Is a legendary mighty weapon a better weapon choice for a barb or a legendary weapon? or is it too early to tell?
Will the weapon speed be a BIG issue when it comes to Barb's whirlwind? Like back in D2, barb's whirlwind hit depended on the IAS weapon speed. Will it be the same for diablo 3? thank you
it doesnt help... only those skill/spells that say 100% or some round number is easy to calculate in ur head... but do i have to pull out a calculator everytime i want to know how much dmg im doing.... ie those skill/spell with odd dmg modifyier
its not hard to implent... comon.... and it will be easier for newbies and others to visualize... instead of seeing just a percentage

It's too early to tell because we don't know the set stats for gear. As for the WW, with the new system it shouldn't be a problem, it will tick as fast as you swing.

I agree, the tooltip for skills should display at least dps, if not min-max, with your current equip. I hope they implement this too.
Anybody know what % of your armour will be coming from stats as opposed to your actual armour slots? Because of the barb vit-->armour and monk dex-->Armour conversions I'm wondering how significant they are to actually take those passives. 1 armor/point seems small but you're getting lots more stat points or so I hear and armour values in d2 were like stupidly high.

Only playing solo and no you don't split experience. In fact playing with a follower will probably yield the highest MF% possible since you get 20% of whatever your follower has where as in multiplayer it averages out everyone's MF%. Only bonus of Co-Op is obvious synergy of abilities with one another and monsters having 325% more health while your group has 400% damage thus technically killing stuff faster. But one person slacking or being dumb stops that. So really it all comes to what the individual prefers.

Eh, what? Why would it average out MF% when everyone gets their own loot?

To deter from one person stacking MF and costing the group killing power. It was a pretty big topic when it was announced. Wasn't that way at first and Blizzard changed it halfway through Beta.
Well, at higher levels everyone will be xp capped, so not a problem. Before the level cap, the game is supposed to be easy enough that xp leeching shouldn't be a problem.

How does the Demon Hunter get hatred? Are the generator Skills the only way to gain hatred? That would mean you have to spam 17(!) times grenades or bola shot (+3 hatred) in order to fire just one cluster arrow (-50 hatred). I guess this would be quite annoying. Does hatred regenerate by itself as well maybe? Ore are there hatred generation items?

Base Hatred regen is 4 points per second. Increased hatred regen can be an affix on items.
Skills like Preparation - Punishment can fully regen hatred also. With passives and runed generators it is easy to be getting way more hatred than you need.

No you can't transfer.
What wait. HC chars dont share the same chest in town?

If they did you could mule items you've died for a hundred times from softcore to hardcore.

But HC chars share a chest amongst HC chars, right? If I loot a Barb item on my HC WD, I can still transfer amongst the HC chars?
