Legion Legendaries Disabled in Shadowlands

Recommended Posts

Restodroodopz found out that Legendaries now classify as Legacy in Shadowlands Alpha, and so their bonuses are disabled and won't work for low level characters or in Timewalking anymore.

The Legion Legendary Sephuz's Secret Sephuz's Secret is labelled as a Legacy item with inactive effects.

The Sentinel's Eternal Refuge The Sentinel's Eternal Refuge (BoE crafted Legion Legendary) is also marked as a Legacy item, rendering them pretty much useless.

We did some research and checked out Wrathion's cloak (Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve Ashjra'kamas, Shroud of Resolve Rank 12) with the primary stat increasing effect which remains untouched, so the Legacy thing only seems to apply to Legion Legendaries.

The same goes for Legendaries from previous expansions, specifically MoP legendary cloaks and WoD rings; they are not tagged as Legacy Items and keep their effects.

They could solve this by making them legacy heirlooms you can use on any character in a specific level range.

Thanks, I hate it... Why just disable legion legendaries? Even if you're levelling a new char, you can only use 1 until you did your order hall upgrade which no one bothered with after legion. Sure it could be a pain to balance, but why would it matter? Their ONLY use is levelling and timewalking, neither of which are relevant content, so balance is already way out of wack... 

The only benefit I can see to this is levelling through PvP with these, otherwise just another FU to players who god forbid, played old expacs and want to show it off every now and then...

 

Edit - just did a timewalking with two decent g druid leggo's, the cape (MOP), ring (pre leggo tbf), and really wasn't that OP, kinda forget how rubbish they made legendaries in them for me. Still nice to flex mind. Obv this was only for a bear, DPS ones I can imagine being better I'd hope...

Oh come on blizz! I farmed for WEEKS to get the shoulders and boots for the warrior to run old raids and dungeons at an acceptable speed (180% ++)

Might not be due to balance concerns. May be due to coding issues and avoiding edgecase bugs. Legendaries that apply to old things can become risky code as you change classes over the years. They may've decided that it was better to axe them and save work, rather than lose work on other stuff in SWL in order to preserve legendaries in timewalking.

 

We'll see. I wish they'd stick around for timewalking too, but game devs have to make hard decisions. Having a huge company doesn't give you unlimited resources, and programming isn't just a matter of tacking on more manhours to a problem. Although having a good coding paradigm should make it way easier, but upholding and specifying such a thing in an MMO is a monumental task.

If the Ashjra'kamas is still providing some stats in Shadowlands, would it be worthwhile to get it on my alts? I have max cloak on my main, but my alts only have level 1-4, or none at all right now. Or will my cloak be replaced with something else once we start playing the expansion?

I wish that they didn't include this nerf to timewalking also. Perhaps someone with Alpha access can see how current cloak and corruption effects are scaling on timewalking when it comes around again. (It is nice the leveled cloaks still retain stats bonuses.)

Most people that farm timewalking are doing for either the 500 badges, alt caches, or the infinite timereaver mount. It's not considered progression content like m+. The timewalking raids were slightly more challenging than the dungeons; I don't think this change will help participation rates for those or timewalking in general. This guide does give me more ideas of things I should do before Shadowlands hits and this nerf likely sets in. Am a bit curious if other forms of scaling or instanced content removed legendaries effects as well. 

I do hope my rank 15 cloak and corruption effects are still fine. Would like to have one character I can have fun with still.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
