I think a review of the available affixes might be worthwhile.
Particularly the + Skills affixes available, as there was never really a systematic addition for Druids and Assassins, and with the addition of Auric Shields, Pelts, and Assault Helms, some of the +skills affixes available don’t make sense anymore. (IE Shields have + Paladin Skills, but a Paladin will always prefer an Auric Shield).
Current +Skill affixes
Axes: Barbarian, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb)
Bows: Amazon, Bows and Crossbows (Amazon)
Clubs: Druid, Elemental (Druid), Shapeshifting (Druid), Summoning (Druid), Barbarian, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb)
Crossbows: Amazon, Bows and Crossbows (Amazon)
Daggers: Necromancer, Poison and Bone (Necro), Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb)
Hammers: Paladin, Barbarian, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb)
Javelins: Amazon, Spear and Javelin (Amazon), Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb).
Maces: Paladin, Combat Skills (Paladin), Offensive Auras (Paladin), Barbarian, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb).
Polearms: Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb).
Spears: Amazon, Spear and Javelin (Amazon), Barbarian, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb).
Swords: Paladin, Combat Skills (Paladin), Offensive Auras (Paladin), Barbarian, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb).
Throwing Axes: Barbarian, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb)
Throwing Knives: Necromancer, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb)
Amulets: All Classes and all Skill Subtrees.
Circlets: All Classes and all Skill Subtrees.
Helmets: Combat Skills (Barb), Shadow Disciplines (Assassin)
Gloves: Passive (Amazon), Bow (Amazon), Spear and Javelin (Amazon), Martial Arts (Assassin)
Shields: Paladin, Combat Skills (Paladin), Offensive Auras (Paladin), Defensive Auras (Paladin)
Looking at this it becomes obvious that Druids and Assassins (particularly Trap Assassins) lack items that can get +skills. That the +skill affix on Bows, Crossbows, and Shields are completely obsoleted by the class specific Amazon Bows and Auric Shields. That Polearms are surprising lacking in skill affixes. That the Combat Skills (Barb) affix on Helms are obsoleted by Barb specific helms.
Based on this I want to propose some radical changes to what skill affixes are available (additions in italics, subtractions in strikethrough):
Suggested +Skill Affixes
Axes: Barbarian, Combat Skills (Barb), Masteries (Barb), Warcries (Barb), Shapeshifting (Druid)
Bows: Amazon, Bows and Crossbows (Amazon), Druid, Elemental (Druid), Shapeshifting (Druid), Summoning (Druid), add staff mods for Druid skills.

Amulets : All Classes and all Skill Subtrees.
Circlets : All Classes and all Skill Subtrees.
Helmets : Combat Skills (Barb) , Shadow Disciplines (Assassin), Defensive Auras (Paladin) , Offensive Auras (Paladin) , Curses (Necro)
Gloves : Passive (Amazon), Bow (Amazon), Spear and Javelin (Amazon), Martial Arts (Assassin), Traps (Assassin)
Shields : Paladin, Combat Skills (Paladin), Offensive Auras (Paladin), Defensive Auras (Paladin) Amazon , Passive (Amazon) , Spear and Javelin (Amazon) , Barbarian , Combat Skills (Barbarian) , Druid , Martial Arts (Assassin) .
Boots: Passive (Amazon), Masteries (Barb), Martial Arts (Assassin), Shadow Disciplines (Assassin)
Belts: Defensive Auras (Paladin), Shapeshifting (Druid), Summoning (Druid), Traps (Assassin)
Basically, I’m repurposing normal Bows for Druids (fits Druid fantasy and gives bows a purpose), and Crossbows/Daggers for Assassins (again fits Assassin fantasy and gives crossbows a purpose). However, one additional thing is needed for this, allow Fists of Fire, Claws of Thunder, and Blades of Ice to work with daggers and throwing knives. This all fits the fantasy. Claws will still be superior options for Assassins because of Claw Mastery and Weapon Block, plus double the staff mods. However, it will allow for alternative Assassin builds. Daggers and Throwing Knives fit extremely well with the Martial Arts Assassin fantasy, while Crossbows fit very well with the Trap Assassin fantasy.
I also rationalized a few of the other mods, while adding several Druid weapon options. Another change I’d suggest is allowing Poison Dagger to work with Throwing Knives. Throwing Knives are considered a subclass of Daggers, so it fits the fantasy, and would give Necromancers a reason to possibly use Poison Dagger.
Shifted shield affixes to support the combat classes that might use shields (other than Paladins who are using Auric Shields). Primarily a Javazon, or a Barbarian, but also possibly a Martial Arts Assassin or a Druid. Shifted Helm affixes to a Paladin (but not Combat skills that would be too powerful). Added Boots (flavorful for Assassins, as well as Barbarin Masteries and Amazon Passive), and Belts (flavorful for Trap Assassins).
Another set of affixes to consider changing are the Chance to Cast suffixes which are often not very useful. First off, do CtoC on Attack work with throwing weapons? They don’t on Missile weapons (so they can’t spawn on bows), but they do spawn on throwing weapons. That seems like it might be an inconsistency. If on Attack works with Throwing weapons then we can leave them using melee affixes, but if not then Throwing Weapons should have the affixes of Missile Weapons instead of melee weapons.

