Are they going to both realms since the quest line is also going to both?
With so many uniques, I’d honestly like to see a smoother curve in drop rate % for unique’s up to mythic uniques because currently there’s a huge gap between the two that should be filled with varying rarity drop % chance - to me and for those who like the item hunt aspect of the game, that is where it can be improved especially as they add more uniques and change the power level of various uniques to match that.
Yes. The new items and aspects always go to both realms.

50 new uniques.
blue eyes in the dark, ice in the dark, eyes eyes baby in the dark, etc…
These “new” uniques are just changed old uniques… With new stats and tempering affixes added to them
Yep. Marketing semantics 101.
No they aren’t. There are 50 new uniques and aspects in addition to the changes to the old uniques.

Ofc they are… it for sure isnt only the 10 new uniques they have showed… Thats why they tweeted that they are going to show post on patch notes side by side all 52 NEW uniques items compared to their old version
Hmm, if math correct, there’s 96 uniques currently in the game. Plus there’s another 15 that were on the season 5 PTR.
Hope they’re update more than just 52 of the 96.
PezRadar’s tweet did not specify the number of uniques that had changed. He just said they were trying to put a side-by-side for all the updated uniques in S5 into the patch notes.
Based on the datamines from the PTR, Barbs have 4 new aspects, Druids have 4, Necros have 7, rogues have 8, sorcs have 8, and there are 7 new generic aspects. That’s 38. Then there are new uniques, including at least:
- Rakanoth’s
- Locran’s
- Lucion
- Verathiel
- Third Blade
- Umbracrux
- Mortacrux
- Vox Omnium
- The Basilisk
- Path of Trag’Oul
- Shroud of Khanduras
- Bjornfang’s Tusks
- Endurant Faith
- Axial Conduit
- Unbroken Chain
Assuming all of those make it into S5 proper, that’s 38 aspects and 15 uniques = 53 total. It’s possible they’ve removed one and that’s why you heard 52 somewhere?

I think you misunderstood. They are reworking most uniques, but the new stuff is new.

Nah I was simply stating that there isnt some HUGE amount of stuff coming out as many ppl and some tweets try to portrait, ALL the NEW uniques have been showcased already and the majory of the legendary powers is just utility stuff so everything pretty much same like every other season except the “rework” of uniques which again is just adding tempering to weapons or giving better stats in most cases, some are more noticable as items changing from gloves to ring etc., some unique powers is getting changed completly but that is very small portion of the uniques in the game so nothing major is happening just rework of the worst items…
Thats what I was saying all the NEW uniques have been showcased already, same with the legendary powers which are mostly utility you can already see leak every class get like 2 new offensive legendaries… nothing major same as every season
I mean, ok, you can slow walk from, “There are no new uniques, only updates to old ones” all the way to, “well, sure there are 50+ new uniques and legendaries, but they already showed us a version of them and anyway a lot of the legendaries were just utility,” but it still makes your original statement false.
Compared to what we were able to play with in S4, S5 has 50+ uniques and aspects that we have not yet be able to play with (outside a PTR), and in addition to that they have reworked the stats of “nearly every” unique that was in the game already.

Not slow walking back from anything just pulling numbers from memory, forgot about the 5 nonclass specific uniques as they were ALL shown nearly two months ago, as I stated before the new legendary powers are just utility mostly for leveling and aint gonna be used in any build past WT4. So yeah every classs gets like 2 Uniques and 2 Legendary powers with maybe like extra 2 for the non class specific ones which is exactly like every single season… But PR team trying to make it like something huge and revolutionary, something that will “save” S5 Infernal Horde which is basicly just 1 chest event inside of dungeon cuz they have to spent resource on fixing stuff that doesnt work since the game released
You must be real fun at parties
I wish I could downvote every single post of yours containing flat-out wrong, incorrect, and clear misinformation.
This isn’t a case of an opinion where a person says “I don’t think I like the new content”; you’ve clearly stated incorrect information as fact, then tried to modify and backpedal when proven incorrect in this very thread.
You are the worst kind of poster on these forums.
100% incorrect.
Sure dude… Its me being wrong when I said there are no new uniques, instead of Blizzard trying to make it look like they are adding some huge amount of new stuff. Yeah I could word it better and said “there are no new ones except those they have shown already” but guess it doesnt matter as long as there are stans like you WHO consider any little crumb as huge W, lets all be excited for new items that gives you more resource sustain while lvling
This is double what you would get in a normal season. And again, they are saying that there are 50+. There are indeed 50+. 50+ sounds like a lot because it’s a lot. Maybe only 5 of the uniques will be a major part of the meta. Maybe only 2 of the aspects will. But they still added 50 new options that weren’t in the game before and that’s a big increase the possible ways you can build your character.
We don’t have any idea what the balance will be on the uniques because we don’t know what changes were made from PTR yet. We don’t know which aspects will be useful because we don’t know what changes were made from PTR, we don’t know how the buffs to old uniques will affect what builds are viable, and we don’t know how class changes will affect what builds are viable. What we do know is that they are adding 50 new options and making changes to old options that the lead class designer called, “wild.”
It’s a lot more than we’ve gotten in previous seasons.
But this season adds a huge amount of new stuff. I don’t understand why you think the season isn’t adding new stuff just because they previewed a testing version of the new stuff for the PTR.

If my uber uniques become legacy again that’s a huge L
I hope it’s retroactive
