The stats on gear from the Reaper of Souls beta test was hard for many fans to quantify, since it had such bigger numbers but came out of context. I looked over the gear on the Demon Hunter that John Yang played in the game with me, then after our session I got nosy and poked through all the gear on all the other characters on the STREAM account, and took screenshots of all their build and general info screens, plus individual screens of all the items they had equipped. Even so, these special characters had higher DPS than almost any player characters in the beta, thanks to their full sets of ultra rare drops. The gear isn’t especially optimized hardly any of it has been enchanted and it’s all kind of a grab bag of awesome parts that don’t quite fit together.
So what gear did they pick? A few rares, a few uber Legendaries, and lots of special new RoS-only Item Sets. The gear had to be good, since the devs were answering questions the whole time they played and didn’t want to die like a noob through inattention to the action. The STREAM account.The devs weren’t playing on their private accounts for the fan play sessions they had a special account (called STREAM, with no battletag) created on the RoS beta server, which was stocked with five lvl 70 characters, all of them well kitted out in gear generated just for these play sessions. It also yielded an opportunity to eyeball the gear on his character, and all the other characters on the account, via the Inspect feature.
I took part in one with DH/Barb dev John Yang, which yielded excellent info about a variety of topics. During the last week of the Reaper of Souls beta test, the game’s developers joined fans in several live stream play sessions.
