The 1% droprate never went to live, it was only 1% in the very beginning of the PTR when ancients were introduced. Some people kept track over hundreds of drops (there were spreadsheets shared a while ago on Reddit) from which we believe it to be something between 0.2% and 0.4%, though it seemed to have converged towards 0.2%-0.25%. Do you have a source for the .3% datamine? That'd be interesting.

I believe the 1% drop rate might have been for the original version of them. 10% chance for an ancient (10% chance) to roll primal. But that was when they weren't perfectly rolled ancient items, but rather were an item that could roll EVEN HIGHER stats than a regular ancient. Basically, primal ancients were originally meant to be to ancients as ancients were to regular legendary items when they were first introduced. Their worst stats would be better than an ancients best stats.

They probably nerfed the drop rates as they no longer became necessary.

In Japan its like 1700 Yen. What a big number. Wouldnt buy anything in Japan if i were you.

1700 YEN?! WTF! Man I could totally sell my account for like... 2,000 dollars right? Cuz that's how money works. Just sell it to a Japanese guy they're obviously loaded with that high of a number.

The sharpshooter suggestion seems odd to me. I can't honestly think of something I like better however. I thought of a couple things but they would just change the playstyle too much like Sharpshooter removing all crit chance but for every enemy you hit, your crit chance is increased by x%. That would negate crit chance on gear which would be weird and I'm pretty sure the changes to one with everything is proof that blizzard doesn't want a class that physically has a way to negate one or more stats.

Sharpshooter has always been about crit chance but the changes to Awareness proves that the original concept can change easily as long as the purpose remains the same. So feel free to go outside the mold based on maybe something DH's are lacking offensively. Crit chance and damage isn't exactly an issue and upping those seems unneeded. Of course we could always use more crit damage but something that just boost crit damage is... well boring and I don't think Sharpshooter is strictly a passive that is supposed to increase damage. I feel the original design was much more strategic than something like archery. Anyway I think I'm rambling... So I suppose my point is maybe look back at your list and make some changes to things that you've decided to keep similar just for the sake of being similar. Maybe sharpshooter could work with... uhm... Certain skills perhaps. Maybe some kind of bonus to "single target" abilities or mainly just abilities that require them to hit their target to be effective. Stuff like multishot and cluster arrow DO obviously need to hit but you can kinda shoot in general directions and still do damage. Stuff like impale you cannot.

So with the new legendary gems coming out and only being socketable in rings and amulet sockets, what exactly do we get rid of? With crit chance and crit damage being so valuable that really only leaves either dex or %ele damage on the necklace. I'm guessing rings are a little bit easier since they don't give %ele damage, but is the best option then crit damage/chance/dex/socket?

Thanks