15% Chance to Cast Level 15 Chain Lightning, lvl 52 req, ilvl 58
Since this is for melee weapons changed Fire Bolt to Fire Ball and Ice Bolt to Frost Nova so these chance to cast can give a little area of effect damage. Level 21 Nova, Fire Ball, and Lightning are all roughly around 200 damage unsynergized, Level 21 Frost Nova is less than half that. Made consistently “on Striking” so that these AoE CtoC will work with Blade Fury, while changing Amp Damage and leaving Chain Lightning with “on Attack” so that they won’t work with Blade Fury (that seemed a little too powerful in combination with claw staff mods).

Changed most effects to be more defense oriented, leaving only Charged Bolt as a damage dealing effect, but leveled so that higher levels have a greater chance of putting enemies in hit recovery. Energy Shield and Cold Armors being the replacements. Added thematic warcries as other effects. Because of power and duration of Battle Cry it doesn’t work well as an on Struck effect but would be balanced if you made it work on block.

Jewelry has now been changed to more esoteric effects. Rings have effects that are not overpowered to stack.
With these changes Chance to Cast effects ought to be actually useful, though mostly as a slight benefit as you’d need a really quirky build to make it powerful.
Another set of affixes to consider are charges. Charges have a lot of issues. They seem to be distributed without reason, Teeth on a sword? They do not scale well. But most of all the charges available often are not the charges people would want.
Charges that have value
There are some spells/abilities that have a lot of value as charges, some that can be useful in specific circumstances, while others are just no use.
Very Valuable:
Teleport, Frozen Armor, Glacial Spike
Slow Missile
Corpse Explosion, Amplify Damage, Decrepify, Lower Resistance, Life Tap
Holy Shield
Find Item, Leap
Dragon Flight, Fade, Burst of Speed, Mind Blast, Death Sentry
Potentially Valuable:
Enchant, Blaze, Energy Shield, Thunder Storm, Static Field, Chain Lightning, Shiver Armor, Chilling Armor, Ice Blast, Fire Ball, Frost Nova, Blizzard, Frozen Orb
Inner Sight, Decoy, Valkeryie, Impale, Fend, Poison Javelin, Plague Javelin, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Fury, Charged Strike, Lightning Strike, Multiple Shot, Strafe, Freezing Arrow, Exploding Arrow, Immolation Arrow, Guided Arrow
Poison Nova, Iron Golem, Clay Golem, Bone Armor, Bone Wall, Bone Prison, Confuse, Weaken, Iron Maiden, Attract, Dim Vision
Zeal, Sacrifice, Smite, Vengeance, Conversion, Charge, Fist of the Heavens
Leap Attack, Battle Cry, Shout, Howl, Battle Orders, Battle Command, Taunt, Grim Ward, Berserk, Frenzy (on Claws)
Cyclone Armor, Twister, Hurricane, Summon Grizzly, Maul
Venom, Shadow Warrior, Tiger Strike
Anything not on that list does not have value as a charge. Yet most of the charge affixes are for things not on the list, and for those charges that are on the list most of them are not of a level that they can be useful.
Suggested Changes to Weapon charges Affixes

It looks to me like the levels and number of charges used are currently organized into ranks with only the skill being different. This is a problem, skills need to have different level of the skill depending on the skill. For example, in the numbers used above, I choose Enchant, Zeal, Vengeance, and Sacrifice levels taking into account the amount of Attack Rating they add (damage was also considered). However, the number of charges can probably be left in the various ranks. Removed the useless skills and added some useful Warcries that fit the flavor of an axe wielder.

Level 24 Cyclone Armor (60/60), lvl 36 req, ilvl 36
Seems to me like the team that did the charges for Daggers was different from the team for other melee weapons. Anyway, I suppose the dagger can fit as having more types of charges since it has relation to spellcasting as well as combat. A point here is that things like level 18 Poison Nova, and Level 12 Blizzard are not overpowered on charges because they are unsynergized and do not benefit from +Skills. The point is for these charges to be useful, not useless.

