I was finally able to get onto the PTR for a few minutes to play around with monster difficulty. Set it to 4 and went to act 3 to see how much of a difference it made. It was easily doable, but the increase in health on the enemies was definitely noticeable. For my present WD I think 4 or 5 is going to be as high as I go until I can get some more damage.
During my short time testing I came across my first Key-Boss which was very fun! Nothing like finding a Ice Morlu Caster that drops frozen orbs and icy grasp of the dead (complete with Rain of Corpses).
But of all the things I noticed while playing the biggest unannounced change was that the fireball animation on the Winged Moloks are now totally visible. About time! Now if only they will fix the targeting mouse-over for the oil vats on the keep walls so that they don't take up half the screen and my two biggest sources of annoyance deaths in this act will be rectified.
