New legendary item will bring some bright spot to 1.04. To save develop time, they give monster's ability to some new legendary items. I won't say it is a bad idea. But some effect will confuse players when they are in a group. Such as "on fire" . How players know the effect comes from monster or friend when they encounter with elite with the same ability? Is there color different? From their demo video, I don't see any different. Will these effect also do Dmg on your friend?

The effects from Legendary procs will not damage other friendly members of your party. There are quite a range of proc effects we’ve added, and while some share similar visual effects with monster affixes, we tried to ensure that there was a visual distinction as much as possible. Also, there are quite a number Legendary procs that haven’t been discovered yet, and many are rather … interesting.

Take, for instance, this lovely ring:

Puzzle Ring (Ring) - This ring gives heroes a chance to summon a Treasure Goblin when they’re hit. The tooltip will be something along the lines of: "This ring sometimes calls forth a Treasure Goblin when you are hit."

…I bet that will prove to be entertaining during a boss fight. ;)

"We wiped on the butcher today because 3 goblins spawned and everyone chased a diferent target. All 3 got away." lol, it actually does sound fun though.


Well, perhaps you or one of your friends could offer the Butcher a piece of your mind by using one of his special attacks against him!

The Butcher’s Sickle (1h Axe) – This item will now give players a chance to cast the Butcher’s sickle attack, dragging enemies to them. The tooltip should read something along the lines of: “X% chance to drag enemies to you when attacking.”

I suspect such an item would, at the very least, be appealing when chasing down those rogue Treasure Goblins. ;)
