to clarify, the only difference between an ancient and a normal legendary is its core stat budget? Not even the dps on a weapon, right?



If so, I'm ok with this. I'd rather find more normal Furnaces than before and have an impossible time finding an ancient Furnace since it's not really any better (on a weapon at least).

As a rule of thumb, all stats that aren't "percentages" are elevated by approx. 20%-30% on ancient items - including DPS. Stats that roll the same range on ancient items are critical hit chance, critical hit damage, increased attack speed, cooldown reduction, resource cost reduction, block chance, skill damage, and elemental damage. All those are percentages, and increasing those would "break the game". Most stats that are not percentages are higher though: all main stats (int, dex, str, vit), all resist and single resists, armor, damage range on weapons (note: only the additional damage roll will be higher, the base "white" damage seems to stay the same from what I've heard), average damage on mojos/sources, and so on.

It's a rule of thumb though, I'm sure there are some exceptions. Oh, and sockets stay the same - 1 on jewelry/helmet/weapon/off-hand, 2 on legs, 3 on chest.
