You apply them to your character. In the Kanai Cube, there are three boxes at the bottom that are associated with Weapon, Armor, and Jewelry. When you click on one of those boxes, it opens up the menu that I was talking about earlier. The menu is really just a grid of all the different effects that are available, and when you breakdown an applicable legendary, it will no longer be grayed out in the menu. At that point, you can apply it to your character.

When they say you're limited to three effects, that's really just 1 weapon, 1 armor and 1 jewelry effect. So, you would not be able to have Furnace + Thunderfury's effect equipped at the same time as they're both weapons, but you could have Furnace + Countess Julia's Cameo "equipped" at the same time, because they are a weapon and jewelry (respectively).


Ahhh okay thanks for breaking that down, I get it now. Well...I guess I'm going to have to choose a class to play soon so I can start re-learning all the legendary affixes again and plot my character out. Hrmm....

I read somewhere (I think a Reddit sticky) that supposedly Barbs and Monks are supposed to own 2.3? Have you been reading into this as well? I'm not terribly picky on the class I just want a generally strong one.

I have a feeling with the introduction of the Kanai cube, all classes will be able to own. People will find awesome builds for all classes. I can't wait to get home and play.

Also gotta get a season 4 char to 70 so I can get my mount for HotS.

One thing to add is that powers that have been retrieved are account wide, but you are restricted to equipping powers that you could normally use. In other words, if you couldn't equip the item that the power came from, you can't equip the power.

Honestly, I have no idea. I pretty much always play my Monk regardless. I'm actually looking to get Inna's set completed finally, and breaking down legendaries will really help with that. I don't really keep up with the "build meta", so my Monk is still fire based, and a Fire Monk will use Gyana na Kashu for the fireball effect when using Lashing Tail Kick. However, there aren't many slots that you can replace with Inna's other than maybe boots, pants, helm and belt. In other words, I can use the Inna's helm and get Gyana na Kashu's passive proc through Kanai's Cube.

When you say "account wide unlocks" i'm assuming this wont transfer over to seasons? I pretty much only play seasons. I have like 6 retired season chars all decked out ~350 paragon I think. Might tinker with the cube when I get home.

I haven't played since this latest patch has been released, but I feel I can confidently say that nothing transfers over to seasons.

The crusader is back with blessed hammer: Seeker of the Light set, Gabriel's vambraces, Johanna's flail and shield, Furnace 50% v. Elites Kanai passive!

Tested, as powerful as Roland's Shield Bash build.

Ugh...19 minutes until seasons. I am seriously leaning towards barb but....god I don't know. I am so indecisive about these things. This new cube mechanic changes so many builds...

Allright I'm going with the Monk, this 7 sided punch set looks awesome and it'll be different from my usual Barb. I've got the booze lined up. Wish me luck. I may get banned if I drink too much.

Made it to 45 with an old group of buddies, have to call it a night though. Hopefully tomorrow I hit 70 but..jesus it's such a grind. I mean I like the game, and I know it really soars at 70+ but getting there sucks. Rolling a monk BTW. My buddy rolled Crusader.

Funny thing is, we are already regretting rolling what we did. Wish I had gone barb, wishes he had gone Monk, hahaha. We'll see

Hm... I don't have a Furnace, so I'm currently deciding between the effect from Scourge or Vengeful Wind. Just trying to look at it math-wise, Scourge seems a lot better for a Fire Monk as that would average out to ~800% weapon damage every hit (considering it only has a 45% chance to activate). They're both AoE effects, but the one is guaranteed 100% as long as I keep up Sweeping Winds; however, if it drops, I have to get it back to six stacks. Albeit, that's not hard to do.

Hit 70 on my barbarian, played for 3 hours with friends on T3. I saw 3 legendaries drop, and 2 of them were class specific that I couldn't use. That wasn't fun.

How does reaper of soul compare to lord of destruction?

