your enemies down with your bare hands. Anyway, with all the multitude of ways out there to kill your opponents, which weapon do you plan on using?! I will go dual double-handed swords if possible because it just looks so badass! What are you guys going to use?
Hmmm - I'm torn I like using two executioner swords but also a two handed destroyer axe.
I also like hearing the sound of a giant hammer bashing your enemies down though.:evil:

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
I too will be dual-handed swords. I always favored the Barbs Dual wep skills, this will be an awesome time to test them out again.

With the Barbarian I like to use axes since it just looks much more visceral. But in D2 the axe visuals and animations were ho-hum, so I ended up going with swords. Perhaps in D3 that will be changed.
I"m going with a two-handed barbarian (juggernaut tree) assuming he don't have specific weapon masteries.
Among the two handed options I like polearms and 2h-swords.
But i will start with the doctor anyway ~~
I've always been a fan of the mauls, because nothing's better than your imagining enemy's bones crunching against the sheer kinetic force of your weapon.

I'll want to dual wield battle hammers or some other blunt weapon of that ilk. Was awesome in D2, anyway.
Even further proof that we all get some primal pleasure out of crushing skulls. Although I do prefer one giant menacing weapon over two smaller yet more effective ones. Perhaps I'm all smoke and mirrors? No, no... Much like casting spells in town, that would be impossible.
I'm a big two-hander kind of guy (it's a compensatory thing). Huge axes, mauls, poleaxes, anything that actively prevents me from having a defense. Who needs defense when everything is dead?

I'm usually runnign round dual wielding axes or swords... although I must admit chomping the crap outta people with a big f*** off axe sounds pretty appealing this time round.
I think in D2 there was too much emphasis on Swords/Axes
I'd love to see some proper sized flails... I want huge flails that are bigger than mauls, not small one-handed flails which are the size of nunchucks
I loved using swords since it allowed me to spout off numerous Minsc quotes. "jump on my sword while you can evil, I won't be as gentle"being a classic example, but the Barb actually gets a speed boost with axes and polearms, also the axes tended to do more damage, although you could only have one of them if it was two handed, unlike swords.
Making good use of the "w" key was always a fav of mine actually. 2 Colossus blades and a 2 handed axe. Use the 2 handed axe to really pound it in there on a boss, then switch to the swords for a bit of crowd control with Frenzy/Whirlwind.
But not sure how I'llgo in D3. the same probably.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
The main reason I prefer the maul is because there's no dex requirement which makes it take less time to design the barb. In Diablo 3 I won't have to worry about stat points so I'll probably be more open to using the other weapons. Maybe auto-stats aren't such a bad thing after all?

I always liked the weapons that if they hit, they hit for a crazy amount. So that would be the bugged ITH 2H Sword. Large, Etheral, PEW PEW!

That or I'll dual-wield cracked daggers.
Im not ALONE! yay. i love mauls. Squish!

In D2 though, 99% of the time I used swords
