"What we want to avoid, entirely, was Diablo 4 Gold at which there were these Legendaries - largely left from vanilla - which didn't have some added Legendary affixes. It can be something that's more useful to builds across all classes or even something very specific. ''``There's a Barbarian mace that alters your Upheaval to create a fiery subject of effect," Luis continues. "That's an example that changes a very particular agility, and we can see it getting a build-specific bit for the Barbarian class. But we will have a combination."

It's here where we can view Diablo 4's loot doctrine carry over but also see how it will evolve and change to match Diablo 4's layout. Items won't simply concentrate on skills like items with affixes in Diablo 4, there's a feeling of diversity driving the design. The Stone of Jordan in Diablo 4 adds Skill Points to all abilities and the design staff is seeking to avoid creating ways or pre-defined builds to perform leave those decisions up. Maybe the biggest difference compared to loot in Diablo 4, is the way the game will treat Set Items. The be all end all, by ensuring they're not.

"We feel like with Diablo 4 it got into a place where you couldn't really play your build, your manner," Luis admits. "It was essentially, you are likely to select one of those four sets and that is it. We're making sure that sets do not predominate in Diablo 4." To achieve this the staff has a solution that is very simple, be sure Legendary Items are the powerful option. With hundreds being designed and refined and added to the match, create diversity that is true determining how you may want to play and which fosters player creativity.

Another piece of the puzzle is that the re-introduction of Runewords with cause and effect Runes that may socket into things options are built by adding nuance. "We feel like using Diablo 4 it got to a place where you couldn't actually play your own build, your own way. It was essentially, you're going to select one of those four sets and that's it." An approach which extends to the staff will balance the loot and fine tune development and the speed of cheap Diablo 4 Items. Although specific details aren't offered.
