So you could wear that Ancient Legendary pair of pants from your favorite set, as long as you don’t have enough pieces of that set to give you a set bonus. It’s a pretty substantial bonus all told - a 750% damage buff and a 4% damage reduction per ancient legendary you have equipped, as long as you don’t have any set bonuses from those items.

The Season of Nightmares, now with more Torment

One assumes that like Season 16, only Seasonal characters will get this bonus applied to them, but it really changes the way you play your characters - the more Ancient Legendaries you have, the more rewarded you’ll be for eschewing your set bonus to war them. Season 17 will be taking a cue from Season 16’s Season of Grandeur with the Season of Nightmates, which takes the set bonus from the Legacy of Nightmares set - Player’s damage dealt is increased by 750% and damage taken is reduced by 4% for every Ancient Item they have equipped while having no Set Bonuses Active - and applies it to all characters. But that’s not all - we’re looking at a host of changes and quality of life adds, including three new Torment levels and an additional 5 stash tabs.

And in that time, we’re going to be getting a lot of changes - including the Season of Nightmares, the upcoming Season 17 for players who enjoy the game’s Seasonal Play. Patch 2.6.5 will hit the PTR for a week starting on Friday, April 5th.
