Dying Breath
The radius of the Auras has been increased to 75, to be the same as Leer Cast.

Will existing Dying Breaths have the aura radius automatically increased, or will I need to use a divine on one if I wish to gain the extra radius?

This whining of people who don't own any of the more expensive items and then want the change applied reactively PISSES ME OFF.

I play this game since years, and so far a single Mjolner dropped, which I kept and spent almost all currency I had to make a build with it.
When a Shavs dropped, I sold it, kept some exas back for bad times and bought a Windripper, since all Imperial Bows I find are fucking Lioneyes!

And now you want those items one has worked hard for turned into mediocre crap...in STANDARD, where most people use their superbly crafted rares instead of uniques??

Play your leagues and be good with it, but don't think they are only super-rich standard players. There is also a whole lot who played many many hours to finally gain some good items.

well GGG will never see my money ever again,
I will still play but i wont "invest" (lack of a better word) into Path of Legacy Items ...


Nerf them all or nerf nothing !


Edit: Not really salty here, i own the only legacy item i care about! (Windripper)
But GGG should grow some balls

Would you please explain why? I own a full XP set:

I tested this shit about 2 years ago and it was horrible. Since then these items collect dust in my box. Using these items slows your clearspeed down so much that you end up with less xp per hour than playing without these items. I really do not get why ggg nerfs these already horrible items even more or why anyone would ask to remove them?

still dont understand that legacy thing. If there is reason for rebalancing unique item (for example being OP) whats the point of not applying that change retroactively to all versions of the item. Is it too hard or what?

Basically any mod that is not completely unique (On the scale of Leech Applies Instantly on Crit, not +1000 Life) or is a rebuilt mechanic (Leech), you can't change the mod without changing every similar mod or taking down the servers for several hours if not several days. Since there's no real incentive to remove legacy items and lots of backlash for removing them, especially after they have said they will allow legacies in the legacy leagues, on top of a lot of downtime, it's not going to be done.

This is why Lightning Coil went Legacy (Leech-ifying it would wreck Cloak of Flame), Cloak of Defiance (MoM Corruptions would be affected), and why the Mjolnir change may result in a legacy (Looking at Aegis Aurora for a unique chance effect). Since it is a one-of-a-kind mod right now, they could change it to be 3/5ths effective like they are doing with leech. Before the leech change our precedents were all legacied, but now we do have precedents for both.
However:

"

Please note that, unless otherwise stated, these changes will only occur upon divining an existing item, or upon picking up a new one as of the launch of The Awakening.

you should be happy you found 2 top tier items in a year .... many played way longer and never found one. Also your items don t get changed.
Some of the nerfes were quiet necessery you should not be able to basicly 1shot everything in a 6 player party on 78maps with a mijonor and just average other gear (no matter how much work you need to put into it to work). The fun is that you still need to be careful and don t kill everything just by looking at it or imagine you got a 10k life + 10k flat phys dmg chest on and tell me how much fun it is after 1h on maps ....

It works best when you have a group carrying you and not solo exp'ing.

LOL Path of Legacy strike again! should we make legacy league next? :p

This legacy XXX is horribly ridiculous. Look at the cesspool that is standard now because of it :(

The worst way of penalising new players ive ever seen. Impossible to get any friend to try this game in a permanent league because of it. :(
