Some new info about Season 2 as well:

Thing of interest (to me):

Grift
1. Monster density in improved
2. Death in Grift allow respawn at current location
- hate it when you have to walk 2 mins to get back to the Elite that kill you...
3. Conduit is staying! (dammit)

Ancient Items
1. Wow! I want these! All legendary and set will have Ancient-effect! Each legendary has like 1.5% to become Ancient on T1, increase to like 5-10% in T6 and higher in Grift.



Ruins of Sescheron
1. New zone - Remind me of my D2 LOD days...


New Armor Sets
Look damn cool! Where is Monk set! Damn you Bliz!



Nerf on Sunwuko
2P: Casting Cyclone Strike, Exploding Palm, Lashing Tail Kick, Tempest Rush or Wave of Light causes a decoy to spawn that taunts nearby enemies and then explodes for 1000% weapon damage.
4P: Enemies hit by the decoy explosion take 500% from your Cyclone Strike, Exploding Palm, Lashing Tail Kick, Tempest Rush or Wave of Light abilities for 3 seconds.

Sad cow is sad

Season 1 - Sweeping Wind fist weapon didn't get me excited about season at all...

But this new leg seem interesting:

i like the spawning at place of death. in my opinion it is fairer compare to current implementation.

currently, the map dictate if you can get a good checkpoint for respawn. you are required to scout for exit to next level, and if u lucky, thats near. very inconsistent.

ability to spawn at death location (and with more time increasing penalty if you die more), it is more consistent and will reward those who play carefully and don't die.
