Legendary Nerfs

[DistortionSleep]

I can't believe how entitled some of you guys are. Seriously the game has been out 4 months, and you're crying because you don't have the BiS ones. By time the expansion is over I'm sure everyone will have there pick of the litter when it comes to them. Fwiw I have sephuz and Prydaz. I'm still chasing the carrot, and I'm probably going to scream when I get the ones I want.

define fun, losing to shit player on dps isnt fun just cus he won the rng lottery.

Can a legendary really boost that much performance of a "shit" player over someone like you?

If you are losing in the DPS meter over someone with a legendary, I doubt that person can be considered "shit".

Everyone with a brain realizes the current system was stupid AF. IMO the better choice would be to remove them, but this seems like the middle ground which i'm good with.

[Sansnom]

Good.

If I had it my way I would delete them.

I tend to agree. Legendary causes so much drama, they should just remove it.

Either everyone has them, which removes their uniqueness.

Or make it rare and people complain about RNG and un-deserving winners.

[DistortionSleep]

I think the "whining" is justified.

I'm guessing you're just upset that your BiS legendary won't be as great as it was before.

I don't have them yet, I have Prydaz, and Sephuz as I previously stated. But when I do get the good ones, I want them to still actually be good. As of right now I'm still grinding and have something to look forward too. If they nerf them, and they just become stat sticks, then whats the point?

Since you guys have bitched about legendaries 24/7 since release, Blizzard is doing what Blizzard does best. Nerf to the ground. There is no middle ground with Blizzard.

Even if Legendaries were nerfed so much to the point the effect was nearly useless, doesn't change the fact it's an iLvl 910 item, 15 Item Level above the cap. Don't you get excited when you get that iLvl 895 Titanforged item? People should get excited to have a Legendary only because of its iLvl.

What worries me is the other way around: classic Blizzard, they probably gonna buff the "only usable in certain situation" legendaries to the point they will be mandatory to content they are usable.

Which is why they should just leave them as is. The start of the expansion will be a lot of bitching, but I guarantee in a year, no one will be bitching, because they will be more common.

[Serissa]

It only took 1 year of beta and 3 months of live to realize what was obvious on day 1 of introducing them.

Well it was faster than Ashran at least. In 1 year of beta and 2 years of WOD they didn't realize what was wrong with Ashran.

if the player is really bad he shouldn't beat you even with a legendary

if he does, he is not the bad player, you are.

Gets angry at the whiners. Creates a thread about whining. Starts whining. Well done OP. You are the reason we can't have anything nice.

Here is some more whining.

People will always be bitching, regardless, so I gaurantee you are wrong again...

[Redroniksre]

I disagree with people saying they need to be removed. I think the system need work, but what do you want? Raider only legendaries that nobody cares about, a timesink like the cloak/ring, or maybe none ever again?

[Moxal]

I am all for re-working the system, but I don't think this is the right way to do it.

[MasterHamster]

Some legendaries have huge impact, that is not good.

But this community can't handle these items. It's the same as with so many other things in the game. If something is a boost, it's "mandatory" and people cry until Blizzard has it removed.

There will always be "mandatory BiS legendarys"... so if the dps ones are nerfed into overall 1% dps boosts are you going to complain that your healers require one of the <BiS utility> ones next? That's the magic of math, there will always be cookie-cutters.

Sometimes I wonder if people of this game even enjoy the MMORPG genre. Such a large part of it can't seem to come to terms with basic MMORPG core concepts like RNG, powerful luck-based items, or exclusive rewards. Nah, if everyone can't get everything outside of raids ASAP, it's broken. I'd love to see how excited you'd be getting your legendary when/if we get the targeting system and getting legendarys is reduced to nothing but a timed lottery to check off a list of legendarys to acquire in a specific order according to theorycrafters.

[Lulbalance]

Don't congratulate us until they're removed from the game.

[mitre27]

Everything has to be equal for everyone. Can't have anything fun.

Some rng loot that isn't even from raids only dictating up to 10%% of your damage is stupid

[satimy]

The problem was never good legendaries, it was the trash tier legendaries that blizzard couldn't grasp why nobody would ever want

[Dastreus]

Really? That's what this is about? People really care about this? Dude no one cares about your dps. If your guild cares that much, they should be smart enough to know who has what legendaries.

Have you ever run a mythic plus? Pretty sure your DPS matters there.

[Raziella]

When you can't even get into a low level mythic+ group without "big dick deeps" (and with how unbalanced the classes and specs are, and how impossible alts are with the gating, rep, gated rep, and AP situation) having make or break RNG based items is a slap in the face.

Blizz tried to find a way to get people to play 24/7 (grinding nearly unlimited AP, grinding constant mythics, etc) and the legendary system taunted even that grinding crowd that Blizz was striving so hard for by giving some noob who logged in twice the legendary item you'd been farming night and day for while you got some neck that might proc a small shield, as a DPS class.

[nekobaka]

OP says no one cares about DPS while whining about Blizzard balancing items that contribute to a large portion of DPS.
