I was late coming to this season, but decided to roll a hardcore wizard (I only play hardcore) and see how it went. Knew I wanted to build into DMO this go around and I have to say the way the smart loot system works is simultaneously very rewarding and frustrating.
It feels like it'll help you build towards specific playstyles based on what skills you have equipped and gear you already have so at regular intervals you feel like you're making progress towards the build of choice. Then, when it comes to finding those few last pieces or rolling higher on things, it just completely cockblocks you with RNG.
Still, in just a few days I'm rolling in T10 and it just feels so comfortable with time bubbles everywhere and massive arcane coated blobs of mobs being obliterated.
