Terror Zones pre-Hell difficulty

What is the point of terror zones in Normal and Nightmare? I tested them on a fresh character in PTR from level 1, but I realize now at release you must defeat baal in the corresponding difficulty.

I guess going back to farm areas before proceeding to the next difficulty, right? I was actually under the impression this would be a fun challenge you may encounter during the leveling experience increasing the difficulty of a play-through. Anyways, I understand now, but just thought the normal / nightmare options might be fun to enable without requiring baal?

I tried on normal and it was pretty much poitnless because if you have lowe level, its better to just do baalruns.

Terror Zones in Nightmare are going to be worth it for early farming/character development. Normal Terror Zones aren’t worth it for the most part versus normal Baal runs, because they can only go up to level 45 for trash monsters, 47 for champs and 48 for uniques, where as the throneroom waves are between low 40’s to the upper 50’s and Baal himself is level 60 in normal.
