Next Seasonal power
Shadows of the Past: Activating a Shrine/Pylon will spawn in a shadow clone of your class. This clone will randomly have 1 out of 3 predetermined builds. This clone's power will scale with your character and will last for 1 minute or if your character dies.

Kanai’s Cube: Additionally, the Kanai’s Cube will have a fourth slot this season. This fourth slot will have the choices of the first 3 slots but will not stack with any of them. The intent is to provide players with creative flexibility to their character builds.

Ohhhh thought they meant if you were playing a WD, it gave you all WD sets.

Kind of a nice change for alts, but there is zero interesting in any of the rest of the notes.

Devs waited til all classes had a new set and then added them to the rotation this season. Fastest for season journey will likely still be barb or DH, I'll probably grab the free GoD set, slap on a Squirts, CoE, Frostburn, or Furnace for extra damage in the 4th cube slot. T16 speeds you can flex a goldwrap no problem.

What does that even mean?

I interpret it as you can’t have 2 of the same item in the cube.

So a little different than season 20 where you could put 3 armors in the cube. 4 slots now but only two of any type and no duplicates.

I don't read the Haedrig's change as letting you pick from any class, only that the new sets are added to the rotation for future seasons. So functionally no change. We'll see I guess.

4th slot can be a weapon, armor, or jewelry, but no duplicates allowed.

After re-reading it, I think I agree, that the new sets are now just in the Gift rotation, and you don't actually get all of them.

Guy tests a Frozen Orb with Deathwish mechanic in current season, notes that we'll get over 5x the damage with it next season. Trash killer using cold CoE cycle.

DH can’t use a furnace in the cube. I’m going start dh. Use either nems in the cube or odyssey’s end.
Necro looks solid this season.

people are betting bombardment crusader nerfed. It’s strong but I don’t like the way it plays.

If you want to pay blizzard for shit, you can play SL. At least D3 is free for a week or two of entertainment.
