I played a lot with the Barbarian, but it was tiring - all the clicking, as you said. I then decided to expand the Demon Hunter, and with some good skills, it's a lot less clicking and more strategy. If you watch one of the streams you will see that even in Torment the character does little close quarters and doesn't jump into the fray - lots of arming traps, using skills and companions. The few times it's in the middle of a mob, a couple of knife skills can get it clear in not time.

 

I almost always play games as a close combat player. I should look at the different roles for D4 and consider another class. 

I am about level 19 in the last couple of days.
