I think that the difficulty levels have matured a lot. There’s many reasons to back track.
Hordes I do at about Torment 2. Can do 3 but at 2 I can get Bartuc consistently. And I slaughter Torment 3. I also do an alright Torment 4, with some exception because I’m vulnerable and may get one shot at times.
The chaos armor is pretty cool but it is annoying that certain slots get filled, or all of them potentially. It disturbs the gameplay and the planning, in my opinion, and I will be happy to see the season end even though I think it has been a good season.
I think that Diablo 4 is growing into the game I want to play.
