People hate the Soul Eaters, but (and keep in mind I play a Soul Bender, ENTIRELY dependent on my buffs for any kind of decent damage/survival) I love the melee-centric dungeon setup. The lava is a nice hazard that is punishing but avoidable, the monsters are strong but not unbeatable (though Atlas's net spam is obnoxious, and getting stunned by Titan can easily get you killed), and the idea of the 3 titans is fun. About the only thing I don't like are the burning fiends, simply because they have an unavoidable damage aura. Catacombs was a blast though, and a brilliant wakeup call to a lot of the less competent players.
I thought Sky Tower (especially Vestibule of Darkness and Castellan's Chamber) and all of GBL (Arad Branch/Lab/Hatchery) were wakeup calls to the less competent players.
Well that's not to say that Sky Tower and the 3 GBL bosses are hard after figuring out their patterns (as well as hit and runs). I stopped dying to Hydracle the next day after dying at least 1-2 times a run, and I never died to Vangelis yet. He's pot intensive MP-wise, but never died to him. My only gripe is Hughton has too much HP to ever concentrate on him, and his summons have too much HP to take down; I'm going to solo him on King's tonight.
