Legendaries of Cataclysm!

[Gigapuddi]

We have only seen 1 healing legendaries so who knows if tanks or healers will be in the spot light again

wrong, we have had Atiesh and Val'anyr.
OT, my guess is a agility polearm.

[Theholypally]

We don't need anymore dps legendaries IMO, they need to give us more healer legendaries

[Warcrafter]

Something for tanks would be nice.

[PlatedPriest]

i agree. an agi weapon but it should be availbile to hunters, shamans, druids, and rouges. so hmm i have no idea what it will be

1h dps mace after the staff

alt. something for Enhancement/Feral


http://www.wowpedia.org/Weapon_skills

http://www.wowhead.com/items=2?filter=qu=5

Classic: dps 2h mace, tank/dps 1h sword, healer/ranged staff (very few Atiesh compared to others)
TBC: 2x dps 1h sword, Hunter legendary bow
WOTLK: healer mace, dps 2h axe
Cata: dps staff

From the above we can see tons of warrior stuff, DK's just had a good run at the end of WOTLK, hunters could get a gun next expansion maybe but will more likely be able to use a 1h-legendary dps weapon that'll be useful for many more, incl Enh shamans that got kinda worked over with Shadowmourne.

Boomkin just got taken care of in Cata.

Ferals are still s.o.l. (unless you count Hand of Rag) so a 2h mace/polearm/melee staff would do them - but if that's next, then we have Shadowmourne followed by Cata dps staff followed by another 2h melee dps - highly unlikely.

Mages, Warlocks, Priests just got covered well. Paladins had Shadowmourne & Val'anyr recently and won't get something for awhile unless it's a 1h tanking weapon.

Rogues were s.o.l. for WOTLK but were covered well in TBC - I see a 1h dps something toward the end of Cata.

Shamans are good with the Elemental caster dps staff coming (ok, might be a problem?) and had Val'anyr for Resto - that leaves Enh still waiting for love since Hand of Rag.

Assumptions: Blizzard wants to spread the love fairly evenly. They have a history of not. They also have a history of learning from their mistakes and trying to be fair. Key word trying.

If that's correct then you could see a 1h dps mace or even something that can morph from 1h mace to 1h axe or even 1h sword. But that would take even more developer time and QA testing - so I'm saying 1h mace.
Polearm is another possibility, which would please ferals, overload the people who had a shot at Shadowmourne, and piss off rogues and imho very unfairly beat up on Enh shaman.

Also - what's up with http://www.wowhead.com/item=17142 ?? Anyone know the story of that?

Here's to hoping they go the way of class restrictions on legendaries - which they won't, the crying would be overboard. From the looks of it Warriors will coming out on top no matter what, just from being able to use so many different weapons. Or maybe they'll finally let ferals dual-wield daggers and fist weapons, which to me would make a fair amount of sense and also open up some competition and greater use of traditionally rogue-only weapons. Would make for mechanics and mathematics hassles to some extent, but not too much as the forms' attack speeds are normalized afaik.
It's a bad situation when a class has weapons that only they can use - then the hunters are stuck just waiting for a gun or a bow, etc.

Problem is blizzard never create's a legendary for one class only also back in the old says ench shamans didnt excist.

Enahnce shammies with sulfuras want to say HI

[Upptagen]

Didnt the bow last as long as SM did?

No, it didn't. Shadowmourne was far better than everything else for a year, while Thori'dal only lasted a few months. The thing was, SWP was released like Ruby Sanctum. But, due to the difficulty in SWP, it toke a long time for people to get their Thori'dal.

[gruntishnoob]

Im acctually dissappointed of how they did NOT make the twillights hammer a legendary weapon

the reason was mostly rng.

[Sativex]

Make it an agility staff, but with a "use" that turns it into 2 daggers. Then all classes that use agility could benefit.

[woopytywoop]

Ench Shamans have really had one even. So, they have waited the longest.

In vanilla enhance shammy's wielded 2h and sulfuras was really a very good weapon for them.
If you check unbreakable on youtube lvl60 shaman with sulfuras
And it was probably the best an enhance shaman could wield back then

2 other options that might have been better for enhancers
Dark edge of insanity higher dps, but lower damage on swing.
Might of Menethil higher dps and higher damage on swing but drops of KT in naxx40.

So only might of menethil would have been better because you wanted highest weapon damage for insane WF procs proccing of WF .
But I don't think any enhancer got it even when the content was still relevant as many guilds had KT on farm -.- .

[kovtheinsane]

Releasing a 1h melee dps Mace would actually profit quite a lot of classes / spec. Could also be used for tanking with reforges nowadays :P

It was around (give or take a few months) as long. But when they normalized shot damage it made the bow from Archimonde just as good if not better.

Edit: Spelling.

[Cloud8690]

Tanks are, afaik, the only class that hasn't had a weapon tailored to them. Don't bring up DK's using shadowmourne, or warriors using thunderfury. Both of those were dps weapons.

[Algore]

I feel like it is time for a hunter weapon.

[Deleted]

I think it's Hunters and Ench Shamans turn to get one. Thori'dal had no cool use/procc really, lasted very short and got nerfed so it wasn't even that good.

Thori'dal didn't require arrows. I'd say thats was very cool/useful attribute.

Feral Druids would like to have a word with you....

but quivers still had +15% haste, so you still needed that bag slot to be empty....
