4.3 Legendary will be a rogue dagger.Follow

I guess there is speculation that this might not be entirly true now.


Either way I find it ridiculous that they would make a class specific legendary. I know as a hunter the chances of us using it are slim. We havn't used 1handed weapons since Wrath because their stats dont measure up to our normal "stat sticks". To be honest I wouldn't be suprised if it has expertice on it just to make sure hunters arn't using it. Feral druids I can't say anything for.

I honestly expected to see a tanking legendary if they put one out this teir. Thunderfury was the last real tanking weapon and the way gear stats were then it wasn't a "tank only" weapon.

The Warglaives from Illidan were Rogue/Warrior only.

Even if it wasn't rogue-only, a 1H agi dagger would be good for only rogues and Enh Shammies (and that would depend on speed). As said hunters use 2H for better stats and since kitties can't use off-hand we use 2H weapons too.

Now if they made a legendary that could change between a 2H polearm and two 1H daggers, it'd be pretty awesome.

I always lumped Glaives in with Polearms.

I think that depends on which patch in an expansion you get a legendary. People will probably replace Dragonwrath with greens in the next expansion, but they'll still be using it throughout most of 4.3 if not all of it. Anyone who gets a legendary during 4.3 though, I highly doubt they'll replace it with greens. More likely they'd replace it once they start doing new heroics or raid in 5. whatever. The point of legendaries is that you put in a lot of effort to get a really awesome weapon. So Blizz wants to make sure you get a lot of use out of it.

Well yeah. The drop rate on the hilt was terrible. I never even saw the thing drop, let alone have a chance to roll on it. But I never went to the o-boards to ***** about it. =x

Legendaries are too legendary for me to even care.

Quel'Delar was pretty cool, though, and I wish that the Battered Hilt to get started on the whole thing would have been more accessible.

I like the overall idea of taking some piece of scrap metal and turning it into something useful. Anybody remember the Broken Blade of Heroes? Even something as simple as having to take it to a blacksmith to have it fixed makes you feel involved.

Quel'Delar was on par with ICC normal drops, at a time when ICC was the current tier. It would be nice if there was something similar now. I mean, would it really be any worse than BoE trash drops? You can just freaking buy yourself level 378 weapons, so it's not like handing out welfare epics.

My Shaman is holding out for the tankards as well.

It's a shame the BOE mace doesn't have agility one it. They go nicely with my Shaman's T11 gear. But smashing heads in with two tankards is going to be win.

I was the only one in my guild to obtain Shadowmourne last expansion and I only got it about 3 months before Cataclysm. I refused to replace it with a green and since I tanked any dungeons I ran while levelling to 85, it wasn't an issue. I had to replace it with a blue to get into heroics though, and that sucked.

Normal Malevolance has slightly higher DPS and not-quite double the Agi of heroic Alysra's Razor, and that's jumping from a normal T11 drop to heroic T12. The legendary would have to be that much more powerful than a heroic T13 staff to make it even an option for a druid, and at that point the weapon DPS would be so high every melee would use it, stats be damned.

I think it's more that if Blizz allowed it they'd need to figure out how to make it balanced. Though I suppose they don't do that with hunters so dual-wielding could just end up in the same boat of "looks cool, but not optimal."

Either way, I strongly doubt there would be a one-class legendary. Rogues haven't had something since Twin Blades of Azzinoth, Enh Shammies and Ferals haven't had one since Sulfuras (back when we used strength and Enh used 2H weapons), and Hunters haven't had one since that Sunwell bow that wasn't even BiS because it didn't use ammo. Strength classes had Shadowmourne in ICC, casters have the current staff, and technically ferals have Staghelm's staff which isn't legendary and isn't actually BiS either (but only by a fraction).

Really the folks most due are Agi users (8 specs if you count hunters getting a stat-stick) and specifically Tank Platefolk (3 specs one of whom uses 2-handers). We all agree that one single Agi legendary can't help all the classes. One thing is clear: whatever Blizz does people will whine. It's what we do best.
