That's unfortunate. Unless a lot of this is changed, it looks I won't be buying Diablo 3 anymore. This is just all kinds of stupid.
From the look of it, there is literally no reason to even have stats anymore. Every one of them is focused on a particular class, and increases both your damage and defense for that class, making the others completely unnecessary. I assume Vitality increases defense more than the others, so there's at least that choice. They may as well just have your damage stat and your health stat, and let you choose between those. Even if this is not fundementally detrimental the way it is, it's just so stupid that the mere existence of it gives me no faith in how they'll handle the game as a whole.
And then white items being useless... Do I even need to explain how stupid it is to have junk items like this in the game? It's nothing more than an annoyance.
Then there's all kinds of smaller issues presented here that aren't worth getting into... Just screw it all.
