    Not marked release candidate, so that more or less confirms the patch won't hit in June. Not that I was personally expecting it to either. Given Blizzard's track record, 20th of July seems like an obvious candidate given the release of the New World beta.

    I've also been hearing conflicting rumors about Sylvanas bow being legendary or not, but given they just created a FoS for it, it's very unlikely that it's not a legendary.

    It's a legendary and has been for several builds.

    So what exactly are we waiting for? I mean what is not in this build that makes it not a release candidate.

    I could have sworn when I logged onto PTR last week it was a derpy ol purple. Oh well, as long as it doesn't count for leggo limit it's not actually a big deal. Even with this bow I don't foresee Hunters being top 5 classes in PvE.
    I won't make any predictions for PvP but I'll bet having access to a ranged nuke with a 5second silence could be spicy. Inb4 arena players scream because CE hunters have this.

    not only does noone like it, it actually feels shit whenever it turns out you went the wrong path
    - your covenant does 2% less in the end than another would but you liked the asthetics? too bad
    - your mathematically best legendary is no fun, but the legendary that actually is fun is bad in numbers? too bad
    - the secondary stats on your legendary are sub-par all of the sudden due to changes to your character? too bad
    - your weekly torghast feels like a chore because all your class has is "after breaking CC the target does 10% less damage" while other classes have "you become a demigod"?

    just get rid off all of that. There is so much community feedback that non of this is "fun" while at the same time its clear that this takes endless time to develop and balance.

    why:
    - is torghast not just an actual roguelike hard 5man endless dungeon that gets impossible eventually & has 1 try a week - but actually improving loot on every layer.
    - are covenants not simply a storypath / transmog decicions so that i dont feel bad about wanting to be a vampyr monk that leeches anima or something. Most people would feel way more connected if they would not have to worry about min/maxing this "choice"
    - dont we have interesting content that worked well in the past. Make castly nathria a 10man dungeon in 9.1 that drops a cool mount at the end if you time it (like zul'aman - that shit was actually good back then)

    This would also be less of a problem if the game wasn't raid or die. Do raids at least on heroic, and mythic dungeons. There is no room for sub-optimal specs here. If you could gear up to reasonable levels just by doing normal dungeons, you could go crazy with mathematically bad, but fun to play builds.
