I think I joked about Elder Legendaries before. Must be careful about my jokes from now on.
I share sheepster’s worries to some extent. But I’m relieved to see that mythical versions aren’t that much more powerful stat-wise. Still, I quite liked that all 50 to 75 legendaries were roughly the same power level, and it’s a given that some of the legendaries are becoming outdated due to this change. Also I predict an influx of builds that require very specific items to shine. It’s hard to recommend anything to beginners even as it is now, but with this change I’ll just say to newbies: “Guys, for the first 500 hrs don’t even bother checking the compendium”.
