I don't think Console has "waypoint" in addition to "teleport".

We just have a button for "teleport back to town, with a Portal in town that can take us back to where we originated"

Do any of these Boss Mode guides work for Console?

Its when you run up on a teleport platform. There's a quest that tells you how to activate it if you forgot, just start a new character ;)

Does anyone know if there's a list of sets that have off-class transmogs? Even better, has someone succumbed to self-loathing to the point where they've screenied what they all look like on a Necro?

You trying to imply that it is not normal to roll a Demon Hunter every season just to get the shadow set hood to use with the other classes?

One of my friends rolled a DH this season and saved me the trouble. The female nec's hair clips through it when she walks which is kind of a bummer though.

Normally I do that but Dark Mage's Shade is really good looking so I've stuck with it this season. v:shobon:v

Looks like buffs all around.

They are buffing Karlei's point for impale DHs!!

They've redesigned 6pc sunwuko so it no longer consumes sweeping wind stacks.

Uliana's getting a HUGE buff.

Kind of annoying that some items will have their legendary affixes updated retroactively and some won't, but hey, buffs are buffs.

Sunwuko LTK might be GR viable with these changes.

- Scarbringer bonus doubled
- 6pc bonus doubled and won't consume sweeping wind stacks - wear string of ears instead of kyoshiro's belt?
- Bug fixed with Rabid Strike not applying bonus dmg to mimics properly

Yes, I know I'm old, get off my fucking lawn so I can yell at these clouds.

The necro belt is going to work with all curses. Looks like they're also trying to make death nova a viable skill, which is great because I want a blood nova farm build damnit.

They also buffed the pestilence set (which was inevitable) - it now gives a significant bonus to corpse explode and corpse lance.

Oddly they also buffed Trag by removing the extra life cost on the six piece. Yes, that set wasn't powerful enough.

I'm going to pretend the crusader item buffs will make older builds viable again.

But deep down in my heart I know the truth.

edit: oh god now you get two stacks from the Vyr's bonus for archon instead of one every hit.

The Pestilence buff, especially the corpse explosion bit is A+, as is the Dayntees fix. I'm pretty jazzed that Ulianas and Invoker are getting buffed too.

Metal Meltdown

That Uli buff makes me real happy. That's still my favorite spec after all my years of Diablo. That certainly helps the damage, but I'm still worried about defense. The belt buff helps a lot in that regard, but I still find that spec to be alarmingly squishy at times. It'll probably still be a solo push only build because you're gonna need unity to survive the level of Grift that damage buff will let you push.

It's kind of a non issue though. People were already spamming corpse consumption for life while blood lancing anyways so it doesn't really change its damage output any.

The Dayntee's change is going to make LazyStorm even tankier since you don't have to spec for decrepify and you can just leave on Frailty Aura. :lol::lol:

The Golem Skin Breeches were also changed to provide a defensive bonus while Golem is active as well. That gives Necros another defensive item as well as encouraging golem use, since none of the current popular/top builds use it at all.

Really should have done this for Rend as well so that fully half of the WotW set bonuses aren't an outright liability to try to take advantage of.

They do that already. Changing the item's other bonus to a cooldown reduction for the skill itself seems unlikely to make it worth using.

The buff to Denial is huge. Roland's Crusaders are going to see a 300% damage increase, but will seem even more lackluster in single target situations.

Also a tremendous lol at "Djank Mi'Eme" being a new Blood Shard vendor ha ha ha

This patch is very exciting, but something about it just screams "Death Knell". I could easily see this being the last balance patch of 2017, given how much this promises to shake things up. Just looking over it, one thing this does is boost all my farming specs hard. I could be speeding through TXIII with Sage's on after this no doubt.

Weirdly, there are no changes to Legendary gems here, lame, Mirinae stays sandboxed forever.

I think they're just following through on their philosophy of buff everything else to catch up to the imba spec. Necros are super powerful so now they're revisiting the older classes and neglected sets.

Honestly they could afford to buff Vyr's 6pc some more, Archon could stack 3 at a time and it still wouldn't reach Talvyr level insanity.

DMOrb has a lot to like though, it's tanky as hell and with the buffs to Trium/Scepter it can do enough damage to really push GRs.

Holy gently caress, this patch will be amazing. Finally viable solo push builds for Barb and sader, and after YEARS of complaints they FINALLY fix the goddamn sader bug. Possible saders entering the new 4 man meta, gently caress yeah!

Hell, possible DPS Barb's coming in too, this will be a great patch to shake things up

There's no official necro thread. The other class threads don't exactly see a lot of activity either so no one felt the need to make one, probably.

Patches usually land between seasons, so likely after S11 ends, but before S12 begins.

Will these buffs be retroactive? I've been running a WW Barb with Wastes set, Bul-Kathos weapons, and a cubed Skull Grasp, will the changes to WW damage update automatically or do I have to re-farm all of this stuff again later?

Set bonus changes are retroactive, normal legendaries usually aren't, but the patch will coincide with the next season anyway so who cares, out with the old in with the new.
