tbh, the best (And simplest) idea I had to make Primal Ancients work is this:
When a primal Ancient drops, the stats on the item are decided... And then set to their maximum amounts.
Basically, EVERY Primal Ancient that dropped would be perfectly rolled, the only RNG in it would be the stats that rolled on your item (and yes, re-rolling stats at the enchanter would all roll max as well. The item ranges on the equipment would ONLY be he max amount).
Basically, it's an RNG way to get rid of RNG... Instead of adding another layer to it.
So rather than hoping a legendary drops, hoping that legendary is a Primal Ancient and THEN hoping it rolled well, as soon as you see it's a Primal you'll KNOW it's a good drop.
The drop rate would of course have to be pretty small, to stop people getting perfect gear within a week or something, but I think it would be a viable way to make Primal's an upgrade without getting too heavy on RNG or Powercreep. They're not stronger Ancients, they're just... Perfect ancients.
EDIT: I F***ING CALLED IT! Blizz just totally stole my idea Primal Ancients are now perfectly rolled.
Welllllllllll. This is awkward. Lmao.
I know right... I mean, they even took the rerolling part...
I expect a cheque in the post any day now, or at least a full primal ancient set for my Thornsader.
