I'm playing a Rogue/Ranger combination, and not having magical healing does change the dynamic quite a bit. I'm using potions now, as well as sometimes crafting food items.
It also means that I have natural access to the Resurrect spell via Way of the Ranger. Funny enough, I've actually used that a couple times to kill party members who were low on health and revive them to save a potion.
I don't like this changes!
Slower Level Up means not so many points for character changing.
No, you get the same number of points, it just takes a bit longer. Right now, you level up way too fast - level 3 after 3 fights, for example.
More difficulty? Hmm, as I heard, there was an "easy fights" button in the final version, so this is not important for me, I hope.
That was at the very end of the September 27 Twitch TV Q&A stream, and I think that was a joke. The good news is that combat is not fast-paced so there's time to consider moves.
