When I was watching some news from the last datamining in Moldran's Vid...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR4DUvrOk1Y&feature=c4-overview&list=UUho-XTOszUf8vxjy0bm20lA
...I stumbled over some things that I just had to mention in the forum: It will make the classes more the same. This happened in WoW years ago (because fans were demanding and crying for balance) and many people regretted it. Spells already existed on certain classes were given to other classes aswell, etc...
Some quotes from YT:
Barbarian:
2x passive changes have now "Gain life per _Fury_ spent" For example the 3% lifelech turn into that now... That's a monk passive o_O Why make the classes the same? And btw I played a monk quite some time, and this ability should have been buffed, it was too weak when you had better equip. This fixed numbers are very bad for the lategame... (As you can think yourself they won't raise but with a little bit more spirit gained).
"Hurricane - pull all mobs to you" AGAIN this was a Monk special - here happens the same as in wow years ago what many regretted later: Classes get skills from the other classes etc. Btw: For the Monk this already exists: Cyclone (pull all mobs). ...
Demon Hunter
"shadow wall" new for Demonhunter. But monk has it, witchdoctor has it.
Wizard
Blackhole - This is from the last datamining but there will be a monk's like cyclone for Wizard now.
I think everyone sees now what blizzard is doing here.
This is just a few things I noticed, I was far from reading it all. I am kind of tired from posting things that Blizzard did wrong before the release, because so many were complaining and joining me and it didn't help. And now 2 years later (?) they are "fixing" it, perhaps. Other stuff looks great, looks - mind you.
Hopefully there are some more smart people who add some critique and helpfull stuff for this topic as I am not really into forums anymore :) Thanks
ps: if you don't exactly know what the quotes are talking about it's in the relativly short Video given in the Link. And sry for the bad english, I am no native speaker and from europe, posting here because Blizzard doesn't look there. I am posting for the greater good, you!
Tl;dr In RoS there will be spells from certain classes on other classes what will hurt the diversity of classes, i.e. monk's cyclone -> barb's hurricane -> wizard's blackhole.
