I think I'll panic when the game comes out cause I would wanna try out all characters at the same time, but I voted WD.
I plan to make one of each to begin with and level each of them up to around level 10 or something like that and then decide what I wanna take through Normal first.
I would've done that too if I didn't have a hard raging urge to see what was passed the beta content.
I have always been a fan of the warrior class and was always partial to the Barb in D2. While I am excited to play one the WD is my new fav since trying him out. Love how physical his spells feel. Inf act I love how physical and how much weight every classes spells/skills feel. Amazing. Cannot wait for this game.
I'm surprised by all the monk love tbh. Conceptually is my least favorite class with it's paladin copied aura/heal system but I won't be able to play the game for months to see how it really feels so I guess I'll have to hold out until then.
The Monk at this point is hands down my favorite. The Wizard, much like the Sorc of D2, isn't great at low levels. Not a huge fan of the WD. Barb is slow at first but powerful. And the DH is alright. Probably my second favorite class.

What game are you playing? Pretty sure it's not D3. My beta Wizard does exceptionally well, even with low dps gear. Storm Armor provides the Wizard with the pretty much strongest passive spell of all classes for Normal difficulty play (every other thorns effect is a joke compared to this ability, which is based off weapon damage). Her active spells aren't bad either. She probably farms breakables with the least hassle (AoE, no cost, range). I don't know how you've come to this conclusion, honestly. I can agree on basis of taste, sure, but she is definitely not weak early on.

Is it possible that the monk just has more of his useful, core skills at lower levels than the other classes, and that's what people are making their judgements off of? I mean of course barb is boring as hell to play in comparison having few if any mobility skills/items, it probably feels like walking around as a Moses freight train whereas another character may already have that twitchy feel to it that keeps it interesting and fun in the beta for having to kite, being a glass cannon, etc.
13 levels of beta content skills/abilities may not be enough to pick a favorite class. Items gems and runestones could even have a large effect on how the characters feel later on. Who really knows what's going to happen.
i find it strange that more people prefer monk over barb or wizard not because he is bad but he came third on most played poll and least favorite... maybe it is the cyclone strike effect

I have to take back what I said before about the Wizard. Got more of a chance today. I'm really beginning to like this class.

I'm surprised, as well as many others, that the Monk has gotten so popular. I remember him being the least favorite not too long ago. Still going with the Monk.
I played WD and it sucked in the beginning but few levels later when you actually have skills to choose from, it gets much better.
This. The WD feels horrible the first few levels, but it does warm up. Other than that, I've been having a hard time deciding which I want to main. They're all pretty fun to play.
The Demon Hunter WAS my least favorite, but with the hatred generation change, and playing all the other classes in the beta; the Demon Hunter is NOW my favorite.
Wow i've thought the wizard could have taken the lead easily.
In every game that I've played, MMO or not, caster archtypes just haven't appealed to me at all. I like to smash things in the face, so a Barb and Monk are the top of my list when the game releases. After that, DH it will be!
barb and wiz are too maistream! lol
