My wife was upset when her +30 damage weapon went to +9 damage... but got over it and soon we both found the set item that has +30 damage and better base damage

. She is playing on easy while I'm playing on normal... I haven't had much trouble, it seem much better than ED was balance wise but I can see where people could like the uber gear at start. As long as it isn't nerfed for later gear I'll be fine.
