Dear Community,
Just wanted to know if anybody has heard rumours about the 1.9 changes to wands (+healing, damage).
Quoted from the patchnotes:
"Incorrect amounts of abilities such as Attack Power, Increased Fire Damage, or Increased Healing Damage were being applied to all random item property world drops. Two handed weapons such as Staves had much lower amounts of these abilities, while ranged and one handed weapons had too much. All further drops of these items will have the correct amounts, but previously dropped items will not be affected by this change."
This means:
If you have a wand with "+21 fire damage" now it will keep it stats. It will not be changed to "+11 fire damage" with the upcoming 1.9 patch.
It also means that "+21 fire damage" wands will not drop anymore once 1.9 is live. Thus making the old ones more valuable. Same goes for +healing or other +dmg.
Not sure if this is going to be implemented blizzlike (old ones keep it, new ones do not) or if elysium staff just changes all retroactively? Or maybe not change it at all?
Thank you for your reply,
Iolone
