See, moose love the Pats too!
Picked it up about a week ago. Level 28 Monk. Still in Act 3 Normal. First time Diablo player. Still figuring out the game. I can't figure out if and extra 30 DPS are better to have than 450 HP? My resistances are crap right now but its still early to worry about it. I'm trying to get my HP and DPS up and worry about resist later.
Resists won't matter much until possibly late Hell or when you get to Inferno. With the recent nerfs, Inferno isn't even that big of a deal anymore.
Hopefully you'll enjoy it long-term since you never played the other Diablo games.
As a long-time D2 player, I'm extremely disappointed with D3. Already sold all my gear on the RMAH and have even reinstalled D2
