No, set & orange text item bonuses adapt to the patch u are playing.

cause now seer is a devotion and like any devotion it locks out other skill trees.
don't know why put an item requirement but i can guess that's to have people use druid staves while levelling.

Those are some nice changes! Really interested in the bow druid changes for this patch! Gotta admit that I'm a bit disappointed that the stash pages weren't added, but I guess I'll just stick to singleplayer again

Question:
MANA SQUISH:
[...]
As above, most of these changes will only apply to new characters and equipment


Am I reading it correctly in that this means that a 1.6 singleplayer character (e.g. a basic cold sorc) will not function as intended in 1.7, even if all gear is re-collected? I thought character-based changes would propagate through patches since, presumably, they aren't nearly as uniquely instanced as items are? I wasn't able to be on the stream until after that part, so I'm not sure if it was clarified at all.

If you collect all gear anew, the only thing which will be "not as intended" will be that you have more base mana (which is gained from levelups), so it won't be a huge deal.
