Reaper of Souls Mega FAQ/Help Thread

Since RoS is coming out soon and people have lots of questions I figured that a mix of FAQ/our weekly help thread will hopefully eliminate a lot of the same type of questions popping up.

How this will work is you ask your question in the comment section and users will answer it. Then i'll post the question, or a paraphrase of it here and link to it in the comment section and you can see that specific question and the thread that follows it, so you don't have to scroll through every thread in this post.

Remember this is for RoS stuff only, so please relate the questions to it, we will be removing anything not RoS related. Limit of 1 Question per comment, don't be afraid to write multiple comments if you have multiple questions.
