![]() ![]() Homing Pads are a solid legendary even without the unique effect, but their troll-y benefits make them truly worth using. Although they make an admittedly good exit strategy for hardcore players, how often do you expect to really need to port back to town while in combat? Most players I see simply pull certain death to their friends before safely warping back home. Going beyond making me feel nostalgic rage, the Homing Pads are funny because their effect is useless for most players in Diablo 3, unless you plan on trolling your teammates. ![]() Anyone that played World of Warcraft during its vanilla days will recall the frustration of a Paladin going LOLNOEP and vanishing back to their home location. Homing Pads is hilarious simply because it's bubble-hearth in an item. The Bovine Bardiche is hysterical because it legitimizes the joke that has been with Diablo 3 for over a decade, and the way they swing those spears just had me dying. Though the cows aren't too mechanically beneficial, having a small army of ghost-cow followers is too entertaining and awesome to deny. This isn't the first time Blizzard has taken their in-joke to the next level (Mists of Pandaria, anyone?), and it won't be the last. Whispers of powerful cow magic are a long part of Diablo's history, and the Cow King makes a direct appearance when players enter Whimsyshire, so the Bovine Bardiche is (strangely somehow) lore compliant within the series. It should be no surprise that Blizzard included a cow-themed item in Diablo 3.
