Monster Scaling Changes
Intensity scaling has been moved into Torment Difficulties 1 - 4. Scaling has been adjusted to be more noticeable.
Additional Changes to Difficulty LevelsThe 8 new difficulty levels coming to Diablo 4.

Experience rewards from Whisper Caches and Helltide Chests now give more experience, scaling with difficulty level.

World Boss loot now scales with higher Torment tiers.

Magic and Rare items will be auto-salvaged in the Torment tiers. You won't even see them drop! Everything you find in Torment 1 - 4 will be Legendary, Unique, or Mythic.

Item drops do not get better in higher Torments. Once you reach Torment 1, everything can drop. Higher Torments just provide increased chances of finding the best loot sooner.

Comment by AlustrielThat is great! I was hoping that I could jump right into the previous Torment IV level (now Penitent) on my main. Thanks Blizz, I will look forward to the coming difficulties T1 - T4, as soon as I can open them up.

BTW: auto-salvage of rare and magic, awesome idea! I generally just left them on the ground and continued on, thanks again!
