be like me then, finish 1 act at a time with all class(more money for artisan, save time for achievements, you can enjoy the story line more, you can get into more random content), by the time you finish normal you should have a good feel on which class to play and what's not     

same boat, smae dilemma

but i narrow down the scope with these criteria:
1. class popularity - most popular class usually cost the gear cost a ton, remember pally torch in D2? a low pally torch worth more than a high barb torch.
2. melee n ranger - imho ranger have better survival power, n involve lower repair costs. be reminded that ppl suspecting repair cost will be 1 of the biggest gold sink in game.
3. mobility - needless to says, to farm, to pick up gold faster

so my final canditate is either a DH or wiz.

my 2cents

Or you can pick the least gear-dependent character, relatively.

The reason I'm going with WD is that I suspect he is less gear dependent than the rest.

all classes are gear dependent now... a 50dps sword on a wizard or WD will greatly increase their spell's damage. Since spell damage now scale with weapon damage.

even pet damage?

i rmb last time D2, when ladder rest i'll start with necro n collecting wealth. casters in D2 are lesser gear dependant.

yup D3 basically all classes are gear dependent. i do think this a good change in D3

That's true.

If this is online only game, meaning i wont be able to play at all if i dont have an internet connection right?

quick question from the beta. we can set the right and left mouse click to what we want to fire right. talking about the Demon Hunter.

how do i set it back to the default shot? just normal shooting without skills

Yes, and it's true what shawnk said.
Persistant Internet connection is required (even for solo play)

What type of gear are you guys planning to wear first?
GF, MF or DPS?
Why?

For me, GF > MF > DPS.. GF to max out my artisan and stash asap and a little bit of MF if possible to find nice items.
