I hope so! I would definitely prefer if I can just tackle at least pit 101 and tormented bosses with a homebrew build that isn’t complete trash and has invested / maxed gear.
I’m fine with not being a competitive put pusher or whatever. Just want to clear the bottom level endgame stuff with relative efficiency and not be stuck at pit 50 because I want to play my way.
Exactly
Thats where I’m aiming
It may be a tough thing to do, but also doesn’t seem like much effort is being put into making the ptr a real test… small sample size, a lot of the new stuff hard to test or no access, and one week is kinda short term to get reliable data, that is if it’s not shut down for maintenance… a lot more effort needs to go into ptr to get reliable and accurate data to make meaningful positive changes… seems ptr is alpha, then goes live with beta…
Yeah these ultra hardcores need to go get humbled in oldschool runescape theatre of blood or something. 
I love this! Made me laugh 
I had to switch to those when I went on keto. Sugar free Long Drink and Sunny D seltzers are my goto now.
100% agree.
Making these pit bosses playable allows so many non-meta builds to run pits.
This is a very good change to the game.
Well looking at the early tier list my main builds all seem to have relegated to junk status. Granted with all the changes the list is pretty much a pure guess at this point.

I’m optimistic though!
I’m looking forward to the Skins and what they’ll have in the shop…
sighs I swear I hope they aren’t Dirt (bleeping) Ugly…
We are no longer the knights who say Nay, We are now the knights who say Ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing!
Knights? What Knights? Y’all aren’t in the game yet. 
Which I don’t like. Instead of making the challenges weaker, why not make the challenger stronger?
If we make the enemy all with 1hp, it’s gonna make even the dumbest build viable.
Are they making the challenges weaker because they admit there’s a bad design decision like someone makes a puzzle but there’s no way to solve it? Or are they making the challenges weaker because the majority of players are dumb and can’t even solve a tictactoe?
Thats not my expectation. My expectation of “play your way” is that all skills feel good to play. Taking any skill and making an equally good build to another should result in being within say 10 pit levels of each other.
There will always be meta builds. I dont expect perfection. I do expect a reasonable closeness.
“Play your way” also doesnt just mean whatever build to me. It also means do the content you enjoy doing and not being forced into specific content. I mean its not quite that way and it would be kinda corny if you could just do like helltides for everything so what they have is acceptable to me. Like pit for materials and whispers for gold etc. I would like them to give you amounts in other ways. Like give me decent gold in dungeons and stuff. Give me smaller amounts of materials elsewhere. Give me smaller amounts of glyph xp elsewhere etc.
Your expectations may not be that way but plenty of people have expressed that as how they interpret play your way.
The difficult thing with that though is if all skills were equally as good it wouldn’t be hard for theory crafters to manipulate it to make a build that was way way beyond everything else which would then force everyone to do the same to keep up.
For example take the old whirlwind HOTA build. The WW damage sucked but the purpose of it was utility to power fury generation and overpower for HOTA. But if whirlwind was equal to HOTA then that build would have be beyond insane.
But yea I get what you’re saying and I wish it were that way too. Just acknowledging the difficulty in doing it while still making skills feel unique and not just carbon copies of each other so they can more easily fit in any build.
idk guys what r u even discussing, cuz 30 pit levels for example mean that one build is stronger than another 10 times or even more. It should be unacceptable.
There is no play your way with such balance. And mostly important as i mentioned before there will be no play your way with scaling systems.
Looks promising unless you main a thorns barb XD.
