Yup and it's fantastic! Rerolling rares/gambling for hours on end was one of the worst parts of MXL..

In return it seems that all rares that drop have much much better rolls than before.

Found several pieces with insane elemental damage, %spell and -enemy res etc, and lots of other good stuff.

Im considered that stuff for realm purpose / increase longevity for realm player
While I hate grinding myself, I even more hate endless crafting in median in order to get godly rare / craft.

I look it positively that those godly rare / craft should technically worth more in TG.
Last time it was kinda worthless since everyone can get it assume they have a lot of time.

Now you need time + luck for better payoff at the end (affix pool was rebalanced as well).

When the 'most viable' (and accepted!) way of using a system is to use a bot/macro (d2clicker) to read text and click a button for you to get the roll you want, something is broken.

This is a good step in the right direction.

Recent Hotfixes


There have been five hotfixes in the last days, here's a brief summary of what was done:

- Assassin: doubled initial damage of all ways
- Assassin: removed ND from all sentries, including immolation bomb and nova shot
- Barbarian: fixed and greatly improved/increased debuff nova when iceburst explodes

- Fire cannonade: damage reduced, reduced spawning oskill level
- Arrow Swarm: disabled due to performance issues

- Tweaked new affixes spawning frequencies
- Removed level requirements of all new affixes due to client bug not displaying proper level requirement
- Removed certain on-attack procs from spawning on throwing knives
- Increased life leech stat spawning on weapons
- Replaced maelstrom on-hit proc from throwing knives with something new
- Reduced broadside on-attack proc from 16% to 12%
- Reduced reanimates from hidden shrines to prevent lag
- Other minor fixes


Hopefully everything is relatively stable now. There have been some issues with the pvpgn hosting service but we will work that out soon. Big thanks to @aahz and @suchbalance for making this possible :D

Unique.
Was SOV changed recently? I haven't seen any undead minions being raised from my Spirit anymore.

If someone could confirm it still works that'd be great.

ED: Nevermind, for some reason having a lotta ele's out was shutting it down... Seems fine now.
