I have seen a lot of love for the Barbarian class, but I'm a total sucker for an underdog.
I would like to see more Demon Hunter fans. I'm definitively looking in on getting some Demon Hunter action in BETA and when release hits.
Anyone with me?
YES! I as well am rolling DH off the start. Im thinking burst damage..?
I personally think the Monk will be the strongest class. Extremely fast, Combos and powerful resource generators. I'm still thinking about building a WD first :D.
I agree, personally I would have to say Monk would be on top or defined as one of the "Overpowered" classes with the capability of self heals as well as high evasive maneuvers, however I myself will be playing a wizard seeing as it was my main back in D2. Though who knows at this point, only way we can find out is when we step into the game with its eventual release and start testing out everyone past the betas limits!
Well the combined ability to farm with AoE spells and the wide variety of CC will definately put Wizards near the top if not the top. I believe we will see Sorc 2.0 in the near future. I love how blizzard did not revamp the Sorc but created a fresh new class with unique abilites.
I think it will be something similar to what we saw in D2:
Barbarian will projectively be the best choice for all out melee destruction and survivability.
Wizard will projectively be THE choice for MF, and even rushing, in the sense of having the Wizard Teleport to the boss room and tossing up a TP for everyone to charge into.
Demon Hunter will projectively take on the role of being able to quickly clear multiple packs of mobs without getting touched. Think: CS farming.
Witch Doctor will projectively take on the role that the Necromancer filled in D2: having the ability to sit back and eat a sandwich while farming mobs. They will potentially be the best killers when equipped with MF.
Monk... Let's be real for a second. Blizzard loves Paladins, in any form. Some would argue that Paladins are the "pet class" of Blizzard. That said, the Monk projectively won't be much different. The Monks will be the OP class in D3.
I voted for the monk for many reasons. One being he has ondemand heals and still does tons of damage. Another big one is that they have taken away a lot of the disadvantages for being melee a la constant gap closer and ways to stick on the target. Im not 100% sure monks will be the best but I can say that everyone will want one on their teams.
The monk will definitely be sitting at the top for a while, especially in player vs. player. It will require a skilled kiter to avoid their huge bursts of damage and their survivability is absurd. Teams of monks will become nails on a chalkboard for players due to their several survival and heal abilities.

I voted WD, with his passive abilities to increase his life, and ability to DoT people up and CC, and then spirit walk. He will put his DoT spells on, slow you, pets will attack you, you get close, he spirit walks, you are still taking damage, CC'd again he takes the health globe, you catch up to him, he uses a nuke, pets explode, you die!!
Of course all hypothetical, and there will be tons of variations of builds, but I think the WD will be awesome in PvP.
Thats how I see things working out in my head =) Can't wait for this game. Although I'm thinking wizard will dominate with his dps and slow time making him nimble and hard to hit.
Monk will be the best class in this game or i just believe so .
For sure will be playing monk .. or atleast my first hero will be a MIGHTY MONK :D.
I can't wait to try it out though .. i hope i will enjoy it
I honestly believe it'll be Wizard first. Just my wild guess, until they swing the nerf bat and then it's shifted to another class. Then of course the lovely theory crafters get ahold of parces and whatnot and read waaay too much into the game mechanics.
Even though I'll be playing a wizard myself, I think Witch Doctor has the biggest PvP potential.
Simply looking at his abilities: Fear, Confusion, Spirit Walk, Hex, one can guess that those are about to be imba for PvP.
Second place I would give to Barb since he has 4 "I can reach you" abilities, which can counter most of escape abilities of other classes.
Rest of the classes (including my Wizard) are about to fall behind, more or less.
Nevertheless, having 4v4 bracket will allow any of the class to find a spot.
"Will be on top" in a pvp sence? I'm thinking it will be a ranged class. Alltough im curious to see how gear scales with the different classes. WD/Sorc seem pretty potential.
Monk will be the most sought after partner in pvp due to his defensive/healing abilities. Pure offense the nod will go to barb (in keeping with blizzard's long stance of overpowered melee ).
Worst class will be the WD. The wizard will be better as a straight caster, and the WD's pets will be too easy to avoid.
My guess is that WD will be the best. With all of it's pets and CC, it should be formidable.
Barbarian will projectively be the best choice for all out melee destruction and survivability.
Wizard will projectively be THE choice for MF, and even rushing, in the sense of having the Wizard Teleport to the boss room and tossing up a TP for everyone to charge into.
