As a part of today's Campfire Chat, the developers revealed that high-tier Nightmare Dungeon difficulty will be decreased as a part of a Hotfix that will be released later today. Patch 1.1.0 Campfire Chat Summary Diablo Campfire Chat on YouTube
The reality is that Nightmare Dungeons are dramatically over-tuned from where they actually need to be. Tier 100 Nightmare Dungeons are excruciatingly difficult for most Classes to actually be able to get through. Players are using Nightmare Dungeons as a way to level up their Glyphs, gain experience, and find loot. One thing that we plan on doing is we're going to make a reduction in the difficulty of some aspects of Nightmare Dungeons to retune some things.Associate Game Director, Joseph Piepiora, went on to say that Nightmare Dungeon difficulty will be scaled down so that, in the future, a Tier 100 Nightmare Dungeon would be about as difficult as a Tier 70 Nightmare Dungeon is today.
