Deckard Cain is dead, Tyrael is human, and Diablo has boobs. That's about it.

So I was reading through the FAQ on the D3 RoS site and I noticed this. I haven't seen it mentioned (or just don't remember) on here anywhere and thought I'd post it. Two more difficulties past Torment (Demonic and Apocalypse).
Have any changes been made to the difficulty scaling or settings in Reaper of Souls?
In Reaper of Souls, the game difficulty settings have been updated to Easy, Normal, Hard, Torment,Demonic and Apocalypse. Similar to the way the tiered settings and Monster Power work in Diablo III, higher difficulty levels present more powerful enemies who will potentially reward players with more powerful loot! Unlike the previous tiered difficulty system, though, players are not required to defeat the game on a lower setting in order to unlock a higher difficulty setting. These settings can be selected at any time, for both Campaign Mode and Adventure Mode, making it more convenient than ever to find the level of challenge that?s right for you!

Everything that was wrong with the story. A part of me hopes they bring Cain back somehow.

Anything + Thunderfury = profit.
I would like to find a Thunderfury but given how close we are to the expansion it just would mean faster XP gain. That will happen anyways at 70th level. I want great legendary drops at 70th...
Has anyone found a good spot for XPing yet? Is ACT 3 king again, like it used to be before the changes to mob density? I run ACT 1, but I have the feeling that is not the best of areas.

Well if your gear sucks the thing to do seems to be running Mira on T6(act1 quest, blacksmith wife), takes like 2mins and gives a lot of xp and is fairly easy but boring as all fuck. If you're in a group/well geared, it seems to be either act1 cath4, act2 acqueducts or act3 keep 2-3. Not sure which is better I guess it might depend on people.
Also did this to level my barb but there's a very quick and easy way to solo level to 60(it works to powerlvl too). You go to act2 quest, the one before Lord of Lies where you have to save villagers from the meteors and shit at the end. Simply run around with as many speed buff and tanking stats you can, on torment 6 and save villagers but leave the cart near the entrance on the east side so it doesn't complete the quest. Do one round, drop them at sewers, then other round, go inside the sewers, open the chest(optional but guaranteed blue, nice for crafting mats) recall and relog, quest doesn't advance since it's a bonus and you get about 1/3 of a level per run which takes like 1min and a half or so. Can be done without any gear(might have to craft some vit shit midway though so you don't get one shot) and solo. I did this to finish my barb when I got there, was pretty fast, also got like 2million gold from lvl 46 to 60(I leveled the normal way until I got to that quest and was 46, you could get someone to start the quest for you though). Wouldn't do that shit for paragon though, unless you run it with someone else to make the runs twice as fast and only if your gear is absolute trash.

Mira on T6 in a full group is 16M per run I think after you take into consideration the trash you have to kill. Group of us did it for maybe 45 minutes on Saturday and I went from Paragon 45 to near 60.
She'll also drop 2 rares and everyone else in the group except me got at least 1 legendary in that time.

Servers are back up, and bang, Mira is nerfed. Just got 3 million for her solo on Torment VI.
It was good while it lasted.
Edit: No gold anymore, too. Also got 3 uncommons instead of rares/legendary, but that might just be shitty luck. Gonna try again just to be sure.

Thing is there's a bunch of these quick quests, there's a very old one in Arcanus like where you get into the village and the guards turn into snakes, shit's a bit slower than mira and there's no rare but iirc it was the same xp for the quest completion and there's more mobs(granted much harder mobs since it's those stealthing snakes bitches instead of shitty zombies).
The one thing I don't get is why they want to nerf content on any level. Why not allow us to make badass characters that destroy mobs/zones? I don't get the need for the "balance".

Well instead of Mira you can farm the hidden cellar that's in act1 a few steps before, exact same quest and seems to give prenerf rewards.
As for gear, anywhere works. I listed some places that people tend to farm when not doing quests, those are the places with the good density and shit. I think the Act2 acqueducts are really good cause they're easy to navigate and have a ton of chests and a lot of fairly weak mobs.
Select quest "The Legacy of Cain" (explore cellar)
Waypoint to The Old Ruins
Kill Captain Daltyn
Return to Leah for quest exp (same as mira)
Repeat

probably because everyone who did it claimed how utterly boring it was. Not a good experience for your players. If players are enjoying doing it, ok whatever. If they are doing it because they feel they have to and not enjoying themselves, its a good thing to nerf it both for the game and the player experience.

This!
Also, why do the bosses drop crap for loot. C'mon! They should drop the badass of the badass stuff. I've never understood Blizzards ideas on certain things.

At least a guaranteed rare ...
I have no idea why they don't give bonuses for completing a whole act or the whole game, I never did these powergaming tricks because getting +gooderer faster doesn't outweight being bored to death.

Haven't farmed at all but I have been having a ton of fun leveling 3 classes (WD dh and wiz) fresh on torment 2 with friends. We have been hitting 60 while still in act, and just finishing up story to get a little Kore gear.
I don't see the point of farming gear really or exp, new paragons are nice and figure they'll be faster after 100 at lvl 70.
