All Livestreams and Developer Updates
- Elemental Resistances are being overhauled to offer more use and survivability.
- A lot of changes are being implemented to old and upcoming Unique items to make them have more impact.
- Damage Buckets are being reworked to balance Vulnerable, Critical Strike Damage, and Overpower.
- Numerous balance changes and updates for all classes.
In Season 2, Elemental Resistances are now considered additive rather than multiplicative. This will remove the diminishing returns in the stats and will allow you to get the full amount of resistance you expect to get. Furthermore, Elemental Resistance will have more value to your total survivability per percentage.
However, to prevent players from reaching 100% Resistances, they now have a basic maximum cap of 70%, which can go up to 85% with certain effects. To go with this, changes to Armor and Jewelry Affixes are also being implemented to make reaching the maximum cap plausible for all players.
Also coming with the Elemental Resistances changes is a nerf to the Armor stat. In older updates, Armor is everyone's first choice since it can affect both Physical and Elemental Damage Resistance. In the Season 2 patch, Armor now only reduces incoming Physical Damage.
You will now see an abundance of unique stats only found on Unique items in Season 2. The aim of these stats is to make more Uniques relevant to the specific builds that they cater to.
Numerous stats found in Uniques are also increased to deliver more impact when using these items. This will bring about more damage compared to other normal gear.
Stats that are typically not found on specific pieces now more frequently appear on specific Uniques. This is to eliminate the damage loss from equipping certain Uniques in place of normal gear in offensive slots like the Gloves and Weapons.
The unique effects on most Uniques are also being improved to have more significance and more build-defining capabilities to further amplify certain setups.
How to Farm Uniques
Damage Buckets are getting huge updates, specifically changes to Vulnerable, Critical Strike Damage, and Overpower. Changes to these stats are as follows:
- Vulnerable Damage: x20%
- Critical Strike Damage: x50%
- Overpower Damage: x50%
Stacking tons of Vulnerable and Critical Strike Damage will no longer deliver extreme amounts of damage, as Vulnerable damage is fixed at x20% and Critical Strike Damage at x50%. The additional Vulnerable Damage and Critical Strike Damage you gain from other sources are going to be additive to your other damage stats.
Overpower Damage is also getting a rework on how it is being calculated into your total damage. Aside from that, it will now receive additional damage that scales with Fortify and Maximum Life.
A lot of changes are being applied to different classes, especially pertaining to Skills and Paragon effects that have an underwhelming impact. Each of the classes are also going to receive significant buffs that come in line with the changes being applied to the Damage Buckets and Uniques.