I played the heck out of LoD back in the day, but I'd never go back now that I have RoS and Path of Exile. RoS is the ultimate gear hunt for about a 15-20 hour stretch. You don't really have to worry about your character stats, it's all gear all the time. Path of exile is all about building your character. Gear is still super important, but you have to learn to navigate that skill tree.

I'll crush through season 4 in the next two weeks, then I'll go back to PoE for the next race season. LoD was amazing but these two games have replaced it for me.

Decided to finally roll a WW Barb, always played Wiz/DH.

1) Holy god is it awful to play WW barb before getting your 6 PC wastes bonus, you just don't add anything to the party.

2) Once you do get 6 piece Wastes bonus the game is a joke, I could probably close my eyes and just WW around and never die. On Wiz and DH mobs can still at least kill you even if you do have super high dps but make a mistake. There are no mistakes on Barb, you are immune to stuns with Ignore Pain up 75% of the time and as far as speed running goes 200% movement speed is more than enough to complete T8 and 45 rifts in under 2 mins.

3) As far as pushing the limits I'm sure it will get more difficult to make sure CDs are popped correctly and you are taking advantage of the CoE buffs.

True. Without any gear changes from 2.2 to 2.3 (except using the new Cube), I am able to clear GR56 no problem. IK4/WW6 build. I also have the +EXP gem in my helm. Survival isn't the problem at that level, it's DPS.

I'm working on a season 4 WW barb. He's only level 50 right now, but man I am excited to go for that wastes set. WW sounds legit with those pieces. Right now it's pretty weak as you said. I'm not doing that much damage.

I try POE on more than one occasion, I don't like it. It not that the game suck, it just that it boring. My favorite is still MU online.

Did that for season 3. So glad he is now out of season in my regular roster with even more paragon. Probably my favorite char right now.

Any WD's here? I just got the arachnyd's set complete (minus gloves), but I just cube rrog for now + I had ancent MK knife + gory fetch stashed, and the chicken run is fun as hell. The chicken explosion does a ton of damage, and you move at lighning speeds while you're a chicken.

Most classes are like that until they get a 6pc bonus or at least the 3pc bonus. I rolled a new DH for season 4 and the only reason I do any damage is due to a legendary affix that does some good stuff, but otherwise it's a lot of nothing. Sets are so ridiculous in this game now that there aren't any non-set builds that are viable.

RNJesus is taking a dump all over me this season. My barb is the only character I play, I'm at about 110 paragon right now, aiming for the WW set just like everyone else.

I've been thrown pretty much the entire IK set, which is okay, but I still can't crack T6 (my damage is huge, survival is crap). I need my 40% DR from the WW set. I've been thrown 12 pairs of set pants, and I've been spending every bloodshard I get on pants since I'm using Raekor's, and every single set piece I get is still Raekor's. WTF. The game needs internal mechanics to check what you have, and if you are spending that many blood shards obviously you're looking for something different, so nerf the chance you'll get the same stupid thing over and over and over again.

Still sitting at 1 piece of WW set when I am jumping into T6 games to hope to get carried and here comes paragon 30 barbarians with their WW set destroying me in performance. SMH.

On a better note, I did get a unity (my first ever) and I did find an ancient sword (forget the name, it summons skeletons and they explode) that's at 4000 damage so that helped. Still reaaaaaly need that WW set.

Buddy and I (monk) are clearing only rift 21's right now, mostly his carry.

Ulianas set is pretty good, 4pc is getting me through t6/t7 without much problem. I think I'm more intrigued by a support/hybrid monk of some sort for my friends groups than SSS though.

Is there a list of all the season chapter requirements? Once I hit 60 i'll finish the second chapter and so far they actually seem rather easy. (and better than the stupid achievement point one from last season)

Of course I could change my mind depending on what the final chapters require.

It's all pretty basic stuff you're almost bound to finish without even looking at them. Might have to go out of your way to kill a keywarden or boss on T1+ if you don't run into them during bounties but that's about it.
