I'm mainly interested to see (Admittedly based on a small sample size), what is turning out to be the LEAST played character.

#3 Posted by Gargantuan (1809 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Barbarian, probably female.

#4 Posted by MariachiMacabre (5385 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

male Witch Doctor

#5 Posted by Ravenlight (7102 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

The Wizard, of course. I'll name him Chris Remo.

#6 Posted by MatPaget (1110 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I'm going to go with a Male Demon Hunter called DiegoHotspur

#7 Edited by SeanFoster (672 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I'll be playing as a Monk and a Wizard to begin with, I'm not sure which one will end up getting played the most. I'll give a Witch Doctor a try as well.

I'm not going to lie, I mostly want to be a Wizard so I can comment on how fucked up stuff is.

#8 Posted by MEATBALL (1991 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I was really impressed with how satisfying the Barbarian felt to use during the public beta, but I think I'll go with Demon Hunter. I really enjoyed my time with the class.

#9 Posted by Fattony12000 (4381 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

All classes.

#10 Posted by Soapy86 (2429 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Witch Doctor

But my first class.....HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@Gargantuan: I thought the female barbarian looked terrible when I saw it in the open beta weekend.

#12 Posted by Galiant (2126 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I voted Demon Hunter, but I'm so indecisive. I can't pick one.

She at least sounds scandinavian, unlike the male.

Probably Barb, leap helps get to bosses pretty quick, maybe not as fast as a demon hunter or Wizard with teleport (they do still have that right? I haven't checked.) That hook is pretty fun too.

Jumping straight into hardcore at level 10. I think the only class I won't play in DIII will be Witch Doctor, found him quite boring, same reason I never played Necro in D2. Wizard will probably be my second class, just for the fast boss rushes.

#15 Edited by Savage (211 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Solo: Witch Doctor (male, for the voice)

Multiplayer: Monk (male, for the beard)

#16 Posted by Rhaknar (5791 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

WD

Between Wizard and Witch Doctor. For the first one. I plan to play just about everything through the game though (except maybe Demon Hunter. I was not in love with the demon hunter during my time with it in the beta, but it's hard for me to tell if that was just the early levels, just me being tired of going through the start of act 1 close to ten times, or if I just don't like what the class does compared to everything else.) Wizard was probably one of my most enjoyed though, and Witch Doctor allows for some things I find amusing and fun. Barbarian is also maybe in the running just because my first Diablo 2 character was a Barbarian.

So the only thing for sure that won't be my first will be a Demon Hunter or a Monk. I'll vote Wizard, but, really it could be any one of those other three, but Wizard seems to be my instinctive answer.

#18 Posted by chrissedoff (1696 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I think the Witch Doctor, but I might play the Monk. It depends on what my brother picks.

#19 Posted by Deadmanforking (469 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Witch docter. Never thought I'd go with that, but had the most fun with the docter in the beta.

#20 Edited by NaDannMaGoGo (338 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Barbarian - Male for Singleplayer.

DH - Probably Female for 2player with a friend ^_^

I do love them all though, that game is never going to burn out of content for me o,,o

#21 Posted by HarlechQuinn (378 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Starting with the Monk (male) in our currently four men strong multiplayer group... and two days later when only two people (myself included) are left I will switch to the Witch Doctor (male)...

#22 Posted by MrMuscle (369 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I will play a Barbarian for my solo games and Monk when I'm playing coop with my brothers.

#23 Posted by Tennmuerti (6823 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Female Monk.
 
Love a melee class built around agility and mobility. Teleporting around at all times with every punch, being a blur on the screen in constant motion has been great in the demo.
Female couse she has a very slavik "russian" accent :P

#24 Posted by Jimbo (8911 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Hey, Witch Doctor! Give us the magic words!

#25 Posted by Ghostiet (4761 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Monk. Enjoyed it the most, it's dynamic and I like that in my hack'n'slashes.