Level 12 Confuse (11/11), lvl 28 req, ilvl 28
Gave Polearms Lightning type charges. Since they can act like a lightning rod. Also want to be careful not to overpower static field. Limiting it to Polearms ought to leave it as powerful but on builds that don’t have other sources of AoE damage. (Sure, you could use it on a Druid Caster, or a Trap Assassin, but that means giving up a Spirit Shield). Also gave Charge and Leap Attack charges as they fit Polearm type weapons.

Treating Clubs sort of like the Druid’s wand equivalent, so gave it some elemental spells from the Sorceress, as well as some curses from the Necromancer that will help both Elementalist and Summoner Druids.

Gave Hammers a bit of Mjolnir flavor with Fist of the Heavens and Valkyrie. I would have liked to use Blessed Hammer for flavor, but without synergies Blessed Hammer just isn’t worth using as charges.

Removed most of the Necromancer charges from wands because you already have access as a Necromancer to them. Left a few that could be valuable enough to another character type to consider using a wand (ie Lower Resist). Mostly gave wands charges that stereotypically you would put on a wand (ie Scorceress Spells) but could also be useful for Necromancer.

Lowered ilvl needed to get Lower Resist on a Staff. Picked level 6 for Lower Resist because it makes it more useful but without increasing the number of immunities it can break, probably most attractive for a Hybrid Fire/Lightning build. Since a staff can be a viable melee weapon included some of those effects. Also added Armageddon and Fissure which are usually useless as an unsynergized charge, but for a Sorceress with Fire Mastery might actually be decent. Left Teleport charges on Staves unchanged.

Level 24 Hurricane (120/120) lvl 60 req, ilvl 60
Charges on Orbs suffer from the fact that all of them are native to the Sorceress, which means there is no point in using them. Therefor removed all of those and replaced with only non-Sorceress skill charges. Gave Summon Spirit/Dire Wolves instead of Grizzly because they are not as powerful but can still serve as meat shields for a Sorceress.

Instead of giving all spear skills to javelins, makes sense to give mostly Javelin skills with only a few spear skills thrown in. Hopefully Shadow Warrior works correctly, might not in which case would need to be replaced with something of a similar level.

Suggested Changes to Armor and Jewelry charges affixes
Headgear
Helmet:
Current: None
Change To:
Level 24 Inner Sight (52/52), lvl 24 req, ilvl 24
Level 12 Confuse (11/11), lvl 28 req, ilvl 28
Level 24 Dim Vision (60/60), lvl 36 req, ilvl 36
Level 11 Mind Blast (27/27), lvl 48 req, ilvl 48
Level 6 Shout (35/35), lvl 14 req, ilvl 14
Adding charges where they are not already, I know. But I felt that certain charges were headgear appropriate, but I didn’t want to put them on Circlets because Circlets already have reason to use over normal helmets. Mind Blast is the big attraction here, but any of these charges ought to be useful to a combat class.
Circlets:
Current:
Level 2 Tornado (25/25), lvl 60 req, ilvl 60
Level 3 Twister (27/27), lvl 48 req, ilvl 48
Level 5 Holy Bolt (32/32, lvl 24 req, ilvl 24

