Blue Tweets Round-Up

With the reveal of Patch 2.3's PTR and lots of datamined information, there has been quite a few interesting tweets from both John Yang and Wyatt Cheng over the past couple days. They include their intent with Set reworks, clarifying Kanai's Cube doubts, and discussing how the changes to crowd-control may affect some classes' solo runs - and potential solutions.

I appreciate the torment changes, however Extra Damage and Extra Hit Points on monsters is hardly interesting.

T7-T10 aren't meant to be more interesting than T6 - they're just meant to be more appropriate for some players' gear levels. (source)

Wall of Zombies Changes

Huh, the Wall of Zombies changes are super interesting. Seems like the Diablo team liked the circle of Zombies from BlizzHeroes.

Definitely liked the BlizzHeroes version of Wall of Zombies. Works well in Diablo. (source)

The Cat Mojo

Helltooth comeback HYPE! ... John, what about cat mojo ? will be included in patch 2.3.0 ?

The Cat Mojo is coming in 2.3! Art and sound put even more work into it - it is absurdly cute. (source)

6P Sets Balance

So out of curiosity how hard do you intend on buffing archon damage so you dont need 5200+ stacks to be on par with tals and dels

Our goal is for all the 6-7pc sets to be competitive with other top sets. We'll tune their power level accordingly. (source)

Kanai's Cube and Set Items

Kanai's Cube can extract a power of set item (green affix) ?

Kanai's Cube can't extract set bonuses. (source)

CC Adjustments

The CC-effectiveness reduction changes hurt certain solo builds. This is known - we will be watching PTR to adjust as needed.
Wizard teleport and Crusader Sweep both come to mind, which rely on CC as solo play. It's sad but let's find cool solutions during PTR k? :) (source)
