Legacy Mjolner Owners Screwed

As far as I can tell, all Mjolners except corrupted ones can already be upgraded to the 100% proc ones. It's also the only item that has (ever?) retrospectively had a new affix added as a result of an un-nerf. Possibly this will also be applied to corrupted Mjolners.

I guess GGG have noted the community response to the death of a pretty legendary T1 weapon and done something about it. It is something of a symbol of the nerf :)

I only got mine after the nerfs started, and I got it cheap after a master mission, but it's still a very out there unique, and I put a lot of effort into building around it. The jury is out on whether it's still useful, but I'll take it for a quick spin when the league starts.

From the 2.6.0 patch notes:
The following changes cannot be obtained by rerolling the item's mods with a Divine Orb:

Mjolner: Now has the additional property Socketed Lightning Spells have 100% Increased Spell Damage if Triggered. This affects existing versions of the item.


So basically legacy mjolner owners can just vendor the thing now. From 50ex to 1c to vendor.
Just unnerf the legacy ones GGG...


?
I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)
Can someone explain to me why there are so many crybabies over an extra option that increased damage? As I understood, extra damage will be added to ALL Mjolners, including legacies, so why the hell are you all crying 'WAAA GGG SHIT WAAA MJOLNER VENDOR TIER WAAAA!!!!' ? Like, WTF?

Edit: not making fun of you or anything, I honestly want to know, I read the wikia page on it, still can't understand, is there something specific to Mjolner or some option that's not mentioned in there? I'm not a long time player.

Mjolner is just a symbol of wealth being turned to dust by devs.

I look forward to the future nerf, then buff, then nerf again.

Maybe one day GGG will stop screwing this up and decide on one change (and maybe a good change) and leave it at that.

As a veteran Mjolner player, allow me to explain to you:

In patch 2.4 Mjolner had an ICD (internal cooldown) added to its spells of 0.1s. (this means that you could trigger 10 spells/s). At this point the item was substantially weaker than it was before, but it was still usuable. This was also when they dropped a 35% less damage on discharge if triggered. And Mjolner managed to survive that by the skin of its teeth.

In patch 2.5, GGG changed the ICD of Mjolner to 0.25s for performance reasons (ie they didn't want to melt the xbone). This reduced the number of spells you could trigger per second from 10 to 4. That is a 60% nerf to damage and healing (via Kingsguard).

So you think a little 100% increased damage is supposed to make the item usuable again?
Mjolner would need a 150% MORE damage modifier to approach the workable 2.4 level.
Without reverting the ICD to 0.1s, it doesn't really matter if they put a little bit of extra damage on it. You'd be better off selfcasting your lightning spell, as you don't have to invest in STR and INT, and can cast faster and do more damage as a result.

Does that answer your question?

You know what GGG I would have actually preferred to sell the legacy one for 40ex yesterday and buy a non-legacy for 20c. It doesn't seem like happening NOW is it?

What's your goal?

Kill stuff? Then your main can easily get stronger now. +1

Trade and profit? Then you should have konwn by now the items drastically change every patch (which is obvious after reading just 1 main patch notes). You took a risk and it didn't pay off. Big deal.
