Rogue – Orphan Maker (Unique Two-Handed Crossbow)

Inherent: +130% Vulnerable Damage
+4–6 Ranks to Marksman Skills
+2–4 Ranks to Exploit
+32–45% Chance for Marksman Skills to Diablo 4 Items Cast Twice
+125–170% Vulnerable Damage

Unique Affix: Basic and Core skills with this weapon, Reload. Reload Skills gain 250–300% damage, and every 2nd Reload Skill gains double the bonus.

Analysis:

The Orphan Maker introduces the new Reload keyword, giving Rogues a high-risk, high-reward system. Reload adds a delay before skills can fire again, offset by huge damage multipliers. On the PTR, players found the downtime clunky, making the crossbow unreliable compared to faster alternatives. Unless Reload gets tuned, this may stay niche.

Sorcerer – Galvanic Azurite (Unique Ring)

+12.5% Resistance to All Elements
+5% Additional Resistances
+5.2–6% Critical Strike Chance
+57–75% Lightning Damage
+8.1–8.8% Cooldown Reduction
+2–3 Ranks to Elemental Synergies

Unique Affix: Lightning damage magnetizes enemies, causing them to emit Crackling Energy and take 40–60% more Lightning damage. Magnetized enemies can pull each other together.

Analysis:

This ring is a game-changer. With Hydra builds toned down, Lightning Sorcerers are poised to dominate. Magnetized mobs that pull into each other synergize perfectly with Ball of Lightning and Crackling Energy setups. Expect Galvanic Azurite to D4 Gold for sale become a best-in-slot item for Sorcerers this season.
