So what class you going with first? Was it the class you thought you were going to play?


I've been in beta for a while, I initially wanted to play Witch Doctor but after going through the beta with all classes I think I'm going to go Monk, possibly Barb.

Didn't play the Beta so no idea, just gonna go with the coolest looking one when I get the game.

I used PALADIN in Diablo1+2, what would be the similar one?

I'm torn between Barb and Monk. I like how you can feel the impact of the barbs brute force with every swing. Blowing enemies away is awesome and the end game gear set looks badass.

Then again, I like the swift and silky monk style too. His chakra like hand to hand melee was too cool. The end armor on the monk looks kind of dumb though. I will probably level up 2 in the beginning, then stick with the one i like the most for the end playthrough.

Oh really? I thought Paladin was HIT HIT HIT (that's how I played Diablo 2 anyway), so I thought Barbarian was closer.

Monk is mostly meele with a bit of holy esque magic. They also get mantras which are like auras.

Thanks for the info. I also really like the Witch Doctor, where you can summon creatures. But I feel to play as the WD is a bit of a risk, since one might have problems facing hordes of enemies or big bosses.??

You just need to play with people, problem solved. And I know it's not always possible to play with friends but the game is going to be so popular there will always be people online.

A witch doctor doesn't even have to get summons if you don't want them. They still have quite a few damage dealing abilitys to work with as well. Can't really say how effective summons will be on bosses and what not, the beta hardly gave a real representation of the games difficulty.

Yes, but I'm going to play solo. I've never played Diablo 1 or 2 online, and I might venture online after my first playthrough, but I want to enjoy my first play by myself :) (when I'm with friends they mostly hurry along)

When you play solo you get a companion character that comes with you. He/she can be equiped with anything that you could use, so i'm assuming a well geared one would be able to hold its own pretty well. There are three you will eventually get - Templar(tank/heal), Enchantress(magic dps/buff) and Scoundrel(ranged dps/buff).

It's the first game where I won't be starting off with a warrior-type class. I guess it's just that the other cIasses have a lot to offer. Even the Wizard has some oddly satisfying element to it, and I normally don't play caster-type cIasses. Barb is fun though, but I need to listen to my heart on this one. :P

Okay. Here's the deal. And damn, I'm going to kick myself and eat my words later... If Monks and Demon Hunters overpopulate Diablo 3, I'm going to startup a Wizarrd.

I will play Monk, I doubt I'll ever get to play another class, since going normal, nightmare, hell and inferno will take a lot of time, so it'll be my one and only class, if I'll ever want to replay Diablo 3 I'll also start a Barbarian and Witch Doctor, not interested in the other two classes.

Had the most fun with the Wizard, which I played for like 6 hours on the same character just to get to level 13. Kept killing the skeleton king over and over again, it felt like the looking for dungeon system WoW has, except much more laid back. I'm going to have so much fun with this game!

I am MOST DEFINITELY a witch doctor. I played necromancer in Diablo 2, so I really miss that class (summons, horde buffs). Witch Doctor most resembles the necromancer with his summons and what not. but he just has a bunch of crazy **** I miss the dark / Serious tone of the necromancer. I really hope they make it a DLC at some point for like 5 new classes. like have a throwback character DLC. MESSAGE!

Until the game achieves a propperly Paladin class I'll focus on Barbarian; seems the only class able to take a boss hit without losing 3 lives.

Honestly I am not sure, played all the classes and none stood out. I usually play warrior / paladin so Barb seems like the obvious choice but his early skills weren't that exciting. Monk would be cool if he didn't use fists :/ Demon Hunter was more enjoyable than I expected though.

But he doesn't use his fists, he starts out with cestus. He also uses the bow/staff. Also, my pick will be DemonHunter/Monk at first, followed by Witch Doctor/Wizard, and finally Barbarian.

You can equip a 2h weapon with the monk.
