I only hope the best for diablo 3 when it comes out ive been waiting years for this game to come out i actually still play diablo 2 :).. But to stick with diablo 3 The class ive been really wanting to try out is the Demon Hunter been hopeing i would get into the beta to try it out.. best of lucks to everyone and those who are in beta atm ^_^..
I'm planning just to play one class at a time in order to maximize the profitability of grouping with my wife, brother, and a friend, each on a different class.
I'm planning to play the Monk because I love the look and feel of the class. I loved the paladin from Diablo 2, and I see the Monk as the next Paladin. I think the Monk will be a lot better at fighting, too.
This is a tough choice for me. Currently, I'm leaning towards any class but the demon hunter.
I enjoyed the barb the most in D2 since he improved the most through items (which made it more exciting when something good dropped). The barb in D3 is probably the class I'm currently leaning towards because he looks like a pinball in all of the videos I've seen of him.
Sorc looks cool as well but if the sorc turns into a one spell spamming machine like in D2 I am not interested.
Witch Doctor looks fun... but I'm not sure how much fun it would be to watch my minions kill everything.
Monk is #2 currently for me. It sounds really fun, but I've heard the spirit system doesn't work so well on early levels at least. The monk sounds a lot like the barb but not quite as cool.
Currently the monk is my choice. Obviously this can change as my choice is based entirely on videos. But I love the fast paced gameplay that I saw so far and almost all the skills we can see in the beta is interesting.
My second choice would be a demon hunter. But based on the fact that I can't stop rerolling new toons in WoW I will probably end up having them all at max level.
For me, what has made and continues to make this question so hard is that I am the type of gamer that have a natural "larger love" for my first character.
I know some people can have multiple characters and love them all equally. But for me, that first character, or to be clearer, the one I stick with or give the title "My Main" in my head, will always be the one I care about the most. Its just how my brain works.
For this reason I'm stressing out over the choice more and more as we get closer.
Where I stand currently is: I'm strongly leaning towards range for my first or "main" character. Right now its really close between Wizard and Witch Doctor. Demon Hunter is kind of a Dark Horse for me.. I could see myself loving the DH ALOT, but in general, I have not played the "bow" type charcter in RPGs.
Now, the part of me that is still thinking Mele as possiblily really wants to play Monk. Barbarian is awesome, but I've never been a big burly mele type of player.
Don't get me wrong, I plan to have maxed out toons for of all 5, but this first one will always be "my main" in my head. Can't help it.
Right now.. just barely.. I'm leaning: Wizard > WD > Monk > DH > Barb
I intend to roll a Barbarian. Their brute strength and ability to take damage is very appealing to me. I was thinking of playing Demon Hunter because I played a Rogue in WOW and they seem like a Rogue/Hunter hybrid.
What do you guys think of the monk? I was looking at that class too, seems pretty cool!!

My thoughts exactly! The monk is REALLY cool. From my play time in the beta, killing things on the Monk is just a bit more satisfying than on any of the other classes. Really the only reason I'm leaning to Wizard or WD is that I feel range will beter fit my play style.. and just plain be more effective.
I "may" if I can reprogram my brain to have "two" main characters try to level up a Wizard or WD AND a Monk at the same time... Then make the choice once I get into late hell/inferno.
For me it has to be the Barbarian, followed by the Witch Doctor as my main alt. I probably won't make any more alts straight away but when I do it'll most likely be Wizard > Demon Hunter > Monk.

The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.
I will have two mains: the witch doctor for soloing content and the wizard for coop playing with my friends.
Although I love melee classes I am a range dpser at heart.
Originally I was planning on going Demon Hunter, but after getting into the beta I enjoyed, but didn't really love the DH. I ended up rolling a Wizard and greatly enjoyed that more. Each of the new skills was exciting to me, unlike a lot of the DH ones. I felt more powerful, and the Arcane Power resource is just currently tuned so much better than Hatred/Discipline.
I'm more of a ranged guy so right now it's looking like...
Wiz - DH - Barb - Monk - WD
Why is Witch Doctor last? I really just am not feeling it with that class. I hate Mana, find the class weak, not a fan of the look or the skills.
The Monk and Barb are pretty interchangeable for me. I like the "oomph" they both have when attacking, although the Barb's resource and look probably let him edge ahead for me. I enjoyed Barb in D2 quite a bit...so it'll likely be my melee class of choice. I'll play with the Monk a bit more once 13 hits.
I've been a mage in WoW since vanilla so I will most likely play a monk my first time through. Monk is the class that has intrigued me the most and watching them in action gives me some Dragonball nostalgia.
After that I will probably go Wiz - Barb - DH - WD.
Well when i first say the Demon Hunter trailer i instantly fell in love. She looked so bad ass doin backflips and blowing away demons. But the more beta playthroughs i watch im starting to love the Monk now, even though he only attacks with fist and feet not actually any weapons but hey thats what makes him a total bad ass.
I think I will be going for the WD first I think it will be a great class for soloing. I loved the Necro in D2 and hope its close to that class. I played a hunter in WOW for like 5 years and love having my pets around doing deeps. Probably then will have a wiz as an alt.
I'll defo go for the Barbie as my number one choice. Can't wait to send those monsters from hell to the moon and beyond with my big-ass 2-hander! *Wooouccchh*
I'll probably go for the Wizard first, but I seem to change my mind every other week. But the Wizard seems like a good first choice for me, I love being the glass cannon that can get through most of the combat quite easily, and yet when I get into trouble, the trouble can easily kill me.
All the classes look pretty good to me, except the Monk. I don't know why, but I cringe when I see that guy.
Barb for sure. I love the notion of charging straight to enemies and taking them on face to face. Monk might do the same, but I just love the brute force of the Barb

Im gonna have to agree with that the monk does look pretty good and to since its something diffrent im gonna have to say thats my 2nd choice to play with but only reason i chose the demon hunter would be since its a range char and i never really played with range chars in diablo to tell you the truh..
Monk. Been enamored with the monk ever since they announced the class, and with each video, I get more and more excited for it. quick hitting skills, comboing, and mobility? Yes please
Think after I would go either Barb or Wizard. Prolly play Witch Doctor last, simply because I don't like the playstyle :/
