(Like this huge gallery we posted, or this peek at the godly gear the Bliz devs were using.) Early on in the beta there were affixes that got removed (Crushing Blow) and values that were very different (1H weapon damage over 3500). That’s why they call it a “test.” But if you’re going to compare gear, do it with items found near the end of the beta. Anyone can look at screenshots of high level legendary items from the beta and compare them to current gear, but that’s deceptive in several ways.Įarly beta weapon damage was much enormous.ġ) Gear changed a lot during the beta. Players who were not in the Reaper of Souls beta often ask how gear upgrades work, in a practical sense. And don’t forget that the Mystic awaits, to easily turn all those 5/10 quality “vendor trash” rares into 8/10 quality “wear them with pride” loots.Ĭlick through for the full article, covering every aspect of your transition into Reaper of Souls. And you’ll be too busy enjoying Act Five, and then powering through Bounties and Rifts, to worry that much about your gear, which will almost seem to upgrade itself thanks to the Loot 2.0 drop rates. You’ll have found upgrades for almost every slot by lvl 70, but the sight of your first few good Rares won’t be so shocking, and your Loot 2.0-geared lvl 60 characters won’t have the wildly sub-standard toughness we all had to deal with when first beginning the beta. Now that most of you guys are geared in Loot 2.0 equipment, you won’t be so effortlessly picking up hundreds of stat points. Back then almost every good rare and legendary you found from lvl 61+ was a big upgrade on DPS and toughness, thanks to the +300-500 mainstat and vitality that was so readily available. In a way, the transition for us all in the live Reaper of Souls will be less abrupt and shocking than it was back during the beta, since at that point we were importing lvl 60 characters from Diablo 3 vanilla, pre-Loot 2.0. We can’t exactly answer all of those questions since things have (probably/certainly) been changed in development since the Beta test ended, but we can give some pretty good predictions based on extensive Reaper of Souls beta testing.
