I STILL cannot make up my mind on which class i wish to play.
So far i've ruled out Demon Hunter and Wizard, They were easy.
The hard part is picking which of the Monk, Barb or WD to play on my first playthrough :\ . I'll be playing solo because, well, hell is more fun to take on alone imo.
I've watched .. sadly, too many playthroughs of every patch over and over and from the start i had WD picked for its uniqueness and low figures in all the polls on which class to play. But now he's one of the top. I wanted to play monk too because combo's are just awesome, i mean... combo strikes ftw right? and Barb wasn't really my choice to begin with, but after playing D2 again for that nostalgia feel. I love the barb in that, and it's fully warped my decision on what to play on release.
Anyone else having problems deciding still? Or could anyone shed some light on how/why/what class would be most epic to play through with. Don't ask me what i enjoy and such because they are all 100% equal in my mind on which to play
I honestly have no clue still and I've been playing every class over and over again with each new patch they release. It just gets harder to choose the more they polish each class.
That's the same feeling i'm getting. I'm not in beta but i can see how each class is getting more and more fine tuned. I don't necessarily agree with all the updates and tweaks, but complaining isn't going to help.
That's why i've gone from, Witch Doctor since announce to.. WD, Barb Or Monk ? S: They all seem really equal in their own ways. The other 2 classes i look at and facepalm all day long, so theres no going to them ;D
If i had a beta key right now, i know i'd play barb first. Just because it was first to be announced, and after playing d2 barb i really get the feel of power and luls when im up close beating stuff in the face with a huge axe.
well i think u should consider what type of personalty and beliefs u want to hear in the dialog and interaction with the followers. mayB that can lower ur list of chars...cuz as u know every class has different personality and cuz of that react differently in a certain areas and with the conversation with each follower.
also u need to write down the advantages and disadvantages of each class and think of the gameplay of each.
everything is a speculation now but i will say what i think each class focus on when it comes to gameplay.
barb: first line of attack, in ur face kinda char that have some dmg mitigation and healing by doing dmg.
monk: more strategic positioning and think before act(or while in the fight) that go for key mobs and evasion defense - trying to avoid getting hit.
WD: stay away from mobs by using pets and alot of cc and doing dmg from afar or while the mob is not focused on u.
as u may see i like the monk the most - but i tried to be as objective as i can.
hopefully i mange to help ur decision and see u in game
Female wiz is a great choice, but after seeing every playthrough... i never seen her use anything except arcane orb. It's Op, i know. and the rune just makes it -.- godlike. So that's just no fun whatsoever.
Demon hunters make me want to gouge out my eyes, they are the most boring playthroughs i've ever seen. But that's my incredibly bias opinion lol
Barbs are up front, i love that. I play LoL and i always end up playing an AD Champ, Or if i play an AP/Tank champ, i swap to offensive abilities and gather damage items to be up close :| It's just more fun that way.
Monks are really situational i have seen, the only problem i see is spirit generation, spending is used in 2-3 abilites and then you spend 10 hours trying to work back up to 100.
Witch Doctors have grasp of the dead.. enough said.
if you still cant make up your mind on release day, then play paper rock sissors till you get to the last randon char or put names in a hat and the first one you pick is your first char to play with. maybe that will help you. :Thumbs Up:
I've come to the point where i just say to my friends who don't even play diablo or know what it is, WD, Barb or Monk. and see which gets the most votes. So far, Monk is winning with 1/0/0
Well then, the choice is clear.
Play Barbarian first and Witch Doctor as your second.
Prior to playing the Barbarian and only have seen Force's playthrough, I was firmly convinced the Barbarian
wouldn't be fun to play as.
But now, being so lucky to get into the beta and having played him first hand, I have to admit,
wrecking havoc, crushing skulls and all that good stuf with the Barbarian was/is damn enoyable.
having played all 5 classes, my initial thoughts (months ago) hold true. For me, I will be undoubtedly be maining a Witch Doctor .. As for my 2nd character, I am considering a Barbarian, but did not really enjoy the other classes, at least during the early game.
i had high hopes for the Witch Doctor before he became cool and Overpowered, but i keep hearing about dogs being 1 shot in beta and its starting to make me wonder if it's even worth playing him anymore. (i hope it gets fixed asap)
Im in the same boat ive played all class in beta and the only thing i know is i wont be playing a Wizard , seemed the most boring to me. But the other were all fun .
I've played each class both genders to max in beta now and I still can't really decide between Monk, Wizard, DH or Barb. The WD I like only slightly less, too, but it's just because Voodoo/dead things aren't really my taste. Haven't found much balance issues (as in, one being very OP/UP compared to the other). I find it really hard to say anything sensible about balance anyway, considering we're looking at the first ~33% of the first act of the first difficulty.
To be honest, I'm not fuzzed about balance at all really. The game doesn't pit classes against eachother as seriously as for example WoW, and there's no pecking order - as in group making - either, which requires said balance. Just pick a class, throw spells around and kill stuff in the way that seems most fun to you. They all work!
Now the problem for me is just picking a class to level first ;-) I reckon it'll be monk or wizard, since a mate of mine is already playing Barb and I hope we can lvl together.
Struggling with the same more or less. Tho I think I have managed to narrow it down to Monk or Barbarian... Monk looks soo awesome with the fast movements and dashing about on the battlefield. Whereas the Ancient Spear of the Barbarian made my pants shorter. Pun intended. Been watching the streams and class videos over and over again, since im not in the beta. Will probably spend 1-2 hrs on release trying to decide between the two.
If you read these forums you will learn that Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter & Monk are useless. So the only choice is Barbarian & Wizard since they are OP with 3 usable skills.

If I could just get my hands on a beta-key :<

Play female Wizard. She has a sexy voice.
There you go, have fun.
Personally, I'll go with either the Demon Hunter or Witch Doctor, leaning a tad more towards Demon Hunter.
