The PTR could use improvement.
Itemization for the uniques. This is being looked at. The new uniques should have been available through a vendor.
Balance of classes. It seems that the approach is not the best.
-Step 1 was to set a benchmark. Such as all builds can kill pit 100 boss in 2 minutes.
-Step 2 Test 5 or 6 builds against the benchmark for each class.
-Step 3 Adjust the skill. If a specific build kills the boss in 10 seconds nerf the skill and if a build takes 5 minutes to kill the boss buff the skill.
-Step 4 repeat steps 2 & 3 until builds meet the benchmark.
**Note: nerfing/buffing universal skills (crit, op, vuln, cdr) should be a last resort as they effect everything and can have unintentional results.
Worst PTR in history. That is an exaggeration. The point of the PTR is to find bugs and feedback with possible solutions to problems. This was accomplished and they got a lot of data.
