I suggest you barbarian, that's the best starter class on HC imo.
Barbarian is great, more vitality, more versatile weapon choice based on Ratio and able to use Retribution + Powerstrike.
Based on this, the barbarian is the best choice for hardcore, But, you can not deny that Fighter would be equivalent based
on the fact that Powerstrike is used more effectively at earlier stages of the game, and retribution at higher levels.
If Axe is the weapon of choice, this would also add more persuasion that the Fighter class is more optimal based on Ratio.
There are variables that people do not take into account. But, I don't fully disagree with you at all.
