Unless I've read it wrongly, TP now uses energy, so the major costraint for Keg Smash will be resource depletion rather than cooldown, but I see how it can occasionally lead to an orgy of AE dps.
I honestly did tannan at sub 600 ilevel its a bit ouchy but not to bad. If you can fly the easiest thing to do is zoom around looking for silver named mobs that are actively engaged and just tap them. You will get gear pretty fast from that. Next simply zoom around treasure picking you will pick up a lot of equipment tokens that route and you would get to 630 ilevel very rapidly just doing that. Time walking dungeons if one is active when you start playing this guy can get you some pretty fast gear upgrades and are pretty forgiving of you not being maxed out item level wise since everybody gets downleveled.
I think the major differences is going to wind up being the dreadstalker spell combined with hordes of summoned imps and using your demonic empowerment thing correctly. It looks like they are really shifting even more of a demos damage into their minions. The talents look pretty interesting but we will have to see how it works in practice before I will say its a good change or a bad one.
Stagger brew looks overpowered as fuck, too. 60% Stagger was retarded in BRF and now we get 71% Stagger. 3 charges and 20 sec recharge with KS and TP helping recharge it meaning it's going to be up 100% of the time you're tanking a boss you have to taunt swap every 30 seconds.
Agree that the stuff they took away only to reintroduce is fucking lame, but abilities are all over the map so I'm reserving judgment until the inevitable 'refinements' come.
Right, it's all datamined shit. Just doesn't grab me from the initial "preview" but we'll see how the beta goes. Or rather, I'll watch videos of other people playing it since I always get fucked.
