Oh boy. Bring on the flames for catering to the hardcore lvl20 mythics while everyone has to walk, LOL.

[Guidance]

Retri paladin with divine tool in pvp with this legendary or balance with convoke legendary

[Semihagez]

Splintered Elements (Necrolord) - Each additional Lightning Bolt/Healing Wave/Lava Burst generated by Primordial Wave increases your Haste by 5% for 10 sec.

Just by reading the description I know for sure this will not replace the current top legendary for Elemental/Restoration shaman.

[whywhatwhowhenhow]

Dungeon teleports for the boosters.

More boosts per hour = more taken sales.

Just joking!

Or am I???

I wonder why blizzard hates us...

I wonder why they don’t just make a single legendary like “Union of the covenants: gain a legendary effect based on your class and chosen covenant” instead of individual legendary items for each covenant...

FoS for m+20? what? and a teleport? uh

Going by the description, this doesn't look like to be a seasonal achievement. Although it will probably go away next expansion (just like previous CM teleports).

[Othraerir]

meh, they can just summon you quicker

[Dzonathan]

Kyrian new legendary + Mikanikos's Effusive Anima Accelerator = Prot Pala Itano Circus

thought exactly the same, but for another reason.

whats the point in doing x legendaries or adding x legendaries? there will be always just that 1 pve or that 1 pvp bis leggy, like all internet sites / theorycrafters said. so why they putting effort into all the others, noone cares ???

i dont get why they not just do 1 leggy and you slowly work towards it (the same as we did in 9.0). and in 9.1 you just do higher itemlevel and do a new single leggy, ppl can again work towards. while the old one gets useless and outscaled. thats it. why producing x other leggys along the way, noone cares about ???

[cenkadin]

Divine Resonance will get a nerf for prot.

[Scifix]

This makes me really curious if 2 charges on vanquishers is enough to pop necro to the bis ret pala covenant, that kyrian legendary could make for some pretty big consistent damage though

Last time we had a legendary system it turned out a lot of the useless ones were good for the mage tower. That's why. There's more than just top dps ones.

Having portals tied to these +20 achievements doesn't make sense. It's not even remotely the same in difficulty compared to Challenge Conqueror: Gold from MoP or Challenge Warlord: Gold from WoD where instance portals have previously been available.

[GnomeEU]

Well it's a free teleport for mythic raiders and high pvp.
Someone who does only m+ will probably never get the teleport which is ironic. But yeah Blizzard.

I remember when a mage in bfa made a guide for high mythic dungeons. And he's like OK, you don't need much, but the following 3 azerite pieces are mandatory, which are at least a 6 month wait, lol

[Loveliest]

The teleport is probably more of a feat of strength / prestige thing. The CM teleports have an 8 hour CD combined (not one for each, so if you teleport to temple of the ox you can only teleport to stratholme after 8 hrs). So it's not something very useful if they keep it the same. Probably something to get at the end of the expansion.

Unless they don't do the usual seasonal M+ upscaling shenanigans, timing +20 will remain accessible to such a tiny percentage of the playerbase, that I strongly doubt this is a marketing decision.

Having completed Challenge Warlord: Gold, I'm inclined to say, that unless they introduce something ridiculous like corrupted gear again, timing all dungeons on +20 is going to be much more difficult.
Besides, CMs relied solely on execution, as gear was scaled down, so pretty much anyone could attempt them, such high keys depend both on godly gear that not everyone has access to and great execution on top of that.

Feel free to convince me otherwise though.

Precisely what I'm saying. I've got both MoP and WoD's portals, and all +20s in time is so much more difficult it's comical.

M+20 teleports instead of fixing Bastion FPs to have something far right and left of the map... ok hahahaha

Well, we'll be flying anyway.
