I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of my D2 copy here in the UK, and while I do, I have been checking out the rules (and discussing, at length, the customisation of heroes with a friend). I noticed in the rulebook it states there are 84 class cards. With 8 classes in total, this doesn't divide equally, so can someone please let me have a breakdown of how many cards each class gets please.

I was also slightly surprised that there were so few. I fully expect a future expansion to significantly increase the number of cards (and probably even them out too), but I suspect that's a way off….

Someone else can post the breakdown, but the main point is that some classes start with two items and others only start with one.

Each class has a starting weapon, starting skill, and 8 skills that can be purchased with experience. IIRC, for the extra 4 cards the Knight and Disciple each start with a shield, the Thief starts with a ring and the Necromancer has the starting stat card for the reanimate.
