New update!

Level requirements for items and skills have been raised but the level cap for the Beta hasn't so I'm stuck with a bunch of items I crafted but can no longer equip. Not much of a problem since they were way overpowered for my level anyway. The main problem is that some of the skills that I was able to use before I will no longer get to use.

Also, there are a lot more creatures spawning, a lot more bosses, and they are way harder than before. (I could really use my old items right about now.) But bosses now drop health globes when you get a critical hit, so that helps a lot.

I suspect Blizzard is done with testing skills and crafting and is now testing item drops and monster difficulty.

That should be "Mystic Artisan". Jeweler is still in the game (though not the Beta) and combines gems to socket into items.

They fixed this in the newest update, you can now move your skills to various # slots or left/right mouse click.

It's probably all planned out to test specific aspects of the game. I think Blizzard already has a finished product and they just want some more data before D3 goes gold.

Release date May 15th.  Geez I need to finish Skyrim and ME3 before I get this...

I recently read a post by a Blizzard dev that basically stated that any content in the Diablo III beta is considered open to the public. That is, there is no non-disclosure agreement regarding what's in the beta. So feel free to ask me any questions!

Also, here are some screenshots:

The first two are examples of the improved character stat reporting. The "Adventure" category at the bottom includes stats for Movement Speed (%), Gold Find (%), Magic Find (%), Bonus Experience (%), and Bonus Experience per Kill (#).

The next two show off the new zoom function and the fifth and final screenshot shows one of the randomly spawning unique bosses.
