We're currently playtesting the new monster mod system to determine this. At the moment it's 2-4, but this may change as we continue to iterate.

These are new mods that have similar themes to old ones, but have new balance values. In many cases these are the same as before, but we're evaluating on a case by case basis. It's mostly the weaker secondary mods that need to be juiced up so that they make sense as a standalone mod.

Rare monsters never received additional damage per incremental mod, and the only defenses they received was a life bonus (on top of whatever the mod actually did of course). Under the new system, they will get life, experience, item rarity and quantity bonuses per additional mod.

No.

Pantheon mods still exist but are very rare.

This makes all monster fire damage ignite, so it makes all your fire damage ignite if you steal it.

Mods will not be able to stack (as many can't function when stacked). There are more mods to steal, which is a buff to the upper end of Headhunter gameplay.

Not yet.

If you're able to sacrifice character power for magic find then, you'll find more and better items. That was true before 3.19 and is the nature of magic find in Action RPGs. Note that magic find has diminishing returns, so a small investment can go a long way.

We're still working on this, but we can confirm:

• Only some of the new rewards are conversion ones
• We are removing the undesirable ones like conversion to flasks
• We are trying to make the rewards from rare monsters not so all-or-nothing

We are still iterating on these systems and don't want to set expectations around this in either direction just yet.
