Wiz, non-season, Old Sigil. What is best damaging spell?

I saved 2 ancient old-type sigils before. This means I can now play nonseason with laser autocasting whatever. What spell (with all possible multipliers) would be the best to play Fire-bird?

You can reroll them endlessly to get a primal version, and the leg power will stay as the old version :wink:

!@#$ Energy Twister…

And Meteor Shower is by far the most preferred one.

Good trolling. If you use it against a noob. But thanks, I know how D3 works.

He’s not trolling.
If you reforge a legacy item, the result will always be a legacy item.
There’s no way to reforge a legacy item and the result be the new version.

So, if you currently have two of the legacy items, use the best one, and reforge the other until you get a better one. Equip the better one, and the previously worn one becomes what you use to reforge with.

You clearly don’t, since not every leg change is retroactive. Like Necro’s Golemskin Breeches that replaced the damage bonus to Golem for a cooldown. But the legacy one KEPT the damage bonus to in non-season.

As non-season Etched Sigil KEPT the old ~150% damage multiplier instead of switching to the crappy ET one.

I MYSELF reforged an old Jordan’s ring with no orange affix and got a new one with an affix. After that I totally don’t mind if a thousand players will tell me otherwise. I don’t think it will change, I KNOW it will change. And this is totally the end of talk. This guy wanted me to loose my old Sigils. But I am not a victim for such things.

It kept its affix because nobody reforged it lol.

Regardless of whether you stick your fingers in your ears and go “La, la, la, can’t hear you” it doesn’t alter the fact that reforging legacy items results in legacy items. But, hey, if you don’t believe it, that’s fine. I guess all these articles are wrong too, eh?

Well you have two so you can try, if they are trolling you still have one left. Unlike me who have none because i accidentaly destroyed the legacy one instead of the crapy ET one. Now i cant play my typhon set properly😢

but you can still farm / buy one now. or is the patch live already?

Yupp pretty much and i’m not buying thx

This change to Etched Sigil in many ways encapsulates the worst of recent Blizzard’s updates to D3. So tonedeaf and open to misuse. They have done many things correctly, but this isn’t one.

Since that pach they are acting like a bunch of headless chikens. And i don’t like to think about what they’re going to do next. Ok, the follower update was a decent idea. But the rest is just plain chaotic.

The changes to Wizard in 2.7.0 were…bad. Bad is the word.

i mean buy them at kadalas

I don’t think thats an option but if you know something i don’t pleas explain.

How so? Its the first set to be released that doesn’t need to stack crit crit area cool down on everything. Finally something new that isn’t a stupid power that explodes and deals exponential damage to others just because of a 20% chance to deal higher damage than you have

The change to Etched Sigil happened in the last Patch.
If you do not have a legacy version, you cannot get one.
If you have one extracted to the Cube, it will have changed to the new version.

What you’re victim of - I can’t repeat. Considering that others have tested it and confirmed pre-patch non-season ES’s keep the old power.

But I’ll do one better than that! We’ll play SHOW & TELL!!! How neat is that???

There is the legacy Etched Sigil chilling like a villain on the Wiz! See the stats, the old power AND the Diablo 3 version at the bottom left of the screen.

Oh, and btw, the Mephisto pet & wings from the newly bought D2R Prime Evil edition :grin:

OOOOH things are now really starting to sizzle! Crikey, what’s gonna happen?? gasps in Spanish Someone is about to reforge!! Oh this cannot end well…

https://i.postimg.cc/jjTJmjLR/Screenshot003.jpg

Holy guacamoly, would you look at that??? That is one of the worst reforge attempts I’ve ever seen. But what sorcery is this??? WHY NO ENERGY TWISTER UPGRADE???

I’m totally suing Kulle and I want my 50 souls back, but now looks like I’ll have to go out into Sanctuary and scavenge for a new one, because the old one is clearly not shedding the old power…

Damn…

I utterly misspoke, I meant 2.6.10. 2.7 is great.

Now that you’ve shown screenshots of a reforged legacy item not turning into a non-legacy item, you do realise the next thing he’ll accuse you of is faking the screenshots. Maybe you should equip it on a hero, and link your armoury page. Then he can accuse Blizzard of faking the armoury site too.
