I'm currently about four or five hours into
Reaper of Souls content. To give some background, I love playing Diablo
III but I"m nowhere close to a hardcore player. I finished through the
game once with a Barbarian previously. Before that, I had played
through Diablo and Diablo II perhaps three or four times each.
So
I'm not going to be able to tell you how the changes in Reaper of Souls
will modify the way a level 70 character farms but I can tell you how
it effects someone who has a few hours after work to play an action
RPG. It is awesome.
The changes to the loot system are
welcome and can be taken advantage of even without the Reaper of Souls
expansion. Basically, you get less loot but the items that do drop are
more pertinent to your character. While playing through the first act,
my Crusader was able to use all of the yellows that dropped and almost
all of the blues as well. You still get lots of extra items to sell or
salvage of course.

The second biggest change I've had some
stick time with is the new class. The Crusader is a blast to play. I
like my Diablo characters simple and almost always play a tank of some
sort. The first act skills I've unlocked for the Crusader seem to allow
for killing groups of mobs easily as well as targeting specific larger
monsters when needed.
One of the more frustrating types of
mob is the one that runs away. Little creatures that skirt the edge of
your range but can be killed with a single blow can feel like chasing
mercury. The Crusader has a number of skills that extend your
character's range. So wiping up the skirters becomes much easier.
I
of course recommend the expansion for any Diablo III players but if
you're new to Diablo III or if you've been sitting on the fence, now is
the time to get into the game.
