I've not played the first diablo's is this game worth getting?
Yes. If you get it I'll play with ya. I wanna try out the Barbarian.

No, no, no no no no.
At level 60, Barbarians are the saddest class right now. All the Barbarians are re-rolling ranged classes. If you have ANY intention of playing seriously at level 60 and trying to make it through Inferno, you straight up can't do it on a Barb unless you get people to carry you. Demon Hunters and Wizards are the ones who are beasting Inferno right now.
One of the guys I game with daily rolled Barb, and he's ended up having to spec to be a support class in order to have ANY hope of doing inferno. He has to use throwing knives, and that seismic wave.... Because he CAN'T get into melee range or he dies. The comp we're running with right now is: A wizard puts a blizzard down and slows all the mobs, while the Barb spams Seismic wave to knock them back into the blizzard repeatedly, while I (the Demon Hunter) unleash the DPS and try to down them before the Barb runs out of fury. And he can't regen fury because he can't get in melee range to hit them.
Frankly, I'm having a much easier time in Inferno when I run double-DH. But I feel bad for my Barb buddy, so I'm trying to help carry him.
Barbs are absolutely the worst class at 60 right now. By a mile.

I'll probably suck to be honest.
I only had a tiny bit of play time with Diablo 2 a while back and I don't play these kinds of games in general so I'm a n00b myself.
I'm finding it more fun to solo so far. That may change as I get further into hell though (had the most frustrating night ever after sloooowly grinding the butcher down because I have crappy dps right now, I died to him pulling me into the fire when he had no visible health bar left. gaaaah.)
sadface. I'm hoping monks fare a little better since we're a little more agile, despite also being in melee range? Hell is fine so far but I'm a little afraid of inferno.
No, no, no no no no.

what stats your dh has?

Well, since I'm not 60 then your stuff about Inferno doesn't really apply to me. I'll eventually get all of the characters through Inferno, anyway. I don't see a need to rush one through it.No, no, no no no no...
I pull 40,000 DPS right now. It's getting pretty respectable. I have a DH buddy who is up to 60,000 DPS, and I'm trying to catch him.

I agree, the story writing isn't amazing. Especially considering the amount of time they've had/spent working on this title... Oh well, still a fun time!Well, I'm obviously way, way, behind you folks, but after putting together a new PC I bought a copy and started playing a bit last night... my little monk hit level 10 today .
So far, it seems pretty fun, although the writing is not up to BioWare standards, the gameplay is probably better. But the clicking is starting to do a real number on my fingers and wrist!

Is that the Damage value on your character screen? Mine's only around 13k, 40k must be insane.
That's one of the symptoms of WoW/EQ-style raiding that I never liked. Thankfully, games like Guild Wars 2 are coming out that will hopefully change what I consider to be bad game design.Sorry, I thought you were more 'deciding' which class to level. I more run with the attitude that "the game doesn't really begin until 60", as do my friends. So I suppose I tend to project that onto others.
I've never seen any Blizzard announcement that Inferno would take months to beat. I did see someone say they thought it would take a week (rather than the 4 days it took due to the resurrection bug).Inferno is still beatable without bugs. Its not hard enough, and certainly not hard enough that Blizzard should expect it to take months.
