I played all in diablo 2, but mainly paladin, barbarian, amazon, druid...my strongest was the barbarian...now in Diablo 3 for my 1st I would still use a barbarian. out of curiosity of how much it is different from the old barbarian. and of course the barbarian is by far the strongest character w/out good gears/armor/weapons. it should be easy to farm using barbarian, gett'n gold. then when reach enough, only then will I use other characters.
