wow Hunters Will Be the First Class to Wear 2 Legendaries At Once in Shadowlands

[Stan 5,240]

Blizzard changed the rarity of the Sylvanas bow to Legendary on the 9.1 PTR, which means Hunters will be the first class in Shadowlands to wear 2 Legendary Items at the same time.

While Blizzard made it clear they want to allow players to equip more than 1 Legendary Item at some point in the Shadowlands expansion, the limit of (1) equipped Legendary isn't going anywhere in Chains of Domination.

However, the fun side of the story is that Blizzard changed the rarity of the Hunter Bow that drops from Sylvanas from Epic (DNT - PH - 9.1 Raid Bow 2 (Sylvanas)) to Legendary in the latest 9.1 build, meaning that Hunters will be the first class to equip 2 Legendary Items at the same time in Shadowlands, and even 3 when the limit is removed!

The bow also received a unique appearance that you can find here.

Well... good thing my secondary main is a hunter, then. Plus, that bow is sexy af.

Well.. it may as well that the bow to be considered a legendary like the other ones so you may have to choose between the bow or other leggy as your only equipped legendary.

There is 1 big problem with the bow , the itemlvl and Dps , I mean not everyone will kill Sylvanas on Mythic so a M+ Vault Weapon would provide more Dps If the effect is broken this doesnt matter but what if not ? Than its just nice to have in our bank item

Which is the same case as thoridal x) and the bow from twins back in TBC 😛

Big deal, it's a great change. Up until MoP there were classes with a legendary and those with none and things were cool. By the way, the last time people felt the excitement of a legendary weapon drop was in BC, it was also a bow, and guess what's about to launch pretty soon.

The only ones not to have a spec viable legendary available to them so far are Feral/Guardian Druids, Enhancement Shamans, and as of Legion, Survival Hunters. And unless they're going to bring back 2H enhancement spec or let Druids dual wield, going to need a minimum of two different weapons.

Just that we still have a couple that have never had a spec viable legendary, and we're going on 17 years now. It's a little ridiculous at this point.

more borrowed power with crap game mechanics behind it along with mediocre story telling.

where does it say that hunter can equip 2 legos? it literally states that the limit is 1 legendary equipped. if the bow is legendary, that's your legendary. that's how it should be.

Totally correct here, not sure where the OP gets the idea that they'll be able to equip two, just because the bow is not a crafted legendary doesn't mean it is exempt from the legendary cap of 1.

Entirely anecdotal at best.

It absolutely isn't, in fact Blizzard should pay more attention to how it feels to obtain a legendary, because what we've got today is a trivial, formulaic grind that garantees everybody gets their BiS and people call it 'Choregast'.

Do we know if we can "farm" this bow on LFR and Normal difficulty?

The Bows tooltip does not have the Unique Equipped : Shadowlands Crafted Legendary (1) that is seen on live patch legendary items so its not entirely impossible in theory. They may update the tool tip to be all legos before it goes live though
