The order of mods on some items has changed

...and it's bothering me. Things like

Gheed's Fortune, where the Magic Find and Vendor Prices have swapped positions. Or

Griffon's Eye swapping the lightning damage/enemy lightning resist. And I just realized, they changed the order of these two on all of the facets as well, EXCEPT for the Cold facets.

But why?

One thing i don't know 100% for sure that was always this way. But rings can roll with flat psn dmg?

It's not a new thing.

For elemental & poison damage, there's both a family of prefixes and a family of suffixes. The prefixes (which are generally stronger than the suffixes) can only appear on weapons and circlets (only the lowest tier of each damage type can appear on circlets). The suffixes, however, can appear on amulets and rings as well (though only the lowest tier).


Prefixes: https://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/i ... /pre.shtml

Prefixes

Prefix	Effect	Item types
Septic	+6 Poison Damage Over 2 Seconds	Weapons(1), Circlets(1)
Foul	+12 Poison Damage Over 3 Seconds	Weapons(10)
Corrosive	+80 Poison Damage Over 4 Seconds	Weapons(20)
Toxic	+150 Poison Damage Over 5 Seconds	Weapons(35)
Pestilent	+275 Poison Damage Over 6 Seconds	Weapons(50)

So it looks like they are doing something.
Dayz developers did this type of bs all the time. First they removed bunch of things from their game, only to add them slowly back after a long time so it looks like they were adding and changing things around.
Truthfully they do absolutely nothing but extend the changelogs to make it look like they are actually working on something(s).

I think, my opinion, that we don't see any changelogs yet because they are working 100% on more content for BlizzCon reveal. Hope for act 6 and finished act 4...

Crap, it's in September? I thought it's around June. Well, they're definitely cooking something... probably for another few dozen bucks or so.

Idea of new/expanded acts is the most probable, because it's at the same time the low hanging fruit and something that community was asking for FOR AGES (like the stackable tabs) - so there's less chance of backlash.

However, last time we had seemingly unrelated changes (stash tabs changing), it turned out that's prep for major overhaul of that part of the game. So... rerolling affixes as a part of next expansion? They were asking about that in the survey.
