how does the monk feel as a melee class? is he focused mainly on offensive or defensive (or both)? is he also able to support other allies with his healing ability and auras?
The Monk feels very fragile compared to the Barbarian but also much more offensive. The auras he provides are also very beneficial to allies just like the Paladin in Diablo 2.

with the monk and barbarian both as melee classes, do they both feel the same or very much different in terms of gameplay?
When I first started playing, I could really tell the difference. However, playing through each class at least twice, I now know they are completely opposite. The Monk is fragile and fast, more of a DPS with AoE potential. The Barbarian is more of a tank, which can take a beating and slice and dice huge chunks of damage off of enemies.
