For farming and leveling, what is the best class in Diablo 3?

What is the best class for leveling in D3?

Well, I logged in to the game and have played a nice session of 4-5 hours. I am not used to gaming for that long, so I can't go all day! Leveled a monk class up to level 13 and I must say that it is more or less easy-mode. Of course Blizzard have said, that normal difficulty is more of a tutorial to the game, so I am looking forward to the remaining levels. Anyway, right now it does feel like monk is easy to level and with the paladin follower specced for support, we are destroying everything! I have always been a fan of defense over DPS, because you can't level when you are dead! So I have gone for a debuffer, defense monk build, that still does decent DPS. The monk goes up against almost everything if you pay a bit of attention to your health and your heal rotation. The different classbuilds you can do, and how the different weapons interact with your skills are very interesting, and I am not worried at all, that we will only see cookie cutter builds at level 60. With all the different gear, runes, skills and followers we will see a lot of varied valid builds.

No raiding means there is no best class for farming and leveling!

Seeing as max group size is 4 and the fact that there is no raiding, you can run any build and class you wish. You don't have to optimize your build to compensate for lack of knowledge or gear in an encounter, because with only 4 people those kinds of margins gained aren't very impressive. Spec however you want to and to have fun. I very much enjoy a high survivability monk with a support-specced follower and that is the best build for leveling and the best build for farming for me.

Leoric's shinbone and other easter eggs

Leoric's shinbone is a charm you can find in Leoric's manor. It's just a nice little piece of fluff, you find in Leoric's manor in the chamber to the right in the fireplace. It doesn't do anything, but it is a nod to the lore. Other than that, the banter between your followers is really well done and very enjoyable. I won't spoil it here, but be sure to pay attention to them.
