Diablo III beta video demo indicates towards early release date.

Recently I've been hearing whispers of an upcoming D3 public beta. Naturally this brought me back to the official webpage to check out character classes to see what I wanted to play. I have to say, the options are nicely multicultural:

In years past, I played amazon, barbarian, druid and assassin- my favourite being the amazon. She was so damn quick. I seem to favour hunter-type characters, though I may go with barbarian this time around. Raging fat men ftw.  I'm still unsure as to what class to go for. And yes, I know it's Blizzard, so release dates mean nothing... but I'm still excited to try out the beta if it is released before the summer ends. Currently the beta is in a closed stage for media only. I played so much D2 in junior high, hahaha. I'm keeping my fingers twisted in knots.

What D3 class would you choose and why?
