Because you are going around trying to pretend like this is a non issue and legacy gear is fine.
It is not. It clearly is not based on the unhappy posters on this thread , as well as many others.
Yea you can get by with legacy gear till 60 even , I did on the PTR- because the difficulties are HILARIOUSLY easy. Its not because the gear is good, its because they are inept at game balance.
They positioned this as a stat squish , and item rebalance.
In reality, its an item RESCALE, they didnt add any new power, they just slid the scale, and started Eternal players at the beginning , which is something they dont want.
With mythics in gear you should be able to do T4 with no problems, it’s endgame equipment we’re talking about, T3 is not endgame by any mean, it’s like saying you have no problems doing actual pit 70/80 with uber uniques like…not much of a surprise
To compare to actual S5 endgame you definately need to try T4 that is pit 120 equivalent, T3 should be doable with nothing special and no high tier builds anyway
I didnt mean that they would be useless but 540 → 750 should not be just a “slightly higher dps number.” If it is then my bad, but it doesn’t make sense that it would be a small difference. Holding on to them just because they are purple and you are attached to them also wouldn’t make sense.
Also doing T3 in 540 gear sounds to me like they didnt make things difficult enough. Whats the point of hunting better gear if you can blaze through the second hardest tier with stuff that isnt even level appropriate.
I dont agree with this. T3 is one step before the last tier of difficulty. It should be fairly hard. Its not even gear dependent. If people are rofl stomping it in 540 gear then their progression rework was a waste of time. That level should take 750 gear. Otherwise there is either no point of having 750 gear or no point of this progression rework.
T3 is unlocked with a pit level that doesn’t require max gear and uber uniques so it’s safe to say that T3 is far from being endgame level. If we want to test how crap those 540 uber uniques are now we should test in T4, a “uber unique and max level gear enviroment” testing in T3 would be the same as testing endgame lighting spear sorc build…in IH T6, just pointless, if gear from S5 really didn’t got nerfed that much (As many here keep saying) it should still be pretty decent in T4. If S5 gear gets steamrolled in PTR T4 then it’s pretty safe to say they just ruined all of our eternal items at once
I think I just misunderstood your original post. I’m saying that I don’t think T3 should be easy. T4 should be difficult for the hardcore sweats. That’s my opinion on how thing should be. It isn’t like that on PTR right now.
im also a eternal player most of the time ( played some seasons too)
For me the mythics are not a big problem cause i have collected soo many over the last year i can craft new ones for my two eternal chars day1.
but for other eternals with not so much old mythics to salvage how about adding a quest on eternal realm which grants every eternal player mythic chests with 4 random mythics in it after completion.
make the same for ancestral unique items, with 10 random but class specific uniques in it.
People already tested and T3 is totally doable without any meaningful gear, T1 and T2 due to new paragorn board are a complete joke already, once you unlock paragorn board at 60 you can jump straight to T3 being like torment now, with good gear 99% of the mobs of the world are irrelevant, you can basically afk in the middle of events like you do now if you have a decent build and good gear, uber uniques in actual torment are totally overkill for basically anything outside high tier stuff like tormented bosses, pit over 100, IH T7/T8…highest ND don’t even require any uber atm really. That’s why legacy ubers should be tested in S6 T4, no point testing them where you basically 1shot everything already even without ubers
