Death's Bargain Exploit

An exploit has been recently found out with the Death's Bargain pants, and because of it the item affix was temporarily disabled until the issue can be hotfixed in the near future. It consisted of using the item's mechanic of turning Life per Second into damage along with cheat death passives to deal ridiculous damage. We are left wondering if leaderboards were tainted by this and if something will be done about that.

Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) We've recently become aware of an unintended interaction that occurs when Death's Bargain is used in combination with a specific set of items and abilities. In addition to causing server instability, this combination could also be leveraged to gain significant progression in higher level Greater Rifts (that wouldn't otherwise be possible). To help mitigate these effects, we have disabled the Legendary affix for Death's Bargain until further notice.



Note that this is a temporary measure and we are working on an additional hotfix to address the underlying issues. While we don't have an ETA for this fix to share at this time, we will provide updates as they become available.
