Rhykker how to make diablo 4 mmo12/24/2023 ![]() It allowed players to build specialized setups to do specific endgame activities - Uber runs, or Cow runs, or AT runs, or Pit runs, or any other targeted area - and because beating Hell was actually attainable for most players/builds, there wasn’t the same constant battle between the classes for who “gets into the meta” or who isn’t balanced because they can clear a higher GR than someone else.
