With the recent changes to the way runes work, theres NO reason to have more than one of each class because switching all your skills and runes to another set up takes as much time as switching to another character, and you dont even have to swap gear or anything.
With no build commitment no one will have a frost wizard and a fire wizard and an arcane wizard they will have ONE wizard that can do everything. That was one of the things I loved about D2 and the franchise as a whole was that I could have two level 90 paladins and they could be INCREDIBLY different on stat preferences on gear on skill points on stat allocation etc and it made it feel like there were a lot of unique experiences to be had with each class.
I will have 10 characters and I will probably be deleting and remaking many characters. Theres 5 for soft core and hardcore but I'll be remaking alot of characters both hardcore and softcore because I want to expirience every little hidden random event which I know I'm crazy but thats my story and im stickin to it. In my opinion give me 20 and I'd be happy

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

Some may think I'm trolling or being sarcastic but I'm not.
There are those out there that might play (even a tiny bit of) RP and have their character names and roles. A wizard named OMGFostyLOL won't swap spells for arcane, fire, or lightning. Same for the other chars.
I personally have a list of names I want to use and if that means I have to use multiple characters that can all do the same thing so be it. Maybe one day I feel like using Frosty. But another day I want to use Enfuego.
TLDR: Bottom line, its a game and you can do what you want with it. If you only want 5 character slots, cool beans. If you want to use all 10, hey what do ya know that's what they're there for!

another thing you may want to consider is the gear you can get. If you have a wizard, maybe you get gear that is for a fire wizard or an arcane one. if you get several things like that it may be more beneficial to stay one build over the others and switching from fire to, lets say frost, would be dumb cause your gear is for fire
Its so you can have 5 extra mules...that's why they don't need the extra tabs for the shared stash ;-)
Wait what? you mean people will be hording all kind of other things that will take up inventory space other then runes? Damn, better make those unlocks at specific levels too to avoid bag clutter!
