[Megathread] Legendary Discussion (Legion)

[Deleted]

I've actually gotten the best Legendary for shadow (belt) last week from M Elereth, and the DPS increase is WAY too much for an item that can drop from literally anything.
Combine this already strong ability with the crazy shadow scalling and you have such an unbalanced system it's not even funny.
How is a shadow who got no legi/ring or neck supposed to compete? Of course I'm happy that I got it, but I still think that legendary's should have never been implemented like they are currently.

I will change the perspective of how poor the legendary system was this expansion.

Right now frustration has transformed to apathy. You can make a hotfix, and send everyone their 2 BIS legendaries in the mailbox. Will not make the bitter feeling go away.

This failure of a design made an expansion that was heading to be one of the best into a goddamn shitshow. Say what you will, but I simply cannot comprehend how anyone could think this was a good idea to implement. Shame.

Personally, I don't think it means that whole expantion is shit. I still enjoy most of it. But it is by far the biggest flaw of this expantion.

My opinion of the Blizzard devs is at an all-time low. At this point I'm convinced that half of them walk around the offices with their shoes untied because fixing it would require a major patch and might cost a raid tier.

I got my first legendary after around 250 hours of play, and my second after another 8 hours.

Both non-class generic PvP.

Seems a little silly

I got my first leg 3 days ago on my Havoc DH alt after 5 days played at 110. The best legendary on top of that. I have 0 normal + raid run and 0 mythic / M+ dungeons run.
My main (warlock) has 12 days played with intense farming and difficult content and nothing.
It's bad design imo.

I now switched main btw. I hate running after a ghost and am pretty sure my DH will now loot his second Leg soon.

I would.agree but im not surprised by the legendaries. Theyve been talking for years now about how great rng is and how lame deterministic progression was. The fact that legendaries are acquired totally by rng is not a surprise. The actual surprise isnhow they get off also having a deterministic progression system while simultabeouslt bad mouthing those kinds of things.

I think this thread should be closed as it serves no purpose. The OP was complete nonsense and I dont see how anyone moderating this thread should keep their position.

I have two legendaries on my main, I want the necklace as my third. Even though a lot hate that one, I'd love to have it on my tank!

[Poundmax]

just got my first legendary on my alt, 14 hours played at 110 - seems legit >_<

[btstyles]

seriously....

[HordeFanboy]

Fucked up system for Casuals. Totally RNGeed

Here is my solution.
1. Add main stats to neck and rings
2. MORE % to obtain per mythic RAID boss kill.
3.More % to obtain FIRST legendary.
4 Dont add RNG legendarys in next expansion.

[satimy]

Just delete the non class specific ones from the game

[Golden Yak]

Got my first legendary, it's the best one for my class/spec, and learned how to make Azshari Salad. This is the best patch everrrrr~!

You realize that it is especially bad for tanks? Since situations where you won't take damage for 5 seconds don't happen a lot as a tank.

We're less than 2 months in. People that play regulalry and frequently will have a variety of Legendaries to choose from as we get deeper into the expansion. TBH it doesnt phase me one bit what I have or dont have. Legendaries are cool perks, but not *must have's* even for mythic raiding. Plenty of people killing plenty of mythic bosses without them, or with Legendaries that are far from the optimal ones for their class. I know everyone wants to compare themselves and parse, yadda yadda, but at the end of the day the content doesnt require them AT ALL to be successful...so for me personally I'm not stressing over it. FWIW, I have the neck (decent, but not great) on my holy Priest and no Legendary on my Bear.

That is true, but people want to play the game with the legendary and not get the best/only useful legendary last 15 month into the game when the next expansion is about to be announced and all content has been cleared.

Doesn't happen a lot except for almost every single raid encounter in existence. Can't remember a raid boss recently with sustained damage on both tanks and not a single tank swap. Don't raid much do ya lul

Also the fact that most bosses deal way more than 15% of your health in a single melee swing.

Except that boss damage isn't the only damage you take ? Pretty much every boss have some kind of raid wide aura, dot stacking, aoe that hit everyone.

Don't raid much outside LFR do ya ? lul
