Interestingly enough, these types of changes favor map hackers even more...
When you have a game with various layers of RNG, removing 1 layer will just make the remaining layers more relevant.

Edit: To elaborate on why i dont like this change:

I think adding vendor recipes should be done to balance racing, not just for the sake of removing RNG.

Now everyone gets a good weapon to farm Docks. So now you want to roll attack speed on your gear.
Should they add a recipe for attack speed?

If you start reducing RNG layers, ultimately it becomes: "i didnt get X" where X is the only thing you need and aren't guaranteed to get.
So instead of "i was lucky here and unlucky there", its "i needed only this one thing, and i didnt get it"

I might be wrong about this but idk...we'll see...

Made a rare rustic recipe bastard sword at 12 in the recent 1h, go to equip, lvl 18 required. FFS. RNG then refused to drop another lvl 12-13 weapon until lvl 18. Using a blue longsword in sins was good times, new recipe really paid for itself!

Anyway i doubt the recipe will cause people to just whine for attack speed suffixes or whatever, since its still nowhere near as good as a proper rare roll. Otoh not potentially being stuck with white or equiv weapons for half the race is a welcome change, as is being able to force a +1 wand before the second half of act 1.

I thought the wicked affix was level 23. It only required 18?

A modifier will increase the required level of an item to 80% of the modifier's level if that value is greater than the level requirement for the base item.

Bring back the old cleave, leap slam and spectral throw are far more overpowered than Cleave ever was.

This is also a buff to bows, and in fact much more of a buff since it's a lot less likely you'll get a good rare bow than a good rare 2h weapon of some sort. I think this is exactly what RoA needed to become less of a huge gamble.

80% of 23 is 18.4, so I guess it rounds down to 18.

Why do they keep buffing 2 hand users. Seriously I don't want to play dumpster spectral throw or Leapslam to be competitive.

Its dumb they completly neglect one hand users and casters every fucking season.
