Witch Doctor and the fast-paced Monk. The poll was open for a week with the end result being a 33-25 vote in favor for the Witch Doctor. The next round followed with the more stereotypical RPG classes between the Mystical Wizard and the Stoic Barbarian. In the closest vote, the end result was extended to allow one final tie-breaking vote. Many held their breath as the final vote came in. The Wizard triumphed the Barbarian by a narrow margin of 27-26. This lead us to our third round with a melee battle against the Monk and the Barbarian. Speed and martial arts versus strength and durability was the deciding factors. By the end of the poll the results concluded in a 27-21 win for the Barbarian. With the melee battle decided, it was time to fight magic with magic in round four with the Wizard and the Witch Doctor. Old school magic versus the summoning/zombie magic proved which we prefer. The Wizard won with another close vote of 22-21. The final vote was to determine where the two classes in the middle landed in our favorites. The Witch Doctor and the Barbarian went at with an overwhelming win for the Barbarian. And so, without any further hesitation, I present to you DiabloFans' favorite classes (in particular order):
1st Place: 2nd Place: 3rd Place: 4th Place:
Expect these votes to re-open once the fifth and final class is announced. If you are unhappy with the results, then make sure to vote and have your voice be heard in the next vote. Thanks to all of you who helped make this decision.

Posted Jul 13, 2010He was by far the most fun to play, this is because he had a new skill mechanic that was fun and seemed like it has always belonged in the Diablo world (fast paced, bloody, memorable, and loads of fun). For anyone who doesn't know this system, think Rogue WoW (combo points and finishers), but unlike the Rogue it felt like the Diablo Assassin (fast paced 3 charges ect.)
Even though the then new Barbarian system of Fury, it still felt like a Barbarian of D2 to me (which is awesome). So he is #2 for me.
Wizard and Witch Doctor were pretty much just casters to me, Wizard > Witch Doctor for me though. Unique Aesthetics doesn't beat out the tradition or simplicity of an elemental caster. The Witch Doctor just seemed like a Wizard with obscure spell names/effects, that pretty much did something any caster (Wizard) would do.
The Witch Doctor is the only class I am worried about. It didn't seem like he filled a Niche as well as the others, and rather he was a rehash. Every class in D2 had something memorable or wildly unique about it, the Witch Doctor didn't seem to have anything unique game play or mechanic wise.
