Primal Ancients will now roll Perfect Ancient Stats

"Primal Ancients will now instead roll perfect Ancient-level stats tailored to the character class you’re playing when the item first drops."

With how out of touch the dev team seems to be with the meta, I really hope this just means int/str/dex will match and they don't try to figure out what the correct rolls are for gear.

This is correct. They are simply guaranteed to be smart loot.

How is this any different than Loot 2.0 rolls? We get a guaranteed primary stat on the item, or something else?
To add a little more clarity:
1. They always roll smart loot for the character class you are playing.
2. They always roll optimal sockets for the slot* (max sockets for jewelry/chest/pants, no sockets for weapons)
Beyond that, which stats appear on the item is random (barring any that a particular item is guaranteed to roll with). Whatever stats appear on the item will be at maximum value for that item, including any stat ranges for the Legendary power.

*Edit: Forgot to clarify this. The optimal sockets aren't in yet, but are planned for a future patch.

I like this solution, it gives us a reason to get those items while allowing NS players to keep all of their gear, just need to ask some questions:

Does legendary power always roll perfect aswell? like primal coe will always be 200%?

Do i need to do gr70 with every char or just one?

Yes.

Do i need to do gr70 with every char or just one?

Just once per game mode. (Normal Non-Season, Hardcore Non-Season, Normal Seasonal, or Hardcore Seasonal).
