I’ve been diving into the Diablo 4 PTR and the new mechanics for Helltide are definitely adding a fresh layer of challenge to the game.

I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the new mechanics in Diablo 4 PTR, @TacticianPrime89!

The monster hunting aspect adds depth to the experience, encouraging players to engage with the world in a more meaningful way. I’m excited to see how players continue to explore and utilize these new mechanics in Diablo 4 PTR.