Level 6 Fire Bolt (35/35), lvl 16 req, ilvl 14
Level 6 Inner Sight (52/52), lvl 16 req, ilvl 18
Change To:
Level 24 Inner Sight (52/52), lvl 24 req, ilvl 24
Level 12 Confuse (11/11), lvl 28 req, ilvl 28
Level 11 Attract (60/60), lvl 36 req, ilvl 36
Level 6 Teleport (52/52), lvl 24 req, ilvl 24
Level 26 Chain Lightning (80/80), lvl 48 req, ilvl 48
What were the devs thinking? Level 1 Bone Spirit available at level 72? For what reason would I ever use that? Frankly just removing the useless charges and leaving only Teleport would great improve things. However, lets go ahead and add a few other things. Also increased the number of teleport charges to match that on staves. Why not? It’s still far less powerful than Enigma.
Primal Helms:
Current:
Level 5 Grim Ward (97/97), lvl 24 req, ilvl 30
Level 6 Concentrate (105/105), lvl 25 req, ilvl 24
Level 7 Stun (112/112), lvl 25 req, ilvl 18
Level 10 Bash (135/135), lvl 3 req, ilvl 7
Change To:
Level 24 Inner Sight (52/52), lvl 24 req, ilvl 24
Level 12 Confuse (11/11), lvl 28 req, ilvl 28
Level 24 Bone Armor (60/60), lvl 36 req, ilvl 36
Level 1 Corpse Explosion (27/27), lvl 48 req, ilvl 48
Level 6 Lower Resist (80/80), lvl 48 req, ilvl 48
One of the nice things about Primal Helms is that they can only be worn by Barbarians. Adding Lower Resist charges on a helmet would usually be overpowered, but on the Barbarian it’s very limited in use. Would particularly help the Berserker if Magic Resistance was added back to Lower Resist. Corpse Explosion can help a Barbarian with getting AofE, but with limited number of charges he won’t be spamming it.
Pelts:
Current:
None
Change To:
Level 24 Inner Sight (52/52), lvl 24 req, ilvl 24
Level 1 Amplify Damage (11/11), lvl 28 req, ilvl 28
Level 1 Decrepify (27/27), lvl 48 req, ilvl 48
Level 4 Grim Ward (60/60), lvl 36 req, ilvl 36
Level 16 Cloak of Shadows (60/60), lvl 36 req, ilvl 36
Level 6 Teleport (52/52), lvl 24 req, ilvl 24
Amp Damage and Decrepify, very desirable charges. But limited to Druid by only being on the Pelts, and Shapeshifters cannot use the charges. So only the Wind Druid, the Summoner Druid, and to a very limited extent the Fire Druid benefit (but it means forgoing Flickering Flame, so Fire Druids probably won’t use it). With the number of charges being so low they are not going to be used all the time either. They will only be used against particularly difficult opponents, meaning bosses and other Physical Resistant monsters with lots of life. Rather than being a bad thing, isn’t this good? It helps the underpowered builds get better without helping the overpowered builds.
Gloves:
Current:
Level 1 Poison Nova (22/22), lvl 30 req, ilvl 72

Level 21 Guided Arrow (60/60), lvl 68 req, ilvl 68
Level 24 Maul (60/60), lvl 36 req, ilvl 36
Level 2 Lightning Strike Charges at req. level 82? Madness. Anyway, removed the useless charges, and buffed the few that are possibly worthwhile to viability, but not as high a level as what I have on the weapons themselves. Added Maul, since Beast grants anyone the ability to transform into a Werebear decided to give Maul charges out as a way to benefit that transformation.
Shields/Heads

Level 6 Chilling Armor (11/11), lvl 28 req, ilvl 28
Level 5 Energy Shield (11/11), lvl 28 req, ilvl 28
Level 16 Blade Shield (27/27), lvl 48 req, ilvl 48
Adding charges to normal shields because I want to put Holy Shield on there. It’s actually not overpowered. Paladins can get away with putting only +1 point into Holy Shield because of +Skills. But charges don’t benefit from +skills, Level 1 Holy Shield only gives +14% blocking, and at level 1 lasts 30 seconds. Why bother using it then? Because it grants you a Block Frame Rate of 2. It’s basically a way for non Paladins to get 2 frames per block, which is powerful enough to justify using it just before confronting a boss. Smite with only 35 charges means you can’t use it all the time so that should keep that under control on power. Energy Shield unsynergized means 200% damage is being done to your mana pool, it can be useful, but only for select niche builds with lots of mana.

Level 16 Cloak of Shadows (60/60), lvl 36 req, ilvl 36
Teleport is very important to the Summon Necromancer, and Voodoo Heads are repositories of magic, so it makes sense to me that a Necromancer would imbed Teleport charges in his Voodoo Head.

Got to have a ring of Fire Ball available. Other effects on Jewelry are mainly defensive or about increasing chance to hit.
This took a huge amount of effort to catalog the different charges. (EDIT: Added Armor and Jewelry charges.) Charges ought to be a significant and useful part of the game, but currently there they are far too useless. Charges need to be at a level that they are actually useful. Since they cannot be effected by +Skills they ought to be high level, you don’t have to worry as much about them breaking things like you do O-skills. For example, level 1 Enchant is worthless, but level 10 Enchant grants 100% Attack Rating, that can be useful, despite being much less powerful than Demon Limb or native Enchant on a Sorceress. Level 4 Fire Ball is worthless; level 20 Fire Ball is still very weak as an unsynergized spell without Fire Mastery, but potentially has an edge use case to deal with a small group of Monsters immune to your primary damage type but vulnerable to Fire.
Hopefully people will comment on this topic. I hope they do considering the amount of work I put into this, please also comment in my Crafting thread if you find these mechanic topics interesting. These are all three sets of affixes that ought to be major parts of the game. Plus Skill affixes certainly are currently useful, but the expansion didn’t properly update these skill affixes to deal with the new class specific items. Chance to Cast and Charges affixes are often treated as a waste because they are not properly balanced. They can be made much, much more powerful without coming close to the power levels of current builds. Blizzard ought to be more aggressive with these affixes so that they can open up new builds and playstyles.
