PTR 1.08 HC testing

I decided to copy over my hardcore characters to test some things on the PTR 1.08. I determined that even though my witch doctor is very good at farming MP1 Act 3, he'll most likely die trying to farm Act 2 MP1 after the changes. I love the new mob density but it's a whole new dynamic having enemies come at you from full 360 degrees. Most of Act 3 is linear. Start here, go there. Big Maps like desloate sands has enemies springing up at you from every angle. I'll need more testing for a better route.

Testing on my barbarians taught me some stuff. The obscure dungeons like Scavenger's den and a few random ones I ran are like gold mines. I enter, pop WoTB, start to whirlwind, and literally I don't stop whirlwinding until the dungeon ends. Wall to wall enemies. Just awesome.

Also, I discovered something awesome. I was able to beat Ubers on MP4 solo with my barbarian. I've been super scared to try without a solid group and now I discovered I can solo it! I know it's better as a team, but it ain't easy finding solid players ready to do it during my play time.
