Legion Warlock Legendary abilities and discussion

Man is this gonna blow or what, everyone is gonna be grinding mobs for weeks/months for those drops , I guess this is the new content "filler" to overcome the lack of content people always whine about.

Two things to keep in mind. First, we don't know exactly how these will be acquired, beyond them not being pure RNG world drops. Second, we're starting with a cap of 1 legendary equipped at a time, with various gated ways to slowly increase the limit over time. For example, fully upgrading your Class Hall (which will take a month or two) adds +1 to the cap. Other ways will probably take longer, or not even be available until future content patches.

All schools but physical since the last build

Few interesting combinations, if damage distribution stays the same within specs

Looks like the fields they aim to improve with legendaries are council and adds fight for affliction, ST/council for Demo and basically everything for Destro

sorry to go off-topic but is this different from live? was under impression that chaos currently includes physical damage as a school

Yes it's different from Live. On live Chaos encompasses all schools, including physical and Holy. On Alpha, as of a recent patch, the Physical and Holy schools have been removed from Chaos damage.

Should we expect any more?

If mobs drop them then that will make Suramar even be

This is so absolutely, disgustingly fucking OP broken it's not even funny ;/ I mean all of these items are strong and somehow useful, but this one is just absurd.

It means we have a proper DPS cooldown, and since we lost Dark Soul I'm not complaining.

That's not quite correct. Chaos BOLT no longer does holy or physical damage. Other sources of Chaos damage, such as Demonbolt and various Demon Hunter abilities, still deal all schools of damage.

This is pretty much purely a PvP change.
