We know Blizzard is working on "build-defining" affixes for legendary items in Loot 2.0. This is one of the improvements many of us are counting on to improve itemization. What types of affixes do you think qualify as "build-defining"?
Have an idea for a cool affix? Post it here, I'll add it to the list. Also, we don't know if rare items are getting any types of special new affixes, but if you have an idea for a rare affix (minor build-defining effect), post it as well.
Most of my ideas involve Elemental Damage, applying Status Effects, and manipulating Status Effects that are already applied. This is just for fun, and who knows, maybe an affix or two could give Blizz some ideas.

i think they meant something else with the build defining thing dude... like the fist they showed, when using a monk skill and clearing a condition, the spirit was refunded... that's very different from what you are saying, witch are mostly more passive bonus that won't affect the skills per se
i think they want to put things that happen when you are using this or that skill specifically

Fair enough. But this is just thoughts. So what affixes would you like to see?
Btw, most skills use an Elemental Damage type, so any affix that affects an Elemental Damage will directly effect which skills you choose. Currently, Elemental Damage doesn't do anything, so giving them certain effects could be interesting. I'm not saying the affixes I came up with are great, but if Blizz is just thinking of reducing resource costs of specific skills, I don't think that will be very interesting.
Looks good man. One thing though, I don't know about other people but knockback and fear are probably the most annoying affixes to have. I play a barb without ancient spear or weapon throw, so you can understand why I find them so annoying
Other than that, here's my contribution:
I feel as if there isn't enough items that give as well as take.
Legendary Affixes
Armor:
While stunned you deal 40% thorns damage back attackers.
Your thorns damage is increased by 50%
+150 - 250 main stat
-75 - 150 Vitality
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Bashiok - Blizzard Representative - 08/01/2011 -"So how many skill combinations are there now? Well taking into account 6 active skills, all the rune combinations, and 3 passives we currently expect each class to have roughly 2,285,814,795,264 different build combinations."
"Hey, I thought you'd like the witty irony of grub-on-glowie violence!"

Lol, I agree about the Knockback/Fear. But maybe some builds would like them. Also, when PvP comes around, it could be more interesting.
Adding your Thorns Affix now. I like that! Let me know if I added it right.
Legendary affix (could be any slot, why not ring) : "If you have X% crit damage, you now have twice as much (2xX%) non crit damage instead. Your crit damage is no longer increased" (Example if you have 100% crit damage, you now have 200% non crit damage instead). 2xX% might be too much, but the numbers could be balanced by the devs !
Other possible wording : "Your crit damage is doubled but is applied to your non crit damage instead. Your crit damage is no longer increased"
Other Legendary affix : "Your attacks have a small chance to destroy all the objects (barrels, doors, furniture, etc...) in a 30 yards radius
About your ideas, I like the ally healing ability from shields, we need more multiplayer interactivity !
Cool, I'll try and transcribe that in shorter words. Let me know if it's what you meant.
I like knockback on my Archon Wiz. Fear is a bit annoying yeah, but it can be good against certain elite mobs.
I think the shields can have interesting affixes that proc everytime you sucessfully block a hit;
-Knockback all enemies around you after blocking 10 hits in less than 5 seconds
-Release a healing wave that heals you and your allies after you block X hits in X seconds
-Release a shockwave after blocking X times in X seconds
-Add a charge every time you block a hit up to X charges, every charge increases your armor / AR / HP by X%
I think some of those might work. They aren't really thought out but i like the idea that blocking actually does something other than just blocking X ammount of damage from every hit you take.

You're definitely right Jamoose, there's just so many affixes that can be expanded upon. There's also a lot that look like they've just been pushed to the side because they're inferior to everything else.

