Can we have gear appearance customization? Like the glorious plate looks very... unglorious. Look like a wizard armour. Can't stand looking at it on a marauder. Skin swaps!

I'll definitely keep leveling my elemental cleave build up for that new effect. I'm pretty sure the default cleave name from now on will be 'The Bad Touch'.
That being said, the one thing I really, really want to know is if/how map rewards are changing. I'm at the point where several times I've spent days running all my 66=67's, then run all the 68's, then used a pile of alchemist's orbs on every 69-70 I had... only to go on streaks of 5-8 maps without seeing a single even-level-or-better map drop, and by halfway through the evening be back on 66's. In general, 68+ I spend more on the maps than I get out of them, and it's always frustrating and depressing to watch map drops just disappear the moment I start 69+. That's a LOOOONG way from 77. Hopefully something can be done to make maps feel more rewarding and less like I have to farm trivial content endlessly for half a second of decently interesting gameplay. |

" punch. punch? facebreaker! but yeah, it's my the impression from the video. and sadly you can't test mt on alpha. can imagine the scaling is kind of difficult to sync with attack speed. another point: i liked the blood trail i saw which followed the hand alot and could imagine this effect, maybe a bit stronger drawn, would be nice as another mt. of course it's not as cool as the demon hand :) but i'm personally more into small and subtle but impressive effects. offline

" Yeah, I just levelled an alt (ranger) to run lvl 66-67 maps, as they gave my lvl 82 witch almost no XP and pose no challenge. I did all my 68+ maps (investing alchemy orbs and chisels) and run out of them. There should be a bit more chance of getting maps one-two leveles higher than the map one is currently doing. If not, Piety-running is the way to go, which would be sad, boring and remind me of Diablo 3. Millions of dollars of investment, countless hours of development, and in the final product is most efficient to farm 3 locations out of hundreds of environments and locations on the lowest difficulty setting. That just broke that game for me, made it an abomination in comparison to its great predecessor - D2.

Very tasty patch, btw that Claw Effect reminds me of "Black & White" PC game when You turned out to be evil your hand (cursor) became just as creepy as this one ;)
