Ethereals could have more than 4 fixed primary affixes. They could have unique affixes. They probably have higher rolls.
Ethereal Wand 2100-2100 Damage
1250 Int
+25% Damage to projectiles
-6 Second Cooldown to Teleport
20 % increased resistance
-15% Damage to Elites
-2 Sockets.
Random Legendary Power + passive rolled
This wand finds your deatch humourus + Prodigy
Let’s wait and see.
But overall I wish for another big balance Patch in the future, that addresses a lot of underperforming skills.
To get the transmogs for them ALL you have to find them all. That makes no sense, especially since it’s a FoS.
As others have noted, the drop rate for off-class items makes this achievement reward only those who manage to play a crap ton and are lucky as hell.
Change it so that you immediately get the transmog for whatever item drops, and give the worthless FoS to those who over-play the season and are equally overly lucky. Rewarding all only for finding all is lousy design!
Who cares, we’ll actually get real powerful and unique weapons not this primal garbage we have now and hopefully most of the primal v1 whiners quit the game so maybe we can get it beyond this season
So the 6p inna if i understood it right, takes the damage from the Monk and move it to the Mystic Ally. How is this an improvement? It is more like a nerf.
Instead of nerfing the overperforming Bonespear poison rune to reduce its GR pushing capability, you nerf the set and other non-overpowered runes suffer as well.
I was upset at season 23’s WD nerf and lack of attention to WD. Now I’m just disappointed.
There are at least 14 WD specific items in the weapon category that don’t have damage multipliers that should.
I’m not even asking for every under powered item to get a buff… can you please pick one? Playing with frogs or spiders, acid rain, firebomb or mass confusion or something would be awesome but just nothing at all?
and Ya’ll’d better not come back with yet another nerf for WD. -.-
I think we all expected something else. Something more meaningfull and interesting. Like expanding the emenate items, rework/buff more under preforming sets, esspecialy for WDs. And we got one for the monk, which is not bad, but there could have been atleast one more. Two nerfs, that i don’t know how to feel about yet. And a meaningless seson theme.
I really think the new transmog should be unlocked for each item individually. For a solo player, with not that much time to play, I’m honestly afraid it won’t even be possible to get all of them. I mean - having to solo level all the classes, gear up all of them, and then farm and hope you’re lucky? Jesus this really sounds awful. I barely force myself to level and gear up 2 characters solo in the current season and it was tedious. I can’t even stress enough how awful having to do that with all classes solo sounds, and even worse - how terrible it will feel to not get the new transmog just because you had to collect everything and you couldn’t do that because you’re a solo player.
I could actually be happy with the season 24 theme, with the following conditions:
The ‘‘set of affixes’’ on the ethereal weapons should be powerful enough to make a real difference of several GR tiers (if it is just an additional passive it won’t be worth the grind)
The transmos reward we will get from collecting all ethereal weapons should be spectacular enough to give us the incentive to play all classes during the season
Well, don’t forget that you can get the same ethereal several times, so 3 eth doesn’t mean 3 different eths, if you’re unlucky 2000 legs and still not enough 3 eths can be very possible.
So it’s virtually impossible to collect all of them in one season with median playtime.
So I suggest just simply unlock whatever eth you get for transmorg. Let the achievement be a separate thing.
Sorry, but no amount of transmog awesomesauce is going to make me want to play the Necro. Or the Crusader. None. That requirement for all of them to be found just to keep the transmogs has got to go or this season is effectively a bust for everyone but the sadomasochist and/or botters.
Right now, as it stands the upcoming season is pushing super hard on the “Diablo 3 is trying to be the only game you play” take, when instead it will in fact be the one game I’m guaranteed not to even bother launching at all until (maybe) season 25.
There are two things I absolutely loathe, hate, and despise in a game:
Ridiculously insane grinds for minimal reward. The requirements to acquire the transmogs permanently greatly exceed the reward from performing the choresome tasks.
FOMO.
This season theme digs tooth, claw, and fae propaganda deep into both of those. Hard. FOMO on its own is usually enough to get me to just up and walk away. This has me looking to run away at top speed toward the most attractive game I can find as my non-Shadowlands filler. Currently that’s slated to be Legend of Mana once my GMG Steam key arrives.
The main reason I gave up on this season was I just got sick of having to do the whole SC+HC character in order to do solo friendly conquests. It finally grated on me enough that even the cute pet that Kimberly LeCrone (KLeCrone, former D3 CM turned concept/asset artist) created wasn’t enough to entice me into the season, despite the followers giving me noticeably more flexibility in early gearing. But even a perfect slate of conquests next season won’t get me to so much as glance in D3’s direction if the season theme requirements remain as-is. I’d sooner go play nothing but Delve missions in PoE, and those that have seen my PoE posts know how much I despise Delve’s mechanics.
He was giving the minimum realistic farming amount. He’s well aware of the fact that duplicates can and do happen in D3. Unfortunately in order to factor in RNG, some fairly complex differential equations would be required, and that’s waaaaaaaay more effort than the current season theme is worth going into considering he’d probably spend more time doing the equations and iterations than actually playing this upcoming season.
This might very well be the saddest update for any game I ever played… And for sure the saddest one for such a company as blizzard.
Only a few monk changes and thats it? And not even good ones… Are your devs really that incompetent? And yes perhaps this makes me very entitled, but come on this is just pathetic…
