Current-day Diablo III is a pretty different game from the one that launched back in 2012. But for all the changes, one thing remains the same: You still have to choose a character class before you play.
I made a Barbarian as my very first class ever in a diablo game (diablo 3 was my first:o), and god damn it's the most fun I ever have when I play. I like being a big tougher, and I like to be able to swap around between 1h+shield, 1h+1h and 2h.
Back when Diablo III first came out, I wasn't sure which class to pick. Should I be a monk? Or a wizard? Or maybe a barbarian? (In the end, I chose monk, and had a good time, though I did wind up enjoying the demon hunter a bit more for my playstyle.)
Since the 'Ultimate Evil' edition of the game comes out tomorrow on consoles, complete with the new-ish Crusader class, I thought it would be a good time to ask you all which Diablo III class you've ultimately decided is the best. Hopefully this will also be a useful guide for new players, who may still be unsure which class to choose.
As far as what 'best' means—it can mean whatever it means for you. Vote for the class you like to play the most.

Current ranking of classes, best to worst?
Topic. Just curious.
Just started playing again after a near 2 year hiatus. Game is significantly improved. Made a Wizard to be my new main, managed to reach 850k dps in about 4-5 days after hitting 70 (not sure how many hours played).
Wizard is tons of fun, and I love my lightning/paralysis build. Fantastic for solo'ing and things just melt to the left click damage.
Wanting to start an alt though, and I'm wondering how the rest of the classes are. Leaning towards Witch Doctor or Crusader at the moment. Thanks
