A bizarre change to the best loot might need some major tweaks before it goes live. For the first time in a while, I'm not so sure about Diablo 4's latest loot experiment. The prevailing complaint about the current season in Lord of Hatred is that Blizzard made the benefits of its strongest items too random compared to what we had in previous seasons. While Blizzard is working on a solution to that in its next season, it's also leaning even harder into uncertainty by gutting the only items we could really rely on. Mythic Uniques, Diablo 4's rarest and strongest items, will no longer be Mythic Uniques at all for season 14: Mythic will instead be a variant for all the Unique items in the game. Basically, this means the items that were once the ultimate tier of loot—and came with guaranteed stats on them—won't exist anymore. Instead, Mythic versions of Uniques will occasionally drop and can be created through the new crafting system introduced in Lord of Hatred. Mythic Uniques won't have set stats, though, nor will they have new skill-enhancing powers on them. The only difference between a Mythic Unique and a regular Unique will be that the stats on them are locked to their highest values. Theoretically, this solves the problem where some old Mythic Uniques were ignored because of their mediocre stats. There's a staff that randomly gives you powerful shrine buffs (periodic explosions, unlimited mana, etc.) that nobody used because the stats on it weren't particularly good. With the changes in season 14, it's possible you'll find one or craft one that might work for your build. Might. The biggest issue I see with this change is the loss of knowing your desired Uniques will be powerful the moment you see them drop. Every top build uses the Heir of Perdition helmet for the surplus of rare stats on it and its whopping 80% damage boost. When you see that helmet drop, you know you're about to become a god. In season 14, though, Heir of Perdition will only have movement
