Just forget everything about the classes, stats, and starting equipment from the beta. They will be completely different in the released game. Check the classes page if you haven't already. It includes what the classes will look like. Note that only the Warrior is shown with a shield. And like I've said, the player will receive weapons and armor once the class has been selected. And I don't remember the name or stats of that sword that I mentioned in my blog, sorry.
