Torchlight 2 Release Date set

[MonTy]

From rerolling a few times, I can say that Elite difficulty at least early going is vastly determined by your loot luck. Also, Elite + Melee is hard, probably overtuned.

Ahh right, Mr. Hardcore. Keep us posted on your efforts. I've died once on elite with my lvl 14 engineer but only when talking to an npc and getting surrounded by tiny spiders that came out of nowhere. Super lame.

Once you sink your teeth into the game more I'd also be interested in hearing your thoughts from hardcore perspective. Some of the early unique/set items are incredibly powerful, so as you say, I'd imagine your experience to vary greatly depending on luck.
