We’ve already talked about all the new Unique items coming with Season 9. However, Blizzard has taken the PTR data and implemented some more tuning for them.
The Changes
From seemingly minor tweaks like the increased radius of the Barbarian’s Cleave boots, to simple flat buffs to stats, bigger reworks like the Druid’s Pulverize poison puddles, complete stat changes like Crit Chance to Attack Speed for Sorcerer’s Hydra amulet, there’s plenty of changes to check out.
There are some Uniques below with no changes at all, but we included them in case you forgot everything that was coming.
