Basically, they were discussing this internally but decided to maintain their current approach (retroactively buff sets, but not legendaries). It's safe to say that it's mainly because of technical reasons, and whether that's normal legendaries, ancients, or primals, makes no difference - "the technology just isn't there yet".
For me personally, as someone who has never been a "season pushing player" but likes the continuity of non-season, it gives me new goals to farm. I've already gambled/cubed the new DH weapons yesterday (speedfarming GR90s with Multishot is just SO MUCH FUN) and now I've got some things to do on other classes as well. To be honest, I always complain about the loot hunt being so quickly over, at least compared to D2, so it isn't all that bad in my opinion. Also let's be clear - the list of items you have to replace isn't that long, it's about 5 per class and usually 1-2 per build or so. Some builds even didn't get any changes (like MH wizards) and some got changed a bit more (like the new SWK mechanics or the 3 items we need to re-acquire or UE MS DH). It's not like you're salvaging your entire stash.
Yea loothunt in d2 takes so dam long, i allways end up useing hero editor even if i tell myself to not use it this time...
Necro RG killer and buffed Ulianas for solo grs. Hopefully smth better then WD batman or LON SB shines up as trash killer for end game. So far DMO frozen orb looks pretty strong.
Main Sunwuko WoL Monk or crus or barb. Then i will do GR45 no set Conquest, 3x gems lvl65, then cursed chest or 6x gr55. And then i will make UH DH for T13 in 4 min and hope i can do it. And btw i solo all cos i play on PS4 and i will not pay for multiplayer.
well, about my plans? i will try for once to join the meta in groups to pump my paragon, only 1300 NS atm. so i'm thinking about going monk, and HOPEFULLY they will be in the speedfarm meta(although i think speed runs will remain the same, 563276 necros and a barb). otherwise i'm fucked yet again.
if you do plan on playing solo, DH is probably the best option out there, they are beasts for soloing journeys, especially now with the MS buff you will probably complete the journey half asleep. DH has always been my first option in seasons because of how easy they are to solo it, only problem was t13 rift in 4 minutes and maybe 1 conquest. now with MS buff there is no question, only help you might need is if you are going for boss mode conquest, everything else is easy solo.
If u want to go solo, I will suggest to go WD this season:
GR45 without set item is a faceroll... u can do it with only 3 items (Jeram' Mask, Tasker and Teo and the ring that gives u 3 mini-gargantua) and all yellow gear becouse all gear got buffed;
Boss MODE: TURBO CHICKEN is the way!!!
up to lvl 70: WD is the fastest char to lvl up
Arachyr set dungeon = faceroll
Wtf man, do you even know that game at all? Rare gear did not get buffed. To me Helltooth dungeon is the easiest ever.
I only play Diablo 3 and i play solo cos on ps4 you must pay to play on mulitplayer. I play at morning or at evening when kids and wife sleeps. This gives me 5 hours or less playtime, each day is different. I sleep too, i am not that kind of nolifer who plays all night, i have real life too.
Yea all bars are cool now. I guess i try out all barb sets and whatch whitch one is strongest. They should buff LoN like 385% per ancient, so it would be 5005% dmg whit full 13 ancients.
With full time job, wife and a 2 years daughter, I barely can play 1 hour per day, and I have to suddenly disconnect sometimes, so I mainly play solo... that's the reason for asking for the easiest way... I have nearly all class sets and weapons ancients with proper rolls (no barb or monk) so if 2.6.1 is not nerfed, I will try with sader, my favourite class and lore (old school d&d player here ). Thanks everybody for your ideas!
I have 2 kids, i play when all sleeps or when they are not at home. I think i can reach gr70 this time or gr75 if i have enought time.
What about mixing these two sets in s12 if all these buffs go live? (Fan of Knives dmg buff + Natalya’s Vengeance set buff). Like full bonus from Natalya's and 2pc (+1200% dmg) from Shadow + all support legs ofc. At least it would be nice t13 speedfarming build if nothing else?
I would better wanna know the main story of Diablo 4 should they ever made it. They could start it all over again rather then continue d3 story and make everything better then d3 was. Like ultimate never ending end game etc.
