I am surprised they didn't apply this change to EXP bonuses on Legendaries.
Or the +100 xp per kill secondary.. lol
I was shocked it wasn't multiplicative before. Explains a lot though.
Shards still capped at 500?

So if one has the mojo that calls dogs every four seconds, can one still slot the buff dog as an active skill for a total of 5 dogs?

Can't believe I haven't seen any comments on source changes!
My mirrorball's dmg is now 363-442. WOW.

I used to do this. Super fun.
I can try it out later, I'm curious how all these will combine.
Unless you buy from her in non-torment difficulty?
Trying to get a good legendary Mojo was really hard previously because they had the same damage ranges as the yellows. I have ~10 in my bags thanks to Kadala having a better droprate for off-hands, can't wait to see what they all look like.

Yeah ... But it makes it easier for the set pieces one might want. Just don't gamble with your monk as their sets are poo poo.
I finally understand why the f*** that goblin never dropped anything for me, changing act for bounties! @_@

So Kadala can drop set pieces now? Damn.

So time to replace firebats? Anyone tested it out? What works best to spawn fetishes?

I messed around and went back to my old build before they buffed Blessed. It was shield bash with the holy rune. I swapped back down to a 1 hander (sun keeper) and swapped my jekang for another shield with high block and high crit. Then I put on the passive for getting 6 wrath from blocking and had provoke with the rune for 50% block and used punish as an attack. I was able to keep wrath up pretty high and it came in pretty quickly in big groups. I want to craft a good pira marella (however that's spelled) and get wrath reduction on that.
Not sure it really stacks up to what jekang and shattered throw was, but it's kind of fun.

Rain of Toads. I get so many more fetishes out than prepatch firebats.
My reactions when looking at the patch list:
*Oh cool there are more changes to the classes than in the leaks... let's see what we missed with the Monks.
*Sees that a few more spenders got the elements switched around.
OK that's not really what I was looking.
*Oh cool they buffed a ton of class specific items let's see if the Monks set items aren't completely shit now.
*Sees that they fixed the Inna set bug.. that's it.

Gonna be tough to come up with a fire\archon build using Vyr's. Gotta choose to give up cindercoat or magefists. But that's all I'm rolling for at Kadala now. I wonder how rare the set items will be....

They did.
They got the lowest changes among all the classes. They basically got a few bug fixes, their Spirit generators got their elements switched around and WoL got buffed (still inferior to LTK especially with GNK).
Basically Monks are in a "good place" right now according to Blizzard. They have fair and balanced end game set items.
LOL!
So these were retroactively buffed? Hmm maybe my Tal's won't be completely worthless now...
Relative to other classes they pulled the car over and threw us out the window.

The dmg on all existing sources got rerolled. So you may have gotten a buff. Apparently Scy's source got worse
I bet we'll see some people with 100+ fetishes with Rain of Toads + cyclone strike
It means if you reroll VIT on an item you can still get VIT and something else as possible enchants, but not both VIT and VIT.
This situation:
-> Reroll Vit 708
-> New Roll 1: Vit 666
-> New Roll 2: Vit 685
will no longer happen.

WAIT. Seriously? Does that include mojo's? Oh my I need to log in and check.
It's Mojos and Sources. Both my in-use ones rerolled to bottom-end damage when they were both near max before
And you're just assuming I'm underselling it because of that? I merely mentioned that losing the old AC hurts the viability of CDR-based builds. There's nothing to be inferred there that I'm somehow underselling or ignoring something.
Edit: Basically, the only comment was in regards to the 6pc bonus being less valuable now on paper. We'll see in execution how it goes for new kinds of builds that actually utilize most the Wrath-based bonuses of it (which may or may not have been the intended goal of the set in the first place, hence the CDR-based builds being nerfed~~~).

It's not new, I remember getting a green source weeks ago. Maybe there's more sets available now, if that's what you mean.
I wonder if a fire based blessed shield build will be viable with the slight buffs to fire based blessed shield.
I got two Magefists to drop last night so I may have to try it out.
She can now drop the class-specific set pieces, which previously were Torment only.

That was Chantodo's (or Tal Rasha's when she could erroneously give those out). Kadala can now give the Torment only sets (e.g., Vyr's, Firebird's for Wizards) when she could not before.

As someone who hasn't really played much of the monk, what exactly is wrong with them? From the little I did play, Exploding Palm & Seven-Sided Strike both seemed really good. Not trying to start a fight; I'm honestly interested to hear what the major problems are since monks seems to get more complaints than any other class.
This is big. I'm going to be dumping everything I can get into getting Marauder's boots from her now. Need that one piece for such a huge upgrade.
Nevermind scy, this isn't something worth arguing about.
Just tested ACrophet with the Indestructible passive. So what happens when you lose all your HP is that indestructible activates first. Then only when you lose your HP the second time after the indestructible invincibility buff wears off, then prophet is consumed. Pretty neat.
Also it doesn't seem they've fixed the long arm of the law passive not working with runes.
Tested a couple of other builds including Blessed Shield Combust with Fire Starter and it's kinda hard to tell how viable they are. They don't suck, but it's also not as easy to gauge how good they are without all the proper gear in place. Shield Bash still sucks for me though. Seems the same mechanically as before.

Need to test if flayer procs on the pierce toads but if it does the explosive toads small AOE w/ a cyclone and double pierce might proc the most w/ a 66% coef. Could potentially be really good.
