Fans burned by Diablo Immortal excited by Diablo 3 season 27

pcgamesn.com:

While many longtime series fans have made the decision to quit playing Diablo Immortal, some of them aren’t letting that get in the way of their love of loot, and are instead looking forward to the Diablo 3 season 27 release date. The ARPG game’s newest seasonal update is getting some players excited with the release of the PTR preview and update 2.7.4 patch notes, which feature a new item called Angelic Crucibles that can apply unique class-specific sanctified powers to your build.

The biggest highlight from the Diablo 3 season 27 update that arrives on the PTR on July 12, Angelic Crucibles are artifacts that can be used to ‘sanctify’ any equippable level 70 legendary item. Sanctified items gain two specific benefits – firstly, they are reforged to have perfect ancient-level stats on all the item’s affixes while still preserving its legendary power. The real excitement, however, comes from the addition of one of three new, unique, class-specific powers to the sanctified item.

Each class has three sanctified powers to choose from. For example, the Barbarian’s first option causes whirlwind to pull in and hold nearby enemies. The second causes the powerful Hammer of the Ancients ability to hit in all directions and applies a shockwave effect to every seventh cast. The third generates Tempest Rhythm stacks when hitting enemies, which can then be consumed using Wrath of the Beserker to debuff all nearby enemies, causing them to take increased damage based on the number of stacks.

Among the other changes for the new season are the ability to access adventure mode by default on all accounts without having to complete the campaign first, which should be perfect for any new players who want to just jump in and start playing.
