I generally hate melee based characters but I must say since I played the Berserker in the tl2 beta it imediatly became my favorite class. I just love the habilities overrall and the animalistic feeling of the character. After that I'll probably play ether the Engineer or the Outlander. The Embermage is the less atracting class for me since it's basically just a revamp of the Alchemist, or at least it feels like it (not saying that's a bad thing, the Alchemist was my favorite class back in TL1, but I just played it way too friking much).
