For those who still wish that Diablo III was more like Diablo II, you might want to hop into the game’s PTS and kick the tires of the latest season, which is bringing back Diablo II’s Ethereal items.
The PTS opened this past Thursday as announced, offering up the seasonal return of Ethereals along with some balance changes to the Monk’s Inna’s Mantra set, Crusader’s Aegis of Valor set, and the Necromancer’s Masquerade of the Burning Carnival set. To facilitate testing of these features, the test build will have increased Legendary drop rate, increased experience gains, and double Blood Shard drops, the latter of which can be traded in to a special NPC for class-specific bags full of Legendary items and Ethereals.
Testing will run for two weeks, so if you want to experience Ethereals in Diablo III, now is the time.
