The gameplay video showed a full set of "Barbarian" armor. So this raises two questions for me:
Does this mean that all your armor must be specific to your class? In other words, will there no longer be, say, a Breast Plate drop that all classes can wear - just specific "Witchdoctor armor" or "Barbarian armor" - armor you HOPE gets dropped for your class?
And second, if the above isn't true - will Blizzard be bringing back class-specific items (like Druid pelts and Sorc orbs and Pally shields, etc.)?

it will most likely be the same as in d2, where there will be some class specific drops and other general drops. as mentioned above, there will most likely be many many more items in d3. im excited to see what new elite items there are, oh the possibilities are endless!
I bet they got class-sets and such, ithink D3 will have even more items then D2 (would be odd othervice). Also that they will make it possible to send items between your own characters is a nice addition, will make it alot more smoother and fun to boost up your alts
Yea I was thinking it was a class set at first, but it appeared to be only basic armor, no set bonuses. But yea I agree I'm sure they'll be bringing sets back.
Also I haven't heard or read that about transferring items within an account - do you have a link you could share?
I hope they don't have full sets of armour that are "Barbarian only"... I don't mind one or two class specific items. they were pretty sweet.
I don't mind SETS (green) that are designed specifically towards a class, but yeah if they have like, all the uniques that are plate say "barbarian only" I will probably re consider playing this game.

as far as we know: There will be armor that fits everyone...in the video he wears armor that i believe is called plated (insert here)...such as plated armor, helm, gloves, and so on...this means that everyone can where it, but it LOOKS specific to them...a steel helmet on a barbarian looks different than it will on a witch doctor.
What we dont know: I hope (but dont know) if there will be any class specific items...i hope there is SOME like in D2 but not too too many.
Ah I see now... I misread the names of the item on the video - (it was the lo-res version). But he still mentioned that "all gear is custom designed for each class in a unique way" - still makes me wonder about class specific stuff.
Yeah I don't THINK they will... but my opinion on class specific loot is that it is very bad. Takes away all the creativity of building a new character

I hope not. That was one of the unique things about Diablo. If you had the stats, you can use the item.

Long, long time Diablo fan; short, short time with DiabloFans.

I think that there are base armor sets so like think oblivion armor but it would look differently from class to class. That would explain why the Helm equipped on the Barb didn't match the helm in the inventory.

my thoughts exactly
unless it said so every class could wear whatever they wanted just by keeping in mind stats (str dex..ect) i like being able to have a plated sorc and stuff. it may not have been practical but i like having lots of options.
and class specific items are cool too but i dont want too many either.
They better have a large variety of armor, that would be terrible if half the population had the same armors running around with glowing seizure inducing weapons
Didn't want to make a new thread for this, but did anyone else notice the lack of loot dropping in the demo? Generally bolts arrows , keys and random crap always drop, but probably its just not complete yet.

I think they rigged it so they didn't give away too much info about some of the items and loot that would be dropping (minus the set which they wanted to show off)
to answer the orig q, without reading any others.
im pretty sure there will be general all wear items as in diablo 2 , as well as sets such as tals and IK ,, feel me?

I think you are correct in this assumption.

I'm extremely happy with this because I loved class specific items
