I know everyone is focusing on the nerfs but there's still those slotted gems we're in the dark about. I'm thinking some of those might make up for these nerfs along with whatever season journey rewards we get. If everything stayed the same but then they added whatever these gems do then we could all well have been too strong making most of the content a breeze. At least that's what I'm hoping so I'm not totally put off for now.
Its hidden, but there's a link to them from the post. See them here: https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/diablo4/23976339/season-of-the-malignant-coming-soon?blzcmp=blizzard-news#Transmute
The "regular" ones look fine, but nothing crazy. A couple of the super ones seem potentially very powerful, but also some of them seem like trash.
It's a good theory, but...
A) these gems won't be on eternal so those characters are going to feel rough.
B) those new will be obsolete at the end of season 1
Because of these two points, they really shouldn't be balancing the game around these temporary season exclusive items.
