I just love how all of the classes are fairly close to each other. Thats a sign they did a great job on all of them and it will come down to playstyle. My personal favorites after playing them was WD, Monk, and Barb. I didnt care for wizard personally. I also think that there will be a lot of wizards early on because of D2 and how much dmg they can do. However, once people start getting into Hell and INferno, I think they will too squishy for the baddies and the class balance will even out. WD's have soooo much utility and cc that they will be well represented in end game I think. I think hell and inferno is going to be all about CC and controlling every situation and WD seem to have a vast amount of choices on how to do that.
I have had interesting experiences in the beta. At first I thought I was going to love the Monk and Wizard the most but as I played what I thought would be my favorite class has been falling down. All the way to third. In the same thread I thought I would hate the DH but I have come to love how it plays. Currently its DH>Wizard(melee)>Monk>Wizard(ranged)>WD>Barb
Sorry all you Barb fans but I really do not like that class :/

D3 first announced: Barb
Monk was announced: Monk
DH was announced: Monk
After hours of Beta: DH for sure.
I love a fast paced play-style. Evasive Fire with Tactical Advantage passive makes for some great evading and all around utility. Since I plan on PvPing a lot; it just feels fun and natural for me. Plus, I'll get to experiment with Rockets! WHO DOESN'T LOVE ROCKETS?!
Wasn't sure up until the monk was announced, then monk.
Then after DH was announced, DH =)
After countless hours upon hours in beta? DH!
I just love the look and feel of the DH. The skills unlocked now kick ass, and I can just imagine how the rest of them are going to feel =) Plus, for some reason, I'm a sucker for big fancy two handed bows. cantwait.
I like the balance of the votes makes me confident no class is too UP or OP i plan on playing DH as they made it for me whether they know it or not i loved zonz n assasins.
After getting a beta invite, and playing ever class to level 13 (max beta level). I have to say WD is my favorite class to play. The barbarian and wizard were both tie at 2nd place for me. I found the DH to be meh to play and the monk just down right painful to play.
My piont of view comes mostly from group play with 3 others. Once in a group the monk resource and skills seem weak and unimpressive. By the time you move into melee, and get a few attacks in most of the mods will still be alive, only to die to a WD or wizard. Their resource does not refill automatically so spending it makes this feeling worst. I also felt that the monk and DH "resource free" attacks just seem weaker and slower then the other 3 classes.
Reading the passive skills of both the DH and Monk you see most of the skills are like "you can run faster" or "you take less damage", very little synergy. The passive skills of the other 3 classes have a lot more synergy(or they seem too).
I've liked the monk the most since it was announced, and nothing has changed my mind since then. The beta hasn't really changed how I feel about any of the classes except possibly that DH just seems weaker than everyone else, something that they claim to be addressing... Obviously Demon Hunter has long been the problem class of development since they've already reworked it once.
What, witch docotr is among least favorite class. Ohh, disapointed. I like him the most (reminds me of combination of necro and druid), and barb, because of sheer power.
Wizard straight up! Been MFing with one since D2 days.
I have heard from Bashiok or a Blue that Barbarians are the OP class though some time last summer.
none of the moderators have ever said any class is more OP then any other, they always reply with "we are trying for balance bla bla". but ironically they DID say that the barb was the WORST class a little while ago and died the easiest until they gave him a buff.
