I planned on doing the same thing... Like level up in adventure mode and only start act 5 when i am level 70 so that all of my drops will be level 70. I guess it won't be worth it if i won't be getting the guaranteed legendaries? Or is it only from Malthael in act 5? And if so, i sure hope he drops you a leg even if you are level 70.
Guys, it's not a 100% chance for a leg. Its a higher chance for a leg. Nothing is guaranteed. Except for Rakanoth, which currently works when you're lvl 60 too. But he's bugged.
I can confirm this as I have leveled a new barb on hardcore and I only got 1 legendary of an act boss.
And If i can recall it correctly, there's a blue post saying it's all currently working as intended. Except for Rakanoth.
yes yes, forgotten that blue had a post saying the virgin kill legendaries are not guaranteed.
It's 100% guaranteed for Act bosses except if your level is too high. A friend tried levelling to 60 in A1 then killing the Butcher, but it didn't work. If your level is too high, you won't get a legendary.
Stop trying to game the system.
I think every diablo 2 character I ever made I leveled it up to a high level then went back and did my skill / attribute / forge quests. As for the past 1.5 years the game has allowed people to skip mutliple acts worth of content as long as they partied with a higher leveled friend. In fact I am willing to wager that you have 'absused' this system as well. Of course people are going to skip content (especially now that we are handed all way points) and return to it after they have finished their character.
