Interesting:
All Unique items now have 2 guaranteed affixes when dropped.
Also the āchanges from the PTRā labeled in blue, are not in fact labeled in blue.

Yeah, they forgot the blue on the patch notes.
I will say that on the one hand Blizzard did listen to the feedback regarding uniques maintaining an identity. On the other, making most of the rolls primary stat rolls is not exactly what players probably had in mind.

this is nifty
- Unique, Mythic Unique, and Iconic Mythic Items can now have affixes altered via Enchanting.
this is not so nifty:
Ring of Starless Skies
- Guaranteed Affix 1: Primary Core Stat
- Guaranteed Affix 2: Attack Speed

Weāll see what this patch does to balance.
The damage nerfs areā¦well most of the nerfs are fine but Heir of Perdition is a trash item now. Stealing crit chance is just stupid when the buff it provides with itās unique aspect is damage, not crit chanceā¦
The real issue though is the survivability nerfs. Without adjusting the on-death affix spam this is probably going to be bad for build diversity.
Itās sad to see Blizzard is doubling down on half fixes that cause more problems than they resolve.

they shouldāve have. Whats the point of old mythics? might as well just removed them from the game.
Itās mostly the PTR but they threw a second guaranteed (and almost always very generic) affix on uniques to convince the gullible that they āwere listeningā to feedback.
On the plus side, I think there are some more individual buffs to skills, but since their printer wasnāt filled with blue ink Iām not sure and Iām not taking the time to compare.

ā* Fixed an issue where Sorcererās Ice Armor could unintentionally freeze allied players.ā
Must have been a true o.O moment.
Truly awful, this IP is wasted on this company.

Iām OK with uniques having a few set aspects. Most seem appropriate for the item.
At least you can reroll unique items via enchanting now.
and
- The mid-fight cutscene for Echo of Mephisto can now be skipped. Rejoice!

āFixedā is the keyword.
Adding core stats to every item, is like well whatever, they still lost their identity.
And you clearly see why their itemisation suck. So much is the same, there is so little variation. The affix pool is a joke, still far too small.

ā* The Upgrade to Mythic recipe in the Horadric Cube now always creates an item for the same gear slot.ā Hmm this does not sound like it keeps the actual item. So no tweaking first.
Will there be a Double Secret Probation Unique?
