I've been itching to play the Demon Hunter since it was first revealed. The class looks so cool, and after tinkering with builds i just can't wait to play it.
After the DH I think I might go with the Wizard, but the Demon Hunter is definitely going to be my first character.
After playing the beta I'm leaning towards Monk, the monk has awesome survivability and his passive seem to be tailored for HC players.
Monk Passive:
Near Death Experience: When receiving fatal damage, you are instead restored to 35% of maximum Life and 35%Spirit.
This is the ultimate HC skill imo.
One With Everything: Your resistance to all elements is equal to your highest elemental resistance.
Max out 1 resistance type and get all of them maxed out
Seize the Intitiative: Your armor is increased by 100% of your dex.
So with dex we will not only get higher dodge we will also get a nice amount of armor to reduce the damage that comes through:)
This combined with the monks ability to heal makes him the perfect HC character in my opinion.
For ranged i like the demon hunter the most so far in the beta.
I've been warming up my hardcore skills as a necro as of late. Closest thing I can see is the witchdoctor. I will roll a witchdoctor out of the gates, staright to HC as quickly as possible. Perhaps followed by the trusty dusty babarian. It'll be interesting and I'm excited to see what is in store for me.
I'm not entirely certain which is going to be my first HC character. Either WD or Monk. It depends on whether or not they allow HC right off the bat, or if you have to clock the game before you can make an HC character.
WD will definitely be my first character, though. After all the whining when he was first announced, I feel it's only appropriate. So, if HC isn't allowed from the get-go, I'll likely make a HC Monk.

You need to finish a normal playthrough before you can make a hardcore character, confirmed by blizzard.

Goes to show how out of the loop on things I've been lately.
In all likelihood, it'll be a monk, then. Given the skill system, I can't see myself remaking much.
I'm really psyched to try out both the monk and the demon hunter. Whichever one feels closer to my playstyle (I'm assuming the monk) I'll be playing. Geeking out about HC and inferno modes. Let the pain bringing commence
I'm Either Going to go Barbarian, or Witch Hunter... I was a full-blown Necro in D2... but looking forward to see the epic changes Blizzard has made!!! looks like it's going to be one of the best games out
i whould probably go with the barbarian, kind of the tanky/aoe barb, but that is for later difficulties, thou in start il probably go some big aoe/burst build.
my second class whould be monk or witch doc, since they seem to have a good chunk of viable survivability options. thou wizard also has that, they seems so squishy and could easily get picked of by some rare monster etc. thou this is how i look at it, im shure that evry class is just as viable
I'm thinking either monk or DH. They both look very mobile, and very fun. With a lot of unique skills to each of them that will make them a blast to play. Right now, before playing it first hand, I'm leaning toward monk in HC.
My first run through normal will be with a Barbarian. Witch doctor will be my first HC attempt. Love having all the minions and non damaging spells he has in order to control enemies.
It's interesting that HC poll differs so much from general ones.
PS I'll go with WD as my main following by Barb when i get some nice equip for twinking him.
