 * '''[[Legacy]]''' - Legendary items found prior to Diablo 3 v1.04. Legacy [[Legendary]] and Set items generally have much worse stats than the later versions. All Set Items were renamed in v1.04 to distinguish them from Legacy versions, and mixing legacy and new pieces from the same set will not generate [[partial set bonus]]es.

A source of great player frustration, most often seen in Diablo 3 with fast movement skills such as [[Furious Charge]] or [[Tempest Rush]].
