Patch notes

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/14569138/patch-210-ptr-patch-notes-6-25-2014

Probably this weekend. Might be on before to test a few things, but greater rift tests and such will have to wait til afterwards due to other commitments.

Depth Diggers
Legendary Power added
All resource generators deal 80-100% more damage
MM+conflag says hi. Also that lightning+frenzy proc barb. Pretty cool effect. Would probably open up a few new builds as well with the generator buffs all around.

Bastion's Revered
Legendary Power added
Increases maximum number of Frenzy stacks to 10

Does this change anything? 150% attack speed and 25% damage with Maniac active. Even a twohander will be attacking scarily fast with that much attack speed(somewhere in the 3.0+ range?).

Plenty of other changes.

Holy shit the new legendaries. Monk one is absolutely useless, but Barb seems very, very strong and both the crusader legendaries are nuts. You can either shotgun, or explode for ludicrous, ludicrous damage, or go full lordcommander with an army.

A new Legendary consumable has been added
Ramalandi's Gift
Use on an unsocketed item to add the maximum number of sockets that item type allows

Holy shit. Does this mean you can get like a 5 primary item, or 6 on like gift of silaria(I have a 2700dps one in stash, just doesn't have socket)

Im a bit conflicted about that consumable. while it does allow a lot more flexibility on your gears now, depending on the drop rate, it might make it even more frustrating as getting a socket roll normally is just as bad as affixes like area damage or life regen, and the only way to fix it is to find something with a very low drop rate.

it may even allow you to enchant one of the affixes and then apply ramlandi's gift to socket. so, in essence, you get two enchants on one item!

edit: just theorycrafting, but imagine a SoJ with great rolls and a socket for the new leg gems.... sexy.

this patch basically changed the game's balance target from "do some torment efficiently" to "do t6 guys". it's interesting and i welcome the power creep.

Im pretty disappointed they took out the "Arcane Sanctuary" level from Rift runs. While it was badly designed I felt like they didnt have to completely scrap the entire level. Rework it a bit or w/e. It was one of the few levels that just barely reminded me of the good ol' days of D2.

Or just make a completely new Arcane Sanctuary exactly like D2 again. Yea I can totally get behind that. It was seriously my most favorite level.

Is there a way to avoid downloading the whole game again to play the PTR?

Depth Diggers

Does that count for elemental arrow with kridershot?

Well you can dupe items on PTR currently. Move an item from a slot to a new slot, re-enchant it, and you'll get a base version and the reenchanted version.

Well there's a USA teamliquid clan on the PTR already, unless that was carried over from the main game

The Awareness passive for DH now works similar to NDE. Restores you to 50% hp and casts smokescreen automatically.

Tried one greater on WD(mediocre geared pet), made it up to 25 with a REALLY easy rift(fallen, grotesque etc). ~~Failed 26~~
Nope, finished with just over a minute left. I think I'll fail 27 for sure though. Yep. Took like 23 minutes.
