Having not played in the beta at all, is it possible to start a brand new toon at Master level and be able to survive, or is Expert really where it should begin? I'm hoping to start fresh with a Crusader at launch and would love to be able to start at Master.
Started a new Barb in the PTR and once I started getting close to level 20, damage from rares and elites started to just melt me on Master, so I turned it down to hard until I got those first 2 legendaries/good rares. Then I turned it up to Expert again and it seems good so far. That's just my experience so far though.
Edit: Oh yeah, the main reason that it started happening around level 20 is because you can no longer out-level a difficulty. Monsters level up with you, so the challenge is always going to be there now.
I levelled a Wizard from 1-60 with all self-found / crafted gear on Master. It's tough, but it can be done. Just make sure you take full advantage of the Blacksmith. Craft craft craft!
Quoting for emphasis on crafting. Salvage everything, always check for gear holes, get good at kiting!
That's probably why I started having troubles, actually. I was only using items that dropped. I completely forgot that crafting can actually be worth it now! lol
