Diablo 3: Seasonal Demon Hunter Tips for Casual Players

Diablo 3: Season 2 Best Class Thoughts

Diablo 3: Patch 2.1.2 Experience, Gearing and Farming Ideas

Diablo 3: Ancient Items or No Ancient Items?
A controversial feature in the upcoming 2.1.2 patch is Ancient Items. Ancient Items provide approximately 30% improved stats.

One of the talks I was looking forward to the most at BlizzCon 2014 was the preview of the upcoming patch 2.1.2 changes.
