Diablo 3 is coming, which class are you going to play? The barbarian with overwhelming power to destroying enemies or the monk has flurries of punching and kicking attacks? Pcgamer conducted a small survey with game developers and shared their choices with players. It seems that barbarian and monk are quite popular among game developers. So what’s your opinion? Hope that you would share your choice with us.

BLIZZARD
Barbarian – Jay Wilson, Diablo III Game Director
"Because no one in Diablo III breaks things better! Being a Barbarian is leaping into the thick of the fighting, being tough enough to take as good as you get, and never being afraid of anything. "

RUNIC GAMES (creators of Torchlight II)
Witch Doctor – Max Schaefer, CEO, Runic Games
"I'm rolling a Witch Doctor because it's the weirdest class. I usually end up just wanting to mash things, so I'll go Barbarian eventually, but my first will be a Witch Doctor for sure. ".

Soon after Diablo 3's release, Blizzard will roll out an important feature for the game's official website. The new profiles feature will allow you to check out detailed information about other players' characters.

When the profiles are first implemented, they'll have two main components. A career tab will show a player's progress in the D3 campaign, all of their heroes (including the ones slain in Hardcore mode) and other stats. The heroes tab, meanwhile, will give you in-depth information on individual characters, including equipment, skills and Followers. A couple screenshots below show what this interface looks like.

Blizzard will eventually expand these profiles to include more information. For example, they plan to display characters' achievements and artisans. No timeline was provided for these additions.

These profiles sound similar to the Armory feature in World of warcraft. The Armory is a handy way to keep tabs on friends' accomplishments or check out more experienced players' equipment and skill trees - I'd imagine D3 players will use character profiles in the same way. It'll help you screen potential allies for Inferno mode as well.

D3 will launch on May 15th worldwide.

As a result, this Blizzard's upcoming action RPG continues to set new records of prerelease anticipation ahead of next week's official launch.



"Today, it became the most pre-ordered PC game of all-time on Amazon.com – even exceeding pre-orders for Blizzard's own StarCraft II and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm," A representative for Amazon said.

Note that company's preorder tally included World of warcraft Annual Pass subscribers, who are entitled to a free copy of Diablo III through a special promotion.
