Description

https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article ... oming-soon

There are a lot of balance changes for the warlock as well as changes for Heralds and Sunder Charms and some adjustments to Colossal Ancients.

Some Highlights:
Blizzard wrote:
Warlock
  • Warlocks can now only equip a two-hand weapon in one hand if the other hand is using a
    Grimoire
    class item, not a shield.
Bind Demon
Terror Zones/Heralds/Sunder Charms
  • Colossal Ancient Statues can now drop from non-Terrorized act bosses.
  • Heralds now spawn and hunt players immediately upon killing any monster in a Terror Zone. The chance for a
    Herald
    to hunt you is increased with each monster killed within the same Terrorized Zone.
  • Latent Sunder Charms can drop from any monster, Terrorized and non-Terrorized, using Magic Find.
  • The increased chance to drop a Latent Sunder Charm now starts at Heralds of Dread (Tier 2) instead of Tier 4.
  • The increased chance to drop a Latent Sunder Charm from Heralds is no longer heavily modified by player count.
  • If the increased chance to drop a Latent Sunder Charm from Heralds fails to drop a Latent Sunder Charm, there is an increased chance of dropping something desirable instead, like a charm or amulet.
User Interface and User Experience
  • Reintroduced bindable move directions (WASD).

Excelent changes!

There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.

The

needing 20 base points for superunique is gonna be rough, but I assume you can still get
Conviction
if Hephasto actually spawns with it, yes?

Adding conc?! Good lord. I guess the free aura stick wasn't good enough yet. o.O
And miasma chains just getting nerfs and nerf-fixes (justified mind you, no complaint there) but no mention of a fix to have it actually do dmg to the chained target. Doesn't necessarily instill hope.

But oh well, we shall see.

The
Herald
off of killing "any" monster sounds pretty solid imo. Assuming that really is "any" and not "any elite". Finally a reason to actually clear zones! All hail the mighty non-Enigma builds! :D
Seems this'd be a good time to sell all your sunders though..sounds like those prices are about to come crashing down hard with them dropping even off of non-TZ mobs, in addition to the
Herald
buffage.

Agreed these are going to tank along with statue sets.

What's a bit disheartening is the ongoing distinct lack of any fixes to all of the old stuff they broke even more/still never fixed since D2:R launched... :/

I'm not familiar with the timeline of these things. If PTR concludes April 21, when do these changes hit the general realm?

Anyone wanna translate this one for me? :P
So...soft points will work in the same way that hard points currently work, meaning the actual effects would still basically
Cap
at 20 total, making it a 1pt wonder skill?
Or soft points will work on top of hard points, effectively removing the 20
Cap
and giving it an ever increasing effect for mad radius + duration?
And why "instead of", rather than "in addition to"?! Just bad phrasing or making hard pts useless? ^^

Given, could both be interesting. But the 1pt wonder approach would nicely offset the extra pts needed in the demon tree now.

Depends on the outcome of the PTR and how much they feel they need to adjust/fix/rework after that.

Pity I traded away a nice
