Rob2628 Shares Diablo 4 Season 5 PTR Feedback
Diablo Content Creator, Rob2628, has recently stepped forward to talk about the state of Diablo 4's fifth Season based on the gameplay and available information from the Public Test Realm. In addition to writing a summary of his feedback, Rob has also posted a video going over his thoughts in greater detail.
While some changes coming in Season 5 are quite welcome additions such as the many new Uniques and new Legendary Aspects, and improvements to UI with the new Floating Combat Text toggles or new Mythic Unique color scheme, there are many contentious design decisions that both Rob and Diablo community have taken notice of.
Rob2628 has gone into great detail with several topics, including the PTR itself and how the playerbase engages with the content available for testing, the new Infernal Hordes Endgame content, general gameplay changes, quality of life, Class balancing though adjusting scaling Damage Multipliers such as Blood Rage or Hemorrhage and of course — Barbarians! Below are excerpts of Rob's feedback for Blizzard.

- Make it easier to skip the low tiers/levels if you are powerful (maybe even skip entire
