Update: Today's change to Uber Unique drops retroactively makes all of your existing Uber Unique items max-rolled.
When we reported on the change on Monday, it wasn't clear whether it would affect Uber Uniques you've already farmed from Duriel and have sitting in your inventory, but now that the patch is live, that's been confirmed. Per Wowhead, all Uber Uniques you've previously farmed from Duriel will be retroactively updated with perfect rolls, and of course, all future items will be max-rolled as well.
Original story follows...
Diablo 4 players might want to hold off on fighting Duriel until tomorrow, October 31, as there's a patch going live that'll make the boss fight considerably more rewarding.
Tucked away in the latest Diablo 4 patch notes from Blizzard is a fix for "an issue where Uber Unique items were not always dropping at their maximum roll values."
Basically, at the time of writing, the stats of Uber Unique items would be randomly rolled within a certain range when they drop, but now they'll always drop at their maximum possible values. For example, if an Uber Unique is coded to drop with 30-35% Vulnerable damage, after this patch it will always be that 35%. The TLDR is: all Uber Uniques will be max-rolled from this patch onward.
As explained in a Reddit thread, it's for that reason that it's advisable to hold off on expending your boss materials until after the patch, as doing so will guarantee you a max-rolled Uber Unique, provided the RNG gods deem you worthy of a such a drop. Speaking of which, director Joe Shely said earlier this month that "we aren't kidding about the drop rate of Uber Uniques" in Diablo 4 Season 2, so by all accounts you should be seeing more of them since Season of Blood started a couple of weeks ago.
