Really awesome stuff in this batch. I still hope a lot of those item passives aren't just on rings...my theory, they're just put on Rings to make testing easier, and they'll be distributed appropriately to legendaries in other slots.
That much was stated on the 1st or 2nd batch of datamined stuff.
I'm sure it was. Like many others, I just want to be sure, and one of the few methods of that is seeing it all go live in 5 or so months.
i like the passive with block, but no wizz or WD will use it - you cant expect to trade 50% dmg for that, but ill do crusader for sure with 2H and shield
It's all a matter of what skills you choose, how the cooldowns are affected, and what exact item it appears on. If this kind of affix appears on a Shield (which it seems suited for), I'd love a reason to throw a high block chance Shield on a Wizard. Though, it could just as easily appear on a Helm or even an off-hand.
Honestly, I think that's a big part of what Loot 2.0 is trying to accomplish...getting people out of a mindset that just because their damage NUMBER goes down, there are skill choices that can likely make up for it. Damage per SECOND might go down, but depending on what skills are getting their cooldowns reduced, it could make for better utility over longer-term battles, better survivability, etc. I doubt an affix like that will stack, so I'm sure putting other legendaries on other slots will have plenty of opportunity to make up some of that gap.
Looking good. I like how no info at Blizzcon and blue posts stating we don't know anymore about ladders, next week "Ladder" strings in the datamining files, haha.
Someone posted earlier about DE's still being used in RoS, I hope so. I've been hording all of mine waiting.
CE looks very promising too.

They aren't -announcing- anything about ladders. It's obvious they are interested in the idea and are playing around with it. Just because it's in the datamining doesn't mean they will actually do anything with it.

True. Either way no complaints here. RoS is looking good.

I dunno, I don't really like "all cooldowns" type effects. They just seem too powerful. The only one that feels okay is Grave Injustice, b/c that only triggers on monster death. Maybe diminishing returns? Maybe a minimum floor (say 20 seconds for Wrath or Archon or other God Mode button)?
I really hope they are removing a lot of gem tiers in addition to adding new ones. Currently 15 gem tiers is WAY to many as it is. There is currently no point in picking up anything less then flawless squares...even when replaying the game as a new character.

Right, they are toying around with a ladder checkbox variable because they might not use it. Dude, you aren't a smart-aleck, are you?
Sometimes. Wasn't intending to be just then.
There's lots of PVP stuff in the datamining as well, but they don't seem intent on actually doing anything with PVP this expansion.
"Picking up gold grants experience." = mega win
"Companion calls all companion types to your side." = This will be interesting to play with.
"Sentries cast your hatred spenders." = I'm excited about this one!
"You are immune to Desecrator, Molten, and Plagued monster types." = This sounds too good to be true. I bet it will come on something without primary stats.
"Enables all Archon runes." = damn...if only they were keeping perma-Archon.
"When you die, a meteor falls from the sky and revives you. This effect has a 300 second cooldown." = This will be nice so you don't have to run back, but it's not a game changer.
"2% chance on killing a demon to gain a random Shrine effect." = I wonder if this will include just the regular shrines or the Nephalem Rift OP ones too.
"Earthquake_Set_x1 - Earthquake Set" = I wonder if this is going to be a new armor set that improves the Earthquake ability of the barb.
