Can priests get a decent legendary?

IDK who at blizz designed the priest “legendaries”, but they clearly had no idea what they were doing. I don’t understand how pretty much every single class not only has at least one great legendary, but their covenant legendary is strong as well. Priest gets nothing. You also forgot to add conduits that add any value. My priest, that I’ve mained almost exclusively since wrath, is the only class I currently play that I legitimately can’t tell if I have a legendary equipped. Made all my other legendaries for my other classes first because they actually get buffed from them.

Healing priests are pretty strong right now, I get that, but it sucks when it feels like we get nothing all xpac from these new systems.

What don’t you like about the legendary options?

Holy has CDR on everything, coming back to life, and Flash shortening/buffing Heal.

Disc has free Pennances that increase output by like an extra 50%. Also Disc conduits were so out of control that one had to get massively hammered in S1, and it still dramatically increases healing output.

Priest healers haven’t had much to complain about this expansion, IMO.

Honestly I have to disagree with this.

Flash concentration - Incredible for holy priest basically changing the spec fundamentally
Clarity of mind - Massive atonement overlapping for disc priest during rapture
Shadowflame prison - Makes shadow do baseline strong aoe and cleave increasing duration of shadowfiend.

What part of these legendaries aren’t impactful or strong?

Counterpoint on shadow—> shadowfiend/mindbender is icky. Please don’t enhance it, replace it.

I don’t beleive we’ll see more than enhencements on legendarirs until the expansion ends. These legendaries are going to become usless as soon as 10.0 hits…

Otherwise I wouldnt say that disc has amazing legendaries, but they’re still ok

This has to be a troll… Has to be.

He looks Forsaken to me :clown_face:

You’re sugar coating it. The Penitent One is only good because the rest of our legendaries are trash.

It gives Power Word: Radiance a chance to make Penance free and fire three extra bolts. Keyword here, a chance. For a spell that already costs alot of mana to use, you have to get lucky using Power Word: Radiance just for the legendary to work.

You’ll either get it or you won’t. It’d be tons better if it was all the time.

I really liked the idea of Crystalline Reflection, but the only problem is our Power Word: Shields are garbage unless powered by Rapture, and even then it’s only 20% of damage absorbed. If our shields were stronger on its own or if it reflected 50% of damage absorbed, it’d be a great legendary.
