It just seems like the running speed seems a little slow in d3 and since teleport isn't spammable anymore i feel fleshy classes like the wiz might be at a disadvantage up against a barb of the same speed. Same goes for demon hunter. Anyone happen to know anything about its [increased run/walk] return?

I almost said probably not because then people would stack it for PvP, then I realized this wasn't WoW and I don't have to worry about the entire game being balanced for PvP.
They haven't mentioned a whole lot on item properties yet though.
The Monk had a Trait in the 2010 Blizzcon build that increased the Monk's base movement speed(called Fleet). While in a few ninja photos showed that Amethyst increases movement speed while the gem is socketed into helms.
But with the recent change of the Traits to Passives that might not be a movement speed factor anymore, and Gem's stats are subject to change.

They also mentioned that they have a few sets of modifiers they can turn on and off with skills (and I assume other elements) when in a PvP environment. Run Speed would/could easily be one of them.
I for one enjoyed it. It was one of those perks of having high end gear.
It can be balanced by only allowing certain slots have this mod. So you can't stack it to ridicolous amount, like D2 (movespeed only appeared in boots if i'm not mistaken).
I find +run speed to be a bit un...cool I guess I mean id much rather stack up on something that makes me kill faster not go faster and in pvp I think most classes have sorta a "catcher" ability the barb has leap attack, ancient spear wizard has slow time, teleport ect, ect. So all in all I don't think run speed is a very cool or useful attribute in D3.
Actually they only talked about the toggle walk/run ... not the speed of run itself. They never mentioned anything about items having increased runspeed or not.
oh my bad lol obviously wasnt paying enough attention when I answered. I think at one point they mentioned run speed being shown on your advanced character description which makes me think you can increase it but I don't really remember... oh well.. TIME WILL TELL!!! woo!!!
If you can increase run speed, I hope there is at least some sort of cap so that the animation still looks fluid and realistic for the game and not totally ridiculous.

Blizzard not putting any ranking for pvp is a blessing in so many ways
I don't PvP too much in my RPG's. Usually because I don't like playing rock, paper, scissors over and over. When it is in a game like this, I prefer completely separate rule sets for PvE and PvP. They should have done it with wow, and thankfully they are doing it to an extent in this game.
The lack of a ranking system, or competitive play seems silly though... My understanding was that this was the "other" side of D2 that I never got into, but that it was a significant part.

Idk. I just feel that without an item like enigma. [assumption] The fast paced action that is diablo 2, might be missing for me. The whole twitch reflex mechanic that d2 offers is what draws me in so much. But you do have a great point. Movement speed increases attached to boots would be a great solution but only time will tell.
