As usual, the newest installment of The Diablo 3 Podcast is now available early for site Pals. Check this thread in the Pals’ Forum to get access, and if that’s not you but you want it to be, here’s where to support Diabloii.net. The podcast will go live for everyone early Tuesday morning, (hopefully) not long before Patch 2.3 goes playable on the PTR.
Patch 2.3 coming very soon to the PTR, so more analysis, including new and improved Item Set properties from datamining. Also T7-T10 scaling issues, shared LGems, and purist mode Hardcore? Featuring Aahz, N3rdwards, and Flux.

0:30 — Intro and why Aahz is stuck playing a Crusader this season, gay marriage, and heat waves.
4:45 — N3rdwards Wizard progress and Aahz defends the Crusader.
8:00 — Kanai’s Cube 3 items to boost current build? Power creep from Cube vs. removal of perma-CC abilities.
18:00 — With removal of Greater Rift keys (and the time to earn them in Wave of Trials) will just doing GRs repeatedly be OP in rewards?
24:00 — Torment 7-10 changes speculation. Scaling more per level than T1-T6? Keywarden (MachineWarden?) drop odds? What about drops that are 100% now in T6?
31:60 — Can Kanai’s Cube enable Legendary Gems shared account-wide? Do players want that?
36:30 — How about a purist Hardcore mode. No shared paragon/stash/LGems, etc. Ironborn Ironman HC?
42:00 — Infernal Machine reworked. HFA now socketed! Other changes not yet revealed?
46:00 — Datamined patch 2.3 item info. New sets for Crusader and WD look awesome. “Here I am, and you’re my Spider Queen, oh yeah.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3jFDhlXccE
59:20 — Why doesn’t Bliz do better teasing upcoming cool new content and patches?
1:02:00 — Monk set is OP and doomed to PTR nerfing.
