Charged bolt sorceress for me. She probably won't be the fastest leveler in the beginning, but I think (hope) that with the new synergies, CB will become more powerful. It's already a decent skill with maxed CB/LM. The new emphasis is going to be on killing a lot of monsters quickly, rather than killing one (boss) quickly. That means area of effect skills, or very fast melee attacks (zeal, fury, etc). I would agree that an elemental druid could do well, considering that a druid can have decent elemental spells, plus a leeching melee drumbeat. I just happen to think that with area of effect cold and lightning spells, a sorceress will be quite capable in the patch. :unsure:
This is, of course, all speculation, based on data that are going to become horribly inaccurate once we reach nirvana. ;)
It is also something to consider that there is going to be a much stronger empahsis on partying, which could place a Paladin at an advantage simply because he can bolster the other members of his party to kill that much faster, even if he does nothing but tag along.
