	it's 31 flavors of broken, we 10 Skulled a few quests but it's SO broken it's not worth further testing on this build.

	So, based on the videos, it's all champions all the time with extra helping of champion ghosts?

Being able to die at any moment gives a nice adrenaline rush which is a nice change. Was it fun? Jury's still out. What's on lama right now is so bugged you can't even give it a good evaluation yet.

	So every mob is a champion and blanket immunities everywhere? Fun. Basically go (broken) ranged or not bother trying?

	Well at least now we know what gear will invalidate the slavers gear in a couple months. Reaper mode gear!

	Grab life by the pussy.

Tried a caster and holds land but so many mobs have DW you can't really insta-kill. Can't nuke either. as the damage is about a 10th what it is on live. Way too many champions have the 2000 slashing DR or whatever the heck it is, looks like you'll need to be spec'd for multiple damage types which is a big old fuck you to Kensais (unless you're a TWFing/SWFing Piece-specced light-blades and can switch to Celestias). The ranged damage increase is a bug, an hysterical bug where my tempest who's barely range-specced is getting like 4000 front-number on non-crits.

	there's not that much solutions anyway if they want to stick to the D&D model... It's Heaps of HPs, overall Immunities and insane DR... Otherwise the CR just go out of the window ( and we can't have CR1K mob in a LVL 31 quest, that won't do... even if the model say so to make a decent challenging mob that's not a huge overall Immune Bag'o'HP with insane DR )

	Yes my avatar is an Hermine eating a Greenland Lemming for brunch.

	there needs to be rare items or something super rare for 10 skulls. ignore the petty bitches crying because they cant get access to those rewards. highest difficulty should be highest reward. period. end of discussion. talking to you, fran....

TBH I was disappointed when they offered non cosmetics for mysterious rems. I want an ultrahard mode that offers unique trophey rewards, like being able to fly in public areas or a cosmetic armor that's fucking symmetrical.

	It sounds like a return of the old epics. Make the mobs so deadly that you have to use CC tactics to stay alive. I like it. But then I've never been a fan of the caster with shit DC's and all DPS.
