Legendary nerf is the worst thing blizz has done in shadowlands so far

I can’t believe they think that legendaries were too strong, I would’ve almost claimed most of them to be too weak.

Matching talents with legendaries and new systems and finding cool builds that work for different things is one of the most exciting things about a new expansion.

I honestly lost a lot of my excitement for shadowlands. First all covenant abilities getting fudging gutted, atleast for my class it almost doesn’t matter what I pick. And now legendaries are all just trash, won’t matter which one we pick. Rather have garbage balance and fun gameplay than choices that don’t matter.

Yeah to trusted sources (like wowhead). Any other link you can post by putting it inside preformatted text (looks like </> in the toolbar)

Thank god, let’s see how much they change.

It’s good they nerfed it, some are so broken close to gamebreaking.

Idk how people think it’s fine when you can just steamroll people in pvp with 1 button.

I hope they also reconsider how much they nerfed many of the covenant abilities.

I was planning on playing rogue and kyrian is the only choice right now, and it’s so bad gameplay wise. Absolute garbage. It’s way better than the other three, and between them your choice doesn’t matter. Which I might be fine with because then I can choose whatever covenant I like based on everything else that comes with covenants.

I honestly think a vast majority of rogues hate the kyrian ability. Everyone I speak to want nothing to do with that spell.

And still rogue pump, its broken in pvp and m+ too, and now u see why they need to nerf some stuff. Rogue bein bad gameplay wise has nothing to do with legendary numbers unless u consider stupid OP=fun.

Gameplay =/= numbers.

They can tune them for PvP only though, so that the outliers have different scaling in PvP. The technology exists, many abilities already change their scaling as soon as you go into PvP.

@Lommatik
That’s exactly what I’m saying though, Kyrian has the best DPS, but no one wants to play it because it sucks to use. It’s total garbage gameplay wise. But we’re gonna have to play it if we care about our output. Because it’s A LOT better than the other covenants.

Rogue is fine gameplay wise, sub rogue is awesome to play, the most fun I ever had. But our covenant abilities are so unbalanced that you have no choice if you care about your damage, because the different between being kyrian, and the others is too big.

Cries in WW Monk , the legendaries are not that geat , I expected a lot more from the Chi Ignition legendary but it does no damage what so ever, its supposed to ramp up a chi explosion while using fists, and at 30 stacks crane king and explode , one rising sun king does more than a 30 stack of the legendary…

Yeah, I’ve heard a lot from all the WW monks out there, my condolences.

Hope they fix your class first off and make your legendaries and covenants fun to play with.

Yeah, I gave up on my warrior for shadowlands. It feels bad, but after trying sub rogue I found my new love. Hoping you will too if you must.

I assume they scaled to good later on making them a " must have " on specific builds , narrowing your choices or builds . Hard to tell atm if their decision is good or bad .

You’re a warrior, be prepared to be mediocre and still nerfed into oblivion while Rogue, Mage and DH remain untouched.

Fortunately I’m planning on switching to rogue in SL. I’ve learnt from my mistakes.
