Diablo 3

Boro_Bandito:
I thought I was going to play as barbarian for my first playthrough, I think I've just changed my mind.

So we've got what, Barbarian, Witch-Doctor, Wizard & now Monk.  So all that is left is a ranger-type char, ie: a meld of the Amazon and the Druid from, D2.

There's only gonna be five classes to begin with, right?  So that is pretty much that?  With all the health globes falling all over the place you won't need a dedicated cleric class, with Barb and Monk we won't be getting another melee+healing class like the Paladin (and besides, it could be argued that the Monk is just another take on the Paladin), and it feels like any group would be pretty range-deficient with only the Wizard as ranged class.  Maybe they will surprise us, but seeing as a Ranger/Hunter class fills in basically everything that is missing (ranged attacks, spears/javs, crowd control via nets/some sort of nature magic, animal companion summoning) other than straight up heals (which they could throw in I guess, as nature heals?) and solves the problem of the Amazon being sex-specific I thoroughly doubt it.

est:
Also, with character-specific quests I could easily see myself playing through with Barb, Monk and Wizard.  I never really liked the Druid or the Necro, so Witch Doctor doesn't really appeal, and if the final is a Ranger I won't have much interest in that either.  Playing through three times with Barb, Wiz & Monk will do though!

Orbert:
Sounds about right to me.  I believe they said there would only be five classes (to start anyway), and we don't have anyone yet who specializes in ranged physical attacks.

I always play the game all the way through with each class at least once.  In original Diablo, Warriors were easiest in the early game, but Sorcerors totally owned the higher levels.  Rogues had a tough start, too, but eventually got pretty handy in the mid-game, then sucked about as badly as Warriors in the endgame.  D2 and D2X were both much better balanced, and it really did come down to personal preference, but I managed to Matriarch/Patriarch each class at least once.  I plan to do the same with D3.

Man, this game is taking forever to come out.  Not complaining, it's just... okay, I guess I am complaining.

Alex C:
Warriors were actually pretty nasty in the endgame of D1 (a well-built warrior can just smear Diablo) if you mastered the finer points of Tele-killing, but to do that you needed to find enough gear and shrines to bootstrap your way up to being able to cast the damned spell worth a crap to begin with. That was a real feat in and of itself.
