Even for melee, yeah. Maybe even especially for melee. I haven’t updated my gear since Vecna, so that’s definitely a factor in my excitement, but it looks super easy to Tetris and there are a lot of uncommon bonuses.

Edit: a couple of the artifacts look really, really good for melees too. And they aren’t rare. So if you’re having bad luck getting your Autumn Equinox, you can sub in Baphomets Reign instead, or if you really want the acid dot, Llolth’s Reign and shuffle some more stuff around.
Already upgraded to Lamordia/ MD and using Rocard bracer arti from raid so probably why no upgrade for me but looks so good for you 🙂

Never wasted any time farming the equinox because MD alone = nothing significantly better then what l had. (Vecna 8 piece + S/K + few others)

When Chill came out, it was the combo of the 2 plus what l had which ended up being a significant jump.

Pretty sure only rare item in my set is the Lamordia trinket for HP’s.

Where can you see the artifacts? I did not see them in the Lamania preview.

Just hit 11 today on my main in prep for the new expansion. Really hopeful, I don't want to say what's in my mind right now, but the Underdark should be a surefire hit if done correctly.

GLHF, we'll find out soon enough.

I forgot it was coming out next week, barring foreseen circumstances. Kind of excited to get back to the underdark. Hopefully they didn't lean into AI too much this time.
Is there any evidence or confirmation they have used AI for any content in the game?

Or any statement from devs about not using it?

AI will be the future of software development, and the quality of the result is what matters – not how it was created: by a human, an AI, or a combination of both.

1. I disagree strongly
2. Thank you for completely subverting and not answering my question

AI used well is good. AI used badly is not good. Pretty much like any other tools .

It is, however, very easy to use AI badly possibly even without realising.
A tool that strips you of your reference as to whether you are using it properly is a tool that should never be used.

I really dislike the practice of using something designed to produce plausible, convincing output, which actually degrades your ability to detect logical flaws. One that replaces your own creativity and is trained on stolen data. And is just so, so unnecessary.

What loot for melee is "insanely strong and exciting"? Most of the bonuses are the same as those on level 34 Chill gear and the craftable bonuses are too limited in choice, an issue that will only be amplified if they can't be overwritten. It looks like they've added some legendary-typed bonuses to offset the fact that the most of the standard bonus types don't increase between 34 and 35, but those require quite a bit of possibly untenable tetris to access, if I recall correctly. The artifact ring with legendary conditioning might be the only item worth the bother.
