I'm leaning toward Barbarian for preference. Of course there will be more classes later though.

Witch Doctor or Babarian?
I'd like to try Barbarian in hopes that melee classes (and their respective builds) wont be so horribly gear-dependant.
out of those two, def going to have to go with the witch doctor for the cool looking skills. The barb looks like a hulk smash kind of thing.
I am leaning towards witch doctor because i have played melee soo many times now. I just think spellcasters are more fun to play at the moment... plus i don't think they are able to remove (lighten it enough) the barbarians gear-dependancy enough without completely overhauling the item/combat system.
fx you have a base damage determined by your strength and weapon type. The weapons will then give you various buffs. They will have to tune these to make sure the Barbarians require the same tier of gear to beat the various enemies as other classes. without making it seem like all classes are the same...
but anyway i still pick spellcaster
I didn't like the necro in Diablo II but the Witch Doctor looks interesting, but I like melee classes so I will probably play as a barb more often.
I loved the necromancer and I'm upset that he is gone. I can't count how many times I have made a summoner since 1.0.
I'd personally like a warrior more like the one in Diablo 1 then the Barbarian. However, between the two classes right now I'd probably go with the barb just because of how awesome everything looks when you smash em with brute force.

I really want to try out the Witch Doctor, mainly because it's a new class that wasn't in the original. That being said, the Barbarian might be the more refined and fun to play class. Regardless, I'm really itching to try out the Witch Doctor.
"Barbarian. I'm easy to please, and hitting stuff is all I need!We think a like. :)

My Fav class from Diabo 2 was the Necro, so at first glance the witch doctor seems to follow in somewhat the same path. After reading what the dev team said about the witch doctor ( how its more of a direct damage class then a pet class) I am not sure.
I would think the 3 trees for the Witch doctor to be fire/ pestilence / minnions but who knows.
