as in they can explode multiple times depend on mp level?.. if mp5 then each explosion 1/5 of their life only... if mp10 then each explosion 1/10 of their life

mp1 explode once. normal dmg

mp5 explode 5 times , 5 x dmg.
mp 10 explode 10 times, 10 x dmg...

If I'm not mistaken, I saw fallen maniacs elite packs before, not in A3@Keep2.
I saw it in A2.

Yup. Encounter maniac elite before, wanted so much to kill all before they explode. If they exploded, no drop.

IIRC, they removed Fallen Maniac elite packs few updates ago. They used to spawn at Unknown Depth / Storm Halls

EDIT:
Yep, they got removed from the game 1.04

I hate that little pricks....especially hiding at doors

Lol. I just love ur little pics.. Especially when she hiding behind my door... Muahahaha..

Read this a while ago...taken from a fan site discussion

interesting research on low level legends...if it ever turns out the way they think its gonna be

sell all your current BiS legend now!!

especially mempo with Crit!!!

dont count the chicken b4 the egg hatch lolz ... until a blue post confirms the scaling of affixes for low lvl legendary dropped in inferno i dont think its wise to rush n sell all your BiS legendary
afaik .. the only blue post i read regarding this issue is they confirmed the base dmg & base armor will scale with ilvl .. nothing mentioned about affixes scaling with ilvl so far

to me cheap!

hope it will break the current trend of all class wearing the same BiS gears, more diversity in gear choices, also the chance of market being active again like when 1.04 launched.

p/s: well, gold price is suddenly increasing, any idea why? players buying cheap now to save for future spending ? or the gold sink is slowly taking effect ?

Just incase for those who miss it :


"Ask the Devs" Itemization Answers Part 1
Blizzard Tracker: March 20, 2013

The developers participating in this Q&A round include:


Wyatt Cheng, Senior Technical Game Designer
Travis Day, Game Designer
Don Vu, Associate Game Designer

We're doing things a little differently this time around and will be providing developer answers in several parts spread over multiple weeks. Below are the answers for part 1.



Q. Will all legendaries found on Inferno roll level 63 base stat values (armor and dps values) and level 63 "non-base" (affixes) stat values?

- Zoth#2543 (Americas [English]), Koric#1513 (Americas [English]),Hardhat#2565 (Europe [German]), sergeix #2204 (Europe [Spanish])


Travis: Yes, our plan is to handle Legendary items in a similar fashion to how we handle Rare items. Legendary items will roll at a level equal to the creature that dropped it. This means that, in addition to a Legendary’s stats rolling at the monster level, the base item stats will also roll at the monster's level. Right now, Rares don't work this way. Instead, their affixes roll at the level of the monster, but their base armor and weapon damage remain unchanged.


Q. "Love Leoric's Signet, but hate wearing a level 17 ring? Me too. Instead of farming Act II Normal to find a Leoric's Signet, let's go farm Inferno and get a level 63 version of the ring!"

Does this mean that every set and legendary item will have a chance of dropping in Inferno?

- Rowechelon#1918 (Americas [English])


Travis: Yes, Legendary and Set items will be valid drops from monsters at whatever point in the level range they are first introduced.

I have seen some people speculate over whether or not this means the experience bonus on Leoric's Signet will increase, and the answer to that specific question is "yes," but how each bonus on a Legendary or Set items scales will ultimately depend on the bonus itself. Some bonuses (such as the +EXP bonus on Leoric’s Signet) scale equally well from level 1 to level 60. On the other hand, some bonuses like procs that generate pets, or procs that deal damage effects, don’t always scale well as you get to the higher levels, but those will be changed wherever possible to scale with the level that they drop at.

Ultimately, we want to make sure the things that make Legendary and set items interesting continue to make them interesting at the end game, and in some cases they already do, so we just need to fix the other stats on the item.


Q. Will there any way for the players to have some control over the item stats. Such as implementing the mystic?

- Malkieri#1456 (Americas [English]), oraulo#2320 (Europe [German]),Goudru #1130 (Europe [French]), Djinn #2133 (Europe [French]), Blaine #2750 (Europe [Italian])


Don: Giving players more control and customization of their item stats is something we talk about a lot in our office. There have been a lot of ideas thrown around here and some great suggestions from the community, but we have not finalized any systems yet.

To give you an idea of what direction we're heading toward, though, here are just a few ideas that we're considering right now:

The ability to change a portion of a particular stat on an item to another stat of your choice
The ability to augment an existing item with a stat bonus of your choice
The ability to create an item with one or several fixed affixes—similar to the Rare recipes introduced in 1.0.7
We've also discussed adding other types of "socketables" with a wide variety of possible affixes that you can put in your socketed items instead of gems


All of these systems have their positives and negatives, so we want to make sure we make the right choice and consider all other changes we plan on making before deciding which systems we want to implement.

As far as the Mystic goes, she's a cunning lady. I’m sure we haven't seen the last of her.


Q. Where is my add socket?

- TwoCoins#1776 (enUS), Graupel#2865 (Europe [English])


Wyatt: When the game was in development, we the Blacksmith had the ability to add a socket to an item. Adding a socket makes the item better, so you pretty much always wanted to do it, and we found adding the socket felt like a small chore that didn’t actually increase the gameplay depth. You already need to insert gems to a socketed item, and felt having to add a socket as well would be a step too many.

With that in mind, there are still some gameplay benefits to adding a socket that we’d still like to capture. Although having to add a socket every time can feel like a chore, if there was a mechanic that made it a legitimate decision, that is something we could explore. Additionally, there’s something to be said for feeling more invested in an item—taking steps to improve an item increases your emotional bond with it, which is something we could definitely do better at.

So, to answer your question, it’s something that’s definitely on the table for the future, but it likely won’t be identical to the system that was in Diablo II or the early iterations of Diablo III.


Q. Will there be new craft-able items added in the future? I'm thinking weapons and/or legendary items...

- Cee#2572 (Europe [English]), Kiwi #2165 (Europe [Polish])


Wyatt: It’s hard to say for sure, but I don’t see any reason why not. As we revisit items in general, we’ll be looking at how crafting fits into the big picture, and it’s certainly possible that we’ll add more recipes at that time.


Q. So you have a plan to reduce the number of dropping items but increasing their quality. This will result in a smaller amount of items that can be salvaged into crafting materials for the Blaksmith, With this in mind – do you plan balance the amount of crafting materials gained from salvaging against the material requirements of blacksmith’s formulas?

- Agetriu #2991(Europe [Polish])


Don: Yes, we plan to take all of our future changes into consideration when balancing the amount of reagents needed for crafting recipes. We haven't decided on a number to reduce the number of drops by yet, so we can't go into specifics on how or if existing and future crafting recipes are going to change.

To be continued in part 2. . .

tahu pun this blizzard team...

what are they doing sometimes, man....

Wow! This is something!

"Travis: Yes, our plan is to handle Legendary items in a similar fashion to how we handle Rare items. Legendary items will roll at a level equal to the creature that dropped it. This means that, in addition to a Legendary’s stats rolling at the monster level, the base item stats will also roll at the monster's level. Right now, Rares don't work this way. Instead, their affixes roll at the level of the monster, but their base armor and weapon damage remain unchanged."

Suddenly, a lot of item seem viable for high level! Seem a lot of work!

ps: for those with a lot of gold, but still cannot buy a mempo with 6cc... Andariel's Visage will be just as good!
