So I take it you are sad now because Faith>
Windforce
yet again. :P Lvl 1
Burst of Speed
means buh-bye to 7 FPA arrowshots.
Glad I can safely skip on s3.

Never played assassin but double Mosaic seems like a solid way to make martial arts path matter with the final changes to it.

Never was and still won't be.

But yeah, I will miss the added fun of actual solid run speed and whatnot...oh well...was fun for the couple of days it lasted on PTR.

I'm missing "Druid can now cast whatever the hell he wants in wereforms." :/

Though seeing how you can't switch from bear to wolf (and vice versa) without being human in between, it will be mark->BO/BC->other mark, omitting the need for casting changes.

What sneaky bastards.

Class balance changes:
Blizzard wrote:
Assassin
The Assassin's trap skills now benefit from -% to Enemy Resistance.
Fixed an issue where missiles created from Martial Arts
Charge
up skills would not gain the benefit of +% To Elemental Skill Damage modifiers.

Amazon
Fixed an issue where
Strafe
was not applying bonus Attack Rating to attacks.
Fixed an issue where
Strafe
was still doing 75% weapon damage after a previous balance change.
Fixed issue where the +% Attack Rating on
Power Strike
was not being applied.
Fixed the tooltip for Multi Shot to reflect the synergy bonus.

Sorceress
Cold Mastery
is now applied at 1/5 effectiveness after an immunity is broken.
Developer’s Note: We wanted to bring
Cold Mastery
in line with all other skill-based elemental resistance reducing effects for increased consistency.
Fixed an issue where
Fire Mastery
's bonus to fire skill damage didn't apply to the additional fire damage granted by
Enchant
on ranged weapons.
Updated the tooltip for
Enchant
to better reflect the skill's effects.

Druid
Fixed an underlying issue that caused the Druid's Shockwave skill to do an unintended amount of damage.
Developer’s Note: We wanted to implement targeted changes and buffs for the Druid instead of having a particular Druid build be strong because of a bug.
Clarification on what happens to shared stash after ladder season ends:
Blizzard wrote:
For those new to Ladder Seasons, you might be wondering what happens to your Shared Stash loot once the current season ends.
Once Ladder Season Two ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group's shared stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. Any items from Ladder Season One stored in the Withdraw Only tabs will be lost at this time. You will have all of Ladder Season Three to withdraw any items you would like to keep from Season Two. When Ladder Season Three ends, this withdraw only set of stash tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season Three Shared Stash. Be sure to get any items out before then or they will be forever lost!
Other misc bits to point out:

I'll skip S3 then, was going to go HC for the charms and TZs but no need now!

Edit: so I guess Griffon's is now even more valuable?

Both of these are effectively significant buffs to
Strafe
.

For my bowazon, the attack rating fix is nearly a 50% buff increasing
Strafe
's actual AR from the normal attack AR of 20.2K to
Strafe
's listed 29.7K, although the normal AR is already very high that the difference isn't going to be that noticeable.

Strafe
damage gets an actual 33% buff, which is massive since what some people thought was the 33% buff in 2.4 was actually just the synergy buff.

Fixed an issue where the Shared Stash could exceed the memory limit, which caused items in the player's inventory or Stash to be deleted.
I can't tell if this addresses the 8KB limit in the character's stash though.

Don't care, still keeping it in my signature.

I think Hustle not being on NL is a lot more of a drag for everyone who don't want to do ladder. Everyone knows that Stealth is required by all classes when leveling, it's just too good not to use. Now Hustle will be what everyone switches to at lvl 39.

7
I had planned to start ladder from day one this season.

Oh, well. I still have a ton of stuff to do on non-ladder.

Also, a quick question as I don't know the recipes and when they were added very well: does this mean all unique and set piece upgrading can now be done non-ladder and offline?
7
i can see some uses for these RWs:

Hustle [weapon] on an act5
Frenzy
merc wearing sazabi's set...

Hustle [armor] for a javazon

Temper on a trav merc

Bulwark + Hustle [armor] on a act 2 merc

I've just got into HC. Was doing ladder for charms and TZs but now they are coming to NL then I'm happy to continue with this char rather than starting again (since I've barely started on HC anyway).
