I'd like to post a short guide to the perplexed answering some basic questions about Diablo 3 v2.0, and need inputs from people who have been testing it on the PTR.
How does the gameplay and farming compare? The main farming areas, Fields and Crypt for instance, aren't super dense anymore, so where did you find best for farming?
Corrupted Chests and all of the little mini-quests were mega exp in RoS, and always worth doing. Was that also the case on the PTR?
Loot 2.0. How did the self finding and new legendaries work, in terms of finding upgrades over your current D3 gear? My impression is that in D3v2 and Loot 2.0 you'll find lots of stuff that would qualify as "very good" but that you'll have a real challenge finding anything that's an upgrade over very good, billion-gold type gear...
Chars or builds that were really changed? Obviously the Barb is notoriously nerfed/modified, but other chars or builds you found markedly better or worse?
The general combat engine is much different in RoS, with less danger of one or two shot deaths making most fights longer and a bit more strategic. That true on the PTR also?
Anything else that struck you as a big change or difference that you'd have liked to know about going in?
