So in short, sell everything now and cash out instead of holding the gold. Also, does the ladder system reset everything? If they do ladders, do my characters reset as well?
Nah, you don't lose your characters, it'll just be like they are on a different server from ladder characters. So when you start a new ladder character you will have to do things like lvl your artisans and unlock your stash again, but you can always go back to your old characters and have everything.

I have no clue what they are going to do about character slots if they do indeed add ladders. Hopefully they will do something like you get 10sc/10hc/10ladder slots.

Ladders aren't even confirmed so no one knows how it works

I'd assume it would be similar to D2, the ladder would last 6 months or something, the game would have specific items that are only available in that ladder, once the 6 months are up the character turns to "non-ladder" status.

All current characters would be considered non-ladder

If they do add ladders I hope they lessen the leveling curve. I'm really, really not looking forward to playing normal, nightmare, hell, inferno for a new toon every 6 months.

Well, fuck leveling a character through 4 difficulties with an extra act on top every 6 months, especially with all the stuff you can do in the endgame...

edit: we think alike!

Yeah a lot of stuff definitely need to be considered, its boring leveling up over and over and over again

At least in D2 you could rush to hell really quickly, longest part was getting to level 20

Depends on how strong the paragon stuff is. I assume you keep all of its bonuses across each new character/ladder.

Haven't gone through most of the class changes, but neutering Into The Fray will kill a whole ton of barb builds. Blizzard, hint: resource regeneration from doing dps is fun.

lol, then they add 1% max life/resource on kill rune to Mantra of Conviction. Wording is a bit vague on whether it affects yourself though.

I wouldn't even get to worked up over any of the changes. 10 more levels and a gear reset with crazy new gear will change things drastically anyways.

RIP in peace WW barbs

I wonder what Blizzard really "wants" from Barbs. Because they are apparently nerfing what I'd consider the two most popular specs -- WW & Throw Weapon. It looks like they nerfed both so badly each aren't even viable anymore. They even nerfed Seismic Slam's most popular rune.

Are you really going to theorycraft stuff for a game in alpha you will never play in its current state?

Since I have access to all those skills discussed in the changes I can safely "theorycraft" that it would be impossible to run WW/Sprint build with the changes. Not saying that is exactly a bad thing WW/Sprint is pretty damn boring.

It's a nice time to level new characters since the auction house is all out of wack. I was able to consistently find high quality -18 reduced level requirement items for under 100k each. I had two 1000 damage one handers by around level 45.
