Same here, but we'll have to see how exactly the cube will work, if it'll not have restrictions like 1handers to 1handers, 2handers to 2handers. Right now we can only guess, and when they release the PTR we can give our feedback if a combination like Furnace turns out to be mandatory.
I really hope the devs make it balanced so that we are not gimping our DPS too much by using other cubed weapon passives.
Also I salvaged the 1 Furnace I found after months of playing and don't know when I'll find another. lol
I feel you, they are indeed rare!
However, a blue post said you can only put items found AFTER the patch in the cube collection. So no need pre-patch hoarding!
Ah, I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand I don't feel so bad that I salvaged my non-ancient Furnace. On the other hand, I was looking forward to extracting powers from all the items I've been hoarding :-)
No. Furnace will still be a big player in weapon choices/cube passives, but many other options will suite the expectedly high number of variant builds that will evolve quite quickly.
Off the top of my head; Monk with cubed Flying dragon passive and Little Rogue DW weapons. My mind is racing with options. This cube thing .....man, where the hell has it been for 3 years?

i think im going to use gyana-na-kashu just so i can shoot fireballs everywhere
Lol thanks. I've had it for a while. I'm DomonKassui#1611 in main forums. Gundam fan?
Only G, becuase all the other ones (except a couple i cant remember off hand,) are all too serious. G Gundam doesnt take itself serious, and thats what makes it amazing.

Haven't seen a blue post for that, however I am 90% certain that is what they will do anyway, they have said in the past they don't want to create a culture of hoarding, not wanting a "just in case" player choice.
What you're doing right now is hoarding though. You're hoarding until the cube arrives. It will almost definitely be for new items only.
It would be unfair for new players or players that haven't played recently, since you'll have 95% of all bonuses in the game on day 1. None of that is good game design. I'd be quite surprised if Blizzard gives retroactivity on this, though I suppose it's not impossible.

not really though? since that really would only affect seasons, and seasons everyone starts fresh anyway.
Cant find any info on needing to find the legendaries after the patch to be able to put them in the cube.
Maybe you are confusing this information with the Kanai Cube
For all you dedicated loot hunters, we’re also adding lots of shiny new Legendary and Set effects to the game. Aside from doing this through introducing new items, we’re also revamping special effects on some existing items, and granting new effects to some items which don’t currently have one. As in other patches, changes to Legendary items are not retroactive, so you’ll need to find them once more to use their updated form. Overall, this should result in more build options for you to explore.
It's not like all the legendary powers are already in the cube once the "old" players get it.
There's still a fair amount of grinding to do just to extract 1 power. See this part:
Extract Legendary Power - Archive of Tal Rasha
1x Legendary Item with Special Power
1x Khanduran Rune
1x Caldeum Nightshade
1x Arreat War Tapestry
1x Corrupted Angel Flesh
1x Westmarch Holy Water
5x Death's Breath
I speculate that we have to do bounties in all 5 acts just to unlock 1 legendary power.
Anyway, it would be cool if the cube works for items we already have in the stash, but I would also understand if it will only work for new legendaries that drop going forward.
Back on topic:
Is cubing Furnace OP in the first place? Guess that's what PTR will help us answer.
...regardless of build.

The only furnace I found with my barb was during Earthquake set times, it rolled INT. I wanna eat it with the Kanais cube so badly >.>

you want to link to that blue?
Do you happen to recall where you saw that? I've not seen any official response on that issue and I've been wondering.

I can't find a blue quote anywhere that says we can only cube new items.
I'm still hoping I can cube all the "cool but not enough item slots for it" items in my stash.
same. i have 4 bank alts and a completly full stash just waiting to be nuked to hell.

the fact that one player would have more legendary effects off the bat then another player.

That doesn't matter much, since all players have non-season chars, but not all will have S4.
I simply don't see a reason, why Blizz won't make it a collectible first.
