Personally, I have always gone with casters in any game that offers the choice. I've played straight Sorceresses for the last four or so years on Diablo II. I would go with the Wizard (the Witch Doctor, in my opinion, does not embody the pure casting form). With regards to the Wizard, we still haven't seen a majority of her skills yet, and, as with every other class, runes can and will change aesthetic and functional sides of each skill.
So, if the choice was Barbarian or Witch Doctor- WD. If it was Barbarian, WD, or Wizard- Wizard. If it included the Monk- Wizard. That's just my opinion, though.
You see though, I feel that wizard lacks the fire spells. Quite personally, I am literally a pyromaniac, I love explosions.. Fire... etc. etc. etc. I've been playing on every game that gave me the choice of fire with it, I have been that class got him maxed out first.
I.E. For diablo 1 I picked wizard, diablo 2, I picked sorc. WoW. I picked Mage,
I want FIRE!!! lol yeah but they are missing the fire abilities.
Definately if the next class is fire oriented, I'd choose it
I want FIRE!!! lol yeah but they are missing the fire abilities.
If you want fire than the WD is the class for you, at least for now. Fire is one of this characters assets. Flaming skull!?!. Imbuing your minions with fire (we don't yet know how they are going to do this). Fire bats... Need I say more. If fire is your style than so is the WD.

Then yeah, you're going to want the Witch Doctor, like he said
I.E. For diablo 1 I picked wizard, diablo 2, I picked sorc. WoW. I picked Mage,
The Sorcerer (or Vizjeri) was the caster in Diablo I, then in Diablo II the Sorceress (or Zann Esu), and in Diablo III we have the Wizard from Xensai or however you spell it
Between WD and Barbarian?
WD. I think he will be the least popular class because many people rate the way he look and most of his abilities.
You also said you like fire spells, so be my fella and choose the doc !
I wonder how will look the high tier fire spells of the doc.
Man I can't way to play this game with you guys .__.
i reckon go barbarian cause it will prob be the best start character - being big and strong with the ability to chop limbs off your enemies sounds like a good starting point to me.
But then if you are a fire bug and not willing to try anything else you have but one choice at this stage my friend - Witch Doctor.

So far, the Monk is the most appealing to me. Something about the holy-ness reminds me of the Paladin, my favorite character from Diablo II.
But if the 5th class is a ranged character, chances are it will be the first character I pick for Diablo III, since ranged combat and Havok physics go so well together
I find the wizard to be best all around except melee. The wizard seems to have aloth of arcane and thunder spells a little mix of one or two fire ice and poison but his fire spell is sick i dont know what its called but in the Wiz GPvid she explodes a door with a bunch of raining missles almsot like nukes if you will. And she also has hydra imo the best spell for the sorc in D2. But again if your looking for a real fire class i think that WD is better cause he has a tree dedicated with fire and poison spells then curses and fire and poison add ons for his summon tree

That was Meteor Shower I believe, now renamed to Arcane Torrent, and I would imagine the effects for it have slightly changed to accomodate the "arcane" side of it...
I hate how they are turning the wizard in a one dimensional character by taking out the fire and poison spells and put whole bunch of arcane crap (i hate "arcane" because it menas nothing. It's a bunch of purple lights.. lame).

Lol I donno man - one dimensional is not what they are doing imo.
Remember that the wizard is meant to be a badass delving into forbidden magics (forbidden because they are unpredictable and dangerous). Prrrreeetttty sure the char will have several dimensions by official release date.
Especially if they pull off the new rune system - their may be a rune that changes your arcane spell/s into fire...possibilities are endless.

It's just that i don't really like what blizzard do with their wizard/mage/sorceror class. They make then limited to some elements and thats what I call one dimensional.
In D2 the sorc could only use elemental spells, and only from 3 types of elements. The result is some almost identical spells (ice bolt/glacial blast/glacial spike, meh).
In WoW the mage again are limited to only 3 elements (fire, frost and arcane).
I was hoping they had changed this formula for D3 when they gave spells of all elements to the wizard. However they are constantly taking then out one by one and i can alread see the wizard having only 3 elements (lightning, frost and arcane) pluss some physical neutral spells. I hope i'm wrong though.
you know i thought the wizard kinda looked stupid compared to the barbarian, but after seeing people playing wizard and blizzcon and how fast the mana recharges i was like HOLY SH*T and i think they made a fast mana recharge since diablo 3 is like explosions and you epicly pwning everything lol

Barbarian, or Witch Doctor
And welcome to the community
Well, I don't really care melee or not, imo, pick one.. Which one do you think will be less popular will be a better question.
But you know, I would do wizard, but it has a lack of... spells, not really spells as much as it is that it doesn't seem as fun as anything else
So, if the choice was Barbarian or Witch Doctor- WD. If it was Barbarian, WD, or Wizard- Wizard. If it included the Monk- Wizard. That's just my opinion, though.
