For all those saying this is a standard only issue:
1. It's not. The 2.6 change affects all existing versions of the item, so people who own the item in standard will receive the additional modifier.
2. The buff to the item is not enough to get the item back to a usable state. Mjolner lost 60% damage in 2.5 when its ICD went from 0.1s to 0.25s. A local 100% increased spell damage is not going to help it get back to a level where the investment into the stats and items to use it will be worthwhile or comparatively strong.
The item is going to be just as strong in STD as it will be in the leagues. And that is not strong at all.
The reason this thread was necroed was to bring back up the issue that this buff isn't enough to make the item playable after the huge nerf it received in 2.5 (which was likely sadly due to the xbone version being in the works, as Qarl said the change was for performance reasons and they realized while making it that it would make the build cease to function).

I don't care, not even slightly... Nobody, especially not GGG, cares about standard. You should never be surprised or even outraged when some changes hit your oh so valuable legacy items.
Mjolner - 90 Ex
198/25 ST - 150 Ex
Shav - 100 Ex
Gloves - 105 Exalt
just came back to the game to see it all gone to @#$% but hey ...... the 100 -/+ Eternals i used to get it all (only 4 left) are now like 40+ Ex each ....... fun

All this ^^
Just wait until 3.0 comes when they make discharge a cast only skill making it useless with Mjolner.
I don't know how to begin, I started playing this game 2.5 years ago and mjolner was the the thing back then. I bought mine for 40ex at that time. The time it was rumored to be going legacy (not told exactly like reach of the council or voidheart) people started to buy it around 80ex. However, Coc builds became more powerful option in time (more than it should be) so legacy mjolner value didn't raise like legacy Kaom's heart did. Price remain constant around 40ex. And now legacy mjolner is piece of crap in a minute. I am sure GGG have their own point but thanks GGG with all my gear dependent on legacy mjolner, now I lost all my motivation to play the game.
FUNNIEST THING EVER
"Unique Item Balance:
Mjölner: Its chance to cast socketed lightning skills on hit has been increased from 30% to 100%. Use a Divine orb if you want your legacy one to change." 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?
Edit:
I have 4 characters above level 90 but my main build which I can enjoy endgame was legacy mjolner build and its taken away.
Main Point here is along with having a valuable legacy unique became crap suddenly, all the investments for this build (legacy vinktar, legacy saffel's frame, voll's devotion etc) is meaningless for me now. I spend all my time in this game to get these items and I feel cheated by GGG.
things change in a game, and unique reworks into being much better are part of it. arpgs are built on itemization after all
Granted Mjolner isn't as strong as it once was, I don't understand all the people who are saying its worthless. With my current build I am producing well over 100k dps. I'll welcome another 100% spell damage with open arms.
That being said, I am confused as to why Cospri's Malice didn't see a mod like this with the changes.

100k dps is not good when you take into account just how much investment mjolner requires.
3-4 months later when 3.0 drops all the shit you have now will be worthless anyway. GGG will go the same route that blizz took with RoS and add in higher ilvls w/ higher possible rolls
I really really hope they do! Over 3 years and we've barely seen any base item upgrades. Even longer if you started in the beta's.

What investment would that be? Volls Ammy? Its come down a lot in price.
My current discharge tool tip is 44500 at 6/6 charges. Ill probably be well into the range of 200k dps once the changes go live tomorrow.
