When are items actually rolled?

I would have been inclined to disagree with you. It seems I tried this many Seasons ago, with an alternate Character of a different Mainstat from my main Character, and received items appropriate for my main Character. So, I decided to test this…   just now.

I loaded up my Solo Season 34 Demon Hunter. I picked an Act where I had the least amount of Bounty Mats. (Act 5). With the Altar fully unlocked I received two Bounty Caches. I put them in my Stash.

I then switched to my alternate Crusader and let him open the two Bounty Caches. He received:

# Item Type Attribute Class Specific
2x Helltrapper Hand Crossbow Dexterity Hatred Regeneration
1x Salvation Crusader Shield Strength Wrath Regeneration
1x Death’s Bargain Pants Strength None
1x 2-Hand Rare Axe Strength None
1x Rare Belt Strength %Punish Damage

The Helltrappers are Bounty-specific Legendary Hand Crossbows, so it’s no surprise they rolled with Dexterity and Hatred Regeneration. Death’s Bargain is also a Bounty-specific item. However, I was surprised that this and the rest of the items rolled with Strength. And some with Crusader-only Properties. The Bounty-specific Salvation rolling with Strength and Wrath Regeneration wasn’t a surprise because of it being a Crusader Shield.

But, it seems you are correct.

The Class that opens the Bounty Cache(s) determines the Mainstat and Properties

I am now inclined to use a Mark Twain quote that @yessquire recently posted in these forums:

“The older I get, the more clearly I remember things that never happened.”
