Kanai’s Cube raises a lot of questions(1)Category: GeneralJune-23-2015 12:59 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
For example, if I were to extract the power of 4 immunity amulets, can I become immune to 4 out of 6 elements?
Probably not...

As a WD will you be able to use both the Jeram and the Carnevil effect?
Sounds cool, but also OP.

Are there gonna be any limitations? There's gotta be some...
==============================================
Thanks a whole lot for all the clarifications ^ ^

Question.

Is Armor ARMOR, or ALL armors? Bracers/Gloves/Etc


The armor slot for Kanai's Cube currently encompasses every slot except weapons and jewelry. So, for example, the cube could give you the Legendary power from Lut Socks, or Leoric's Crown, but not both.

I'm really excited for you all to get your hands on the cube during the ptr but in the interim I'll help answer some of the outstanding questions that are lingering.

question is... can you use the hellskull passive while not using a shield?


Yes you can!

So now, I'm wondering how the game will track Legendary abilities that have roll ranges? Store all the ranges you've melted down? Over-write with the best one?


Powers that are extracted into the cube are extracted at their maximum power.

OK, so a monk could (for example) suck the leg power out of a Flying Dragon, a Julia's Cameo, and a Crudest Boots; freeing up those slots for other goodies (including going full retar.... err, full Inna's EDIT: and dual-wielding fisticles, for example?


That's 1 weapon power, 1 jewelry power, and 1 armor power. Make it happen!

So items that require a shield block to proc can still proc if they are not using a shield? Does it become an on hit proc? That's incredible.


Hellskull increases damage while wielding a 2h weapon. That power can be used without requiring a shield to be equipped. If you want to trigger an on block effect from a power you will need a way to block or it won't be able to trigger.

Follow up. Earlier Grim mentioned Leoric's Crown which begs the question: How does that work? It relies on specifying a gem type. Does it prompt the user to pick which gem type the effect should boost when selected? Similar situation with the Broken Crown. Does it require the user to have a gem in their helm and that is what is used in the passive effect?


In both of these cases it will give you the benefit based on whatever gem you have socketed into your helm.

Travis, thank you for this clarification.

This leads me to a question though. Does this mean that the cube will store every item sacrificed to it and you choose from a drop down list what passive you'd like to use?

If so, the stash saving applications for this item are incredible and the ability to find a usable ancient weapon for your class / spec has effectively doubled.

There are other concerns though with longevity being slightly impacted but that shouldn't pose much of an issue.

However, if the item only stores the power for the last item fed to it the hoarding problems have been greatly exacerbated.

Could you clarify how selecting a passive works?


The primary function of the cube is to serve as a collection system to allow you to accumulate powers from items and then assign the powers you want to use. This has a lot of benefits one of which is hopefully to help free up some of that stash space that players, like me, are using to save cool items "just in case". Now instead of keeping 1 of every cool item in my stash you can simply extract it's power for later use.

Anytime you extract a power from an item it is added to your collection of powers. You can enabled any power you have ever extracted, within each specific game type. To assign powers you will access the cube in town and from there are able to allocate whatever power you like based on the 1 Weapon, 1 Armor, 1 Jewelry rule of the cube.

I'm really excited to see what kind of awesome builds everyone comes up with now that they have far more options at their disposal!

Ancestors Grace can't be extracted into the cube and it is not a season only feature.