#26 Posted by Danteveli (798 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

demon hunter

#27 Posted by UnoGenius (141 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I'm rolling a demon hunter, but I'm interested in the monk.

#28 Posted by Ben_H (2686 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Barbarian first, then a mage class second. That's what I usually do.

I wish there was Necromancer. I want to play a cruise control class again. Build skeletons, kill everything with no effort.

#29 Posted by lancer75 (84 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I want to play everything but the Witch Doctor. I'll start with the Demon Hunter, I like how agile the class feels.

#30 Posted by JJOR64 (18132 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Barbarian for me. Love Warrior/Warrior type classes.

#31 Posted by Breadfan (6056 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Demon Hunter, most likely. I like to play ranged characters.

#32 Posted by emem (1923 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

It's great to see that it's almost even.  
 
I'll probably play the Wizard first, simply because I want to use chain lightning.

#33 Posted by CaLe (2503 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

BARB. Was the most satisfying class to play in BETA. bita.

#34 Posted by fishmicmuffin (1004 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I decided to go with a barbarian because that was the first class I played in Diablo 2. Barbs were also a lot of fun to play in the beta. Every class was fun though.

#35 Posted by fox01313 (4741 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Hard to tell really as with other class specific RPGs/MMOs I tend to spend about an hour with each class before picking a main & possibly rerolling that class once I get a better feel for the game.

#36 Edited by xxNBxx (876 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Most likely a WD first, (not sure if I will go male or female, I like the voice acting for both) the group I am going to play with on launch day already will consists of a DH, Barb, and Monk. So I had to pick between a Wiz and a WD and I flipped a coin.

#37 Posted by Ascardon (64 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

Witch doctor is awesome love that jamacian accent it really sets the tone. May 15 can't come soon enough.

#38 Posted by valrog (3670 posts) - 1 year, 22 days ago

I like Demon Hunter the most for now. Female.

#39 Edited by Chubbaluphigous (560 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

I normally roll spell casters in RPGs. They are typically the most fun for me because I casting spells interest me more than swinging a sword. But I remember when i did a Inferno playthrough of D2, almost all the creatures were immune to most of the elemental attacks. You also have to mid-max a single element if you want to get the higher end spells, and I don't want to be pigeon holed into a single element or 2.

Right now I am planning on playing through as the Demon Hunter because I also really like agile characters. Also I figure that if I am playing a game where I am hunting demons, then I should probably play as a hunter of demons. I am pretty interested in the Monk too. That will probably be my second playthrough.

#40 Posted by JP_Russell (1171 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Well, I'll play all of them, but my first pick will be the Witch Doctor. I like pets.

#41 Posted by Subject2Change (2869 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Wizard, prob Female (if iam gonna stare at pixels for the next 20 years might as well be female)

#42 Posted by Grimluck343 (1073 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

I'm really surprised to see the Wizard poll below the Witch Doctor, mainly because I think the Witch Doctor is boring as hell.

#43 Posted by Tim_the_Corsair (3065 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Probably a magic-using class in whichever far superior RPG I play instead

#44 Edited by TheDudeOfGaming (5879 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Demon Hunter, cause i fucking hate demons! But all of the classes look really cool.

#45 Posted by liquidmatt (229 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

I played Demon Hunter then Witch Doctor for beta. Have to say the Witch Doctor swings it. Being able to call him 'Dre' has nothing to do with my choice. Maybe.

#46 Posted by WinterSnowblind (7379 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Demon Hunter for my first single player play through.

Not sure after that, maybe the Monk.

#47 Posted by Hitchenson (4586 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Wizard.

#48 Posted by Crono (2599 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

I'm gonna have a die with me when I first sit down to play D3 and the roll will determine my first hero. I like them all so much that I just can't choose on my own.

#49 Posted by MentalDisruption (1329 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago

Witch Doctor for life. I'll make a monk and demon hunter eventually as well.

#50 Edited by Tennmuerti (6823 posts) - 1 year, 21 days ago
@Crono: Do you have a 5 sided die?
