Before I was allowed to mess about with this open beta weekend I had set ranking of classes.
My favourite was Barb - watching movies on youtube gave me goosebumps. Then Wizard, amazing ranged class. I was interested a bit in Monk and completely not interested in WD.
After spending almost all night playing every class to level 11 my ranking changed dramatically.
I'm loving Monk, might even become my main.
I'm enjoying Witch Doctor almost as much as Monk.
Barb - meh, lost interest. Wizard, yeah, kinda fun at later levels.
Anybody else changed their mind as well?
I'm really glad that Blizzard allowed this open beta weekend, will save me rerolls at the very start of the game.
Man, they swap some of the skills around level (Thunderclap from 57 to 7), which makes a lot of things change.
I have always want to play Monk, and the beta helps improving that desire even more.
I believe when release comes, and we get to more skills.....You will have a hard time choosing between classes.
My order of character importance changed when I got the beta as well.
But, I also find myself playing all 5 classes back and forth, at random.
Say I level a Barb, and the SK drops a really nice bow for my DH. So I level a DH, and get a nice Wizard globe (off-hand). Then I level a Wizard, and get a Barb Sword, etc.
So as I go back and forth, I'm outfitting 3 main chars (one str, one agi, one int), and two lesser geared ones. It helps save inventory space, and allows me not to get bored playing the same char over and over again.
I did the same thing, coming into beta the first time I thought for sure WD would be my main character like necro was in d2. After playing the characters monk became my favorite character while WD might be my least.

Thumbs up! thats exactly how I've been playing mine its working out great
Went in expecting 1. Monk, 2. WD, 3. DH, 4. Barb, 5. Wizard. Still feeling the same way. That said, fully intend on playing them all and things could absolutely change in later content -- this is the equivalent of a level 1-10 starting area -- we're just getting a feel for it now.
When I first found out all of the classes that would be available for the game I knew I would go with the barb first as it was my main in D2.
After watching a bunch of beta videos I was all about the wizard.
Once I finally got to play the classes(minus the monk, he's next to try) I want to go DH.
DH does not seem to be the most powerful but I love the utility of vault.
Also I felt the wizard was a bit lack luster until I unlocked arcane barrage. Now that was the most entertaining skill they have as it feels like I'm sending out a volley of laser guided missiles.
After getting a chance to play all the classes I'm still stuck on playing the WD for my 1st playthrough. Loved running around with my mob (zombie dogs plus templar and even Leah at one point) and tossing out jars of leaping spiders with reckless abandon. Also the grasp of dead is pretty sweet (cool sound effects and animations). Can't wait until release and I can add a giant mongloid zombie (gargantuan) to the mix plus pycho midgets (fetish army)!
i arrange them according to how i like them not how i will play them.
pre beta:
Monk>Demon Hunter>Barb>Witch Doctor>Wizard
post beta:
Demon Hunter>Monk>Witch Doctor>Barb>Wizard

Lol, no wonder they cut down players count to 4. ;P
Imagine 4 WDs with armies like yours. ;-)

DH got some of the worst skills/runes in the beta, IMO...

just hope i can get into the open beta and then decide.
THO! demon hunter which wasn't very high on my list was actually pretty damn fun to play... i kinda wanna run up a melee DH for kicks lol
Barbs are simple and whatever they do you always hear the sound of thunder in the distance because they destroy everything with massive attacks.
pre beta:
Monk>Demon Hunter>Barb>Witch Doctor>Wizard

Same for me haha, i just love to leap and smash / crush their bones. Also that i can take their hit.
