Everything You Need To Know to Start Season 5 - Featuring DonTheCrown and Rob2628
With Season 5's release only a few short hours away, the hype for the Season of the Infernal Hordes is real.
Last week, we finally received the Season 5 Patch Notes, giving us the long-awaited and teased Unique reworks. With this information came a significant change to how experience is gained going forward. Higher-level enemies will now reward more experience once killed, meaning if you challenge yourself to take out stronger enemies than yourself, you're thoroughly rewarded.
Experience Increased for Killing Higher Level Monsters
With such a drastic change, the content creators in our community got to work theorycrafting on — you guessed it — the best leveling builds and most optimized leveling strategies for Season 5.
