As I have a good amount of mats on nonseasonal, will cube re-rolling give me the updated version of an item changed in the patch, i.e., blade of prophecy? I want to dick around a few builds while nothing really matters.

No, re-rolling will not update a legendary to the new stats. You can craft it via upgrades, or gamble it, but re-rolling will not work.

What's the bug?

1. Have deathwish in cube or equiped
2. Cast Arcane Torrent - Death Blossom
3. After you cast AT: DB once, you are granted a permanent 4.25x bonus from Deathwish and can now unequip it and use something else, until you die or create a new game.

One of the starter videos is where I got the idea, its basically that you get the dagger immediately upon hitting 70 and you can jump straight into T6+ because you can FoK or impale for more than enough damage even if you have poo poo else, and just build from there. I think it showed how to progress right into Nats but I cant remember offhand. I'm sure you can do other, similar stuff with other classes but it looked like a good start for me, someone mostly bad at Diablo.

EDIT: It was bloodshed when I was looking up starter guides: Basically this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbyWTggaTPU into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56jSPk7rZbg

No it just buffs the poo poo out of RoV, which requires a ranged weapon IIRC.

I was wondering if there was the added implication of Natalya's set still being underpowered.

From how a lot of it reads, its better but I don't think it carries into the higher stuff that well, so you still end up swapping into better sets once you start getting those options. But again nobody has really torn it apart yet so who knows for sure.

I guess my post was kinda bitchy because Nats is my least fav DH set. It looks like it just got a 7x dmg boost tho so you should be fine, esp since you've researched it.

Possible, though it would be the third time they've had to do it. It's gone from a cap of six to ten, and then to the current thirteen. That's not even getting into the old days of Normal/Nightmare/Hell/Inferno or the Monster Power settings that acted as the precursors to the current torment level.

I wouldn't expect a raise this season, but I wouldn't be shocked to see an increase next season.

It did not for me. Small Man's Finger was one of the updated items, and it rerolled with the old affix, which is apparently 200% damage instead of 500-600%. Looks like I have to find/make a new one. :(

Yeah, you cannot just 'cube reroll' legendary items to get updated orangetext. You actually need to have the item drop again.

Good news is you should have plenty of mats in nonseasonal to play with to upgrade yellows if you want to go that path.

Also cubed items are automatically updated in the cube.

It just occurred to me that this sounds, mechanically, pretty similar to the anniversary legendary gem bug/exploit that the hot patched during that season (was that s9? 10?).

What other builds have similar durability to invoker crusader? I played on mine earlier and the buffs to the set and extra paragon levels from last season pushed me 10 GR levels higher than my previous best. I tried the elements set with shenlong weapons monk last season and I wasn’t impressed.

I guess it is official since Blizz responded to someone that commented at how useless this is since it's during non-season.

"This is intentional. We want to explore doing events again, but we don't want Seasonal players who miss the events to feel as though they are at a disadvantage because they couldn't play during an event.

So for now, we're experimenting with running events in between Seasons. This will, in the future, potentially effect Era leaderboards, but that's also an additional way to continue differentiating between the two modes."

Edit: The fact that they bold "Treasure Goblins" makes me think this will be much less useful than I thought it would be.

:dukedog:
The couple other times there was a double goblin even it affected all types of spawns, but I don't think menagerists were in the game back then so that's a question mark.

I'd much rather a "Rainbow Goblins are more common than Gibbering Gemstones and Princess Lillian actually exists" event :mad:

"We want to help you stretch your muscles and get prepared for the latest patch with a special in-game event—double Treasure Goblin spawns! Each time you encounter a single Treasure Goblin, they’ll be hanging out with a buddy whose bags are overflowing with all your favorite treats and treasures.

This Double Goblin event will begin in the Americas region on November 6 at 5:00 p.m. PDT, and ends on Thursday, November 9 at 5:00 p.m. PDT.

Note: This buff does not affect the number of goblins encountered via a Bandit Shrine, Goblin “Rift” packs, or in the Realm of Greed."

It's still confusing because they're all treasure goblins, but there's one specifically called a Treasure Goblin. I think we may get twice of all types, since I'm pretty sure that's how it was before. For you Cosmic Wing farmers, remember that only one portal can be open per game, so unless they make it auto-close like the vault, the 2nd rainbow goblin will be useless.

I played a lot of D3 on my Mac, but I rarely use it anymore, and was kind of considering picking up D3 on the PS4 for some couch co-op and other stuff. Is there anything I'd be missing out on? Did seasons (or later patches) ever make their way to console?

It took a while but the console version is now identical to PC Diablo 3 except with sweet co op features. So play away

I'm not sure how far I'll get with it (before I have to go to Icy Veins and get the real MotE gear), but it's great so far.

I played around on NS for a little while with the new omega gangsta Frozen Orb build. Cleared GR95 pretty easily and I'm sure it could go much higher than that. Very safe and tanky, kind of curious why they didn't buff any of the other Arcane Orb runes since Frozen is so much better now. I wish Wizardspike procced more often, watching a volley of ice balls spinning around the screen never gets old.
