been reading a bunch on the d3 forums lately. lots of cool things i didnt know about. One being runes and how they are no longer for socketing items but socketing the skills themselves which alters the skill. kinda cool. Arena pvp will be item/ladder based, you will be matched up against people with equal level gear and char level. Looks like beta will possibly be announced or some other "major" D3 announcement at the next blizz conference call 9MAY2011
