Comment by gnovasLooks like you'll only notice this affix once you reach last boss (or whenever you get full stacks) while dealing with more annoying troops, I expect to test it this weekend for further feedback, but for now, i'd preffer encrypted or s1 themeComment by snarfingis it being active on level 5 going to be a thing on live? until now only level 10 and up have had the seasonal affixComment by ZithorianYea, 2% + 1 or 3 on the kills is garbo. You won't even notice it until last boss and even then 10% is mundane.Comment by RootsofdrewWhy would anyone go for anything but haste?Comment by zugzugzuugthis affix seems boring but ill past full judgement when season 4 comes out who knows maybe it will be fun season 3 affix is good tho.Comment by JuniperDPSis it being active on level 5 going to be a thing on live? until now only level 10 and up have had the seasonal affixComment by DreadfuryDK69 Mastery per stack.

Nice.Comment by TOMRUSWhy is mastery not percentage like other stats?

Also I did iron docks on PTR and had like 11 stacks at the end (22% crit). Not bad.Comment by Savario15is it being active on level 5 going to be a thing on live? until now only level 10 and up have had the seasonal affixComment by IMWazoWhy would anyone go for anything but haste?Comment by CSM101 I don't know who would choose mastery.Comment by TOMRUSWhen the mob turns into a Nathrezim Infiltrator, it seems to have less health than traditional mobs and currently only has one ability other than hitting the tank.Carrion SwarmNightmare CloudComment by the9tailWhy would anyone go for anything but haste?Comment by FluffehjujuWhy is mastery not percentage like other stats?

Would be interesting if there were a bunch of them in a single dungeon (which would allow for some beefy stat bonuses), but when you pull the final boss any dreadlords still alive charge into the final boss room and maybe give like 0.5% of the stat instead of 2% (maybe even 0.5% of a random stat you didn't pick). Then it's that choice of do we deal with these and maybe take more time and get some big buffs or skip them and do a big boss pull with just a slight additional buff.

Seems odd they don't count at all for %.Comment by KanegasiWhy is mastery not percentage like other stats?