Definitely like Proc-on-Block ideas. Don't need to be perfect, just ideas are great.
- "Your gold find is reduced by 100% (monsters no longer drop gold) and you gain 50% more xp"
- "When you are healed by a health globe you gain 10% magic find for 20 sec. Can stack up to 10 times and go other the mf cap"
- "The durations of all your temporary buffs (self buffs, buffs from allies, shrines or NV) are increased by 100%"
- "When you move from an act to the next one with the maximum amount of NV stack, you are allowed to stack 5 additional NV buffs (up to 15 buffs). When you take the final portal after killing diablo, it leads you back to the begining of act 1." (For example, if you go from act 1 to act 2 with 5 NV stacks, you can get 10 NV buffs instead of 5, then if you go from act 2 with 10 stacks to act 3, you can get 15 NV buffs). If the item is removed all the additional NV buffs are lost.
General affix :
- "Monsters have X% more chances to drop health globes"
i think they meant something else with the build defining thing dude... like the fist they showed, when using a monk skill and clearing a condition, the spirit was refunded... that's very different from what you are saying, witch are mostly more passive bonus that won't affect the skills per se
i think they want to put things that happen when you are using this or that skill specifically
Totally agree with this, I believe it will be more along the lines of: if condition true, you get rewarded with some skill bonus.
- "When you are healed by a health globe cooldown of skill X gets reset" or
- "When you are healed by a health globe damage of skill X is increased Y% for Zs" or
- "When you are healed by a health globe resourse cost of skill X is reduced by Y for Zs " or
- "When you are healed by a health globe a hydra is spawned and all previous hydras is teleported to you and has 10s added to their duration"
Some more passive things like they have showed
- Allow more hydras
- Infinite "Call of the Ancients"
- Leap has no cd, but costs rage instead
- If skill X hits less then Y enemies damage/crit chanse is increased or costs less resourses.
- Lets you move at 50% speed while channeling (generic or for specific skill)
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. But ideas are just ideas. I was mainly curious to see what kind of Affixes the community might be hoping for. I personally would love for elemental damage to have actual unique effects. Weapons, Skills, and Armor would have massive interaction with each other.
There are a lot of skills to make specific affixes for... and it would be nice if more than one affix could affect a skill. I'm hoping they are able to create affixes that can affect more than one skill at once, even if it's indirectly.
About the Goldfind reduced by 100% affix, I just meant you gained a flat 50% more xp (regardless of the gold find gear worn) and monsters drop no gold. But I agree making it scale with gold find gear could be nice but in this case, 50% might be too low (because the player would have to sacrifice a lot of affixes on his gear (gold find affixes) in order to get XP + sacrifice the gold from monsters). so maybe you could keep my original idea as I intended it and modify your variant and say 100% of the gold find is turned into additional XP. That would be 2 different affixes.
Also I think I edited my previous post while you were writing yours. I added the increase of NV stacks when going from one act to the other.
New Legendary affix :
"All skill costs, cooldowns and experience gained are reduced by 30%"
*Dodging an attack increases your Critical Hit Damage by 20%. This bonus resets after you deal damage with any skill.
*After getting a call out for destroying the environment, your damage increases by an amount equal to 100% of the number of environment objects destroyed.
*Enemies slain by a Hydra have a chance to spawn another Hydra in their location.
*The cooldown of Wave of Force is reduced by 2 seconds for each ranged attack it reflects. Enemies hit by reflected attacks have their movement speed reduced by 80% for 4 seconds.
*While Diamond Skin is active, you will leave a trail of frost that slows enemy movement speed by 60% over 6 seconds.
*Enemies hit by the environment take 30% more damage for 3 seconds.
*Enemies slain with a critical hit splatter blood onto your screen and have a 100% chance to drop a Health Globe.
in all seriousness, I think a shapeshifting affix or skill needs to come about. Hell I'd even be fine if it was like:
3-6%chance on hit to transform into a werewolf and gain 15%attack speed and 10%movement for 15-30seconds. (internal cooldown of like 1 minute or whatever to stop abuse)
Heck if not I'd love to see this become an affix that could roll on a specific legendary like we saw in d2. Shape shifting deserves a spot in d2 and I'm a bit bummed out to not see a druid or a class like a druid be introduced. I imagine they'll be saving this class for next time.
3-6%chance on hit to transform into a werewolf and gain 15%attack speed and 10%movement for 15-30seconds. (internal cooldown of like 1 minute or whatever to stop abuse)
So you gave me a WoW flashback. Back in original Zul'gurub there were a pair of fist weapons that would proc some kind of offensive buff and give you the illusion of one of the bosses.
What you've described would make for an excellent set of 1hers that a monk/barb could use, IMO, with the "affix" actually being the set bonus.
Here are some of my Ideas, which could potentially be fun. Sorry I play only Barb
Legendary Affixes
Shield:
Every time you do not block an attack your blockchance is increased by 5% and your blockvalue is increased by 25%(Resets after block)
Armor:
Your thorns damage is increased by your critical strike damage percentage. In addition every time you get hit you receive 20% less damage for the next incoming hit.
Specific Skill:
Your pickup radius now increases the area of effect from your Whirlwind ability by 20% of its initial value but no longer effects gold or health globe pickup radius. (e.g. 10 yards pickup radius become 2 yards increased Whirlwind aoe but you now have a 0 yard pickup radius for gold/health globes)
If an enemy is killed by your Rend ability it has a 100% increased chance to drop a health globe. (e.g. 10% > 20% dropchance)
Your Leap ability drags all enemies in the launching area within 8 yards to the landing position.
Your Ignore Pain ability now renders you immune to crowd control effects during its duration but you only reduce the incoming damage by 40% instead of 65%. (also breaks CC effects)
Your Sprint ability now allows you to run through enemies during its duration but increases the fury cost to 30.

Your War Cry ability now costs 20 (40 with charge! rune) fury instead of granting 20 (40 with Charge! rune) fury. It also does 400% (800% with Charge! rune) weapon damage in a 25 yard radius.
- Your Frenzy and Bash abilty now swing with both weapons at the same time.
- The arc of your Cleave ability is now 3 yards wider and your Cleave ability does 20% more damage. (multiplicative)

I like your class specific affixes, they certainly mix up gear. I think blizzard could do so much more with items if they took the time. If loot 2.0 is just more primary stat boosts and other boring attributes it truly does make the experience 'more of just the same'. I think by adding these affixes some of which they've shown such as hydra can be build changing, or even allow you to design a build around it. This is why I loved shape-shifting in Diablo 2. Enchant sorc turning into a bear, barb turning into a werewolf, etc.
They really need to get more creative with set bonuses too, while getting a primary stat/all resist bonus/crit bonus is great for a 2-3piece I think granting 'powerful' 5-piece set bonuses or at least 'build changing' bonuses might be something to look into.
since you used barbarians for example,
lets say you have IK 5-piece.
5piece bonus 1: set bonus could be something along the lines of being granted a chance on hit to generate 35strength every x seconds for x seconds. (lasts x amount of seconds)
5piece bonus 2: immortal king's favor ( this could be allowed as long as the set is equipped) allows for duel wielding of 2 handed weapons. Comes with a movement speed and attack speed reduction.
While these sound very WoWish (because they are) it's at least bringing in something new..and I really wouldn't mind it.
They have sooo much potential with items to COMPLETELY change and diversify builds..its just a matter of them taking the time to realize it and get it on paper.
