Level Cap increased to 70
= Every class gets new Skills and Runes.
= Which means a fresh economy and new power-cap as well.
New Artisan (Mystic)
= Can Transmogrify items, so you don't have to sacrifice looks for power.
= Item Enchanting - allows to reroll one of the affixes on a rare/legendary item.
Loot 2.0
= Smart Drop - chance that the affixes on items dropped will match the character you're playing.

Loot Runs
= 15-20 minutes Dungeons - these are completely random.
