You may already be fuming because you’re a “difficult to master” type of person, but before you run to the forums, we have you covered. In the Gameplay options, we’ve added an ‘Elective Mode’ for the skill system. With this checkbox ticked you’ll be able to place any skill in any skill slot, as freely as you could before. The Elective Mode option is available at any time with no requirements or need to unlock it. We hope the new, more guided interface will give you an in-game heads up as to the intent of each skill -- and maybe even be the way you play through the game in Normal -- but if you eventually have a build that simply can’t be accomplished the way we’ve laid things out, you’re free to pop on Elective Mode and take the skills you want.
I found the first 5 quests or so to be overly easy, almost laughable in fact. The Wretched Queen for example died in 2 hits from my Witch Doctor's poison dart. This is a far cry from the difficulty of the den of evil and Bloodraven in D2. Does the game get noticeably more difficult later on? Or will it perhaps be more difficult after release?
