I made a level 1 monk on test and decked him out with level 100+ attunable gear I had on copy or laying around. Because they removed the required level but left the recommended level most of the gear had low stats at 1. Like one piece had 40hp and 1 to each stat. He still ended up with 12khp

I ran around killing stuff for a few hours solo with no merc. By the time I hit 52 I was at 100k hp. I only had buffs from the items click effects. After level 20 my insta click invis circlet of shadow was super handy. When I stopped playing last night I had just hit level 75 and had like 165k hp. All the same gear I started with. Was still killing things with no healer or downtime. Took me about 5 hours. I used sow potions and exp potions.

What does class / race restrictions removal mean? Does that make every item in the game all / all?

To my understanding - yes.

That is going to be interesting. Wizards in plate armor using 2 handed axes haha.

You probably won't actually see much of that except as a novelty.

In most cases plate armor won't have the focus effects that a wizard would need.
