Can we get Crafted Legendaries?

As title says.

Even though you can say whatever about Shadowlands and BFA, they both had way more depth.

I know that most of depth is supposed to come from the revamped talents in DF. But there are many aspects which make for a class more bland.

Take for Example my priest. With a PVP Perspective

Holy Priest in Shadowlands was crazy good, overpowered even on S2/S3, but besides tuning (which its output was nerfed later on), it had access to Night Fae, so it had mobility, and it had damage reduction with Fae Guardians, then Harmonious Aparathus was given though the legendaries. Now we are given Harmonious Aparathus BUT so many stuff to pick in the holy tree that you really cant afford it. 0 Mobility like there used to be, and we lost Shining Force for example (woulda been great in Season 1 melee fest).

My Discipline Priest, lost access to the legendary boots, which made it so you had 9, yeah NINE Penance bolts in rapid succesion, we also lost Shadow Mend. And yeah even though Discipline priest is fine on PvP, i feel it clunky ever since Dragonflight, and the most loved aspect of it for me, which was being this walker between shadow and light, its been lost.

My Shadowpriest, has lost the most tho
 Does anyone remember the shadow that used to emerge from you whenever you did an instant Mind Blast ?, yeah thats gone
 why was this cut ?, it was so nice.

The only thing that was saved was Mind Games, but even then, most Shadowpriests were playing Necro.

Now Mind Games with the increased HP, feels like it does basically nothing.

In any way, my post is basically to say that DF Talents alone cant replace, covenants and legendaries
 we need legendaries at least to have more depth.

Dont even get me started on BFA, with corruption, we had access to crazy stuff and never felt more powerful than on 8.3. I played this hunter in BFA. It was wild

Legendaries I’m fine with, but hell no to the SL Crafted Legendaries. I even liked the Legion RNG Legendaries better than that garbage. Bring back WoD Ring, MoP Cloak kind of questlines that make you work for it.

no we can’t have that because money was somewhat useful in shadowlands and we can’t have that because the struggling dads with 20 wives, 50 kids, and 12 jobs won’t have time to do a few wqs for the gear.

“depth” I am not sure this means what you think it means. The devs dug themselves deeper and deeper pits making borrowed power systems, I guess?

“Oh no, your penance doesn’t do 9 bolts anymore
 your gameplay is ruined!” /s.

DF talents aren’t meant to replace covenants and legendaries. Sounds like SL was your first expansion, but its very much outside the norm. All but 2 expansions have had very limited legendaries (1-3, total) - those being Legion with the slot machine legendaries, some getting BIS whilst levelling, some waiting months and Shadowlands, where people complained about having to do Torghast for 30mins for a legendary.

Your “legendaries” from SL were replaced by Embellishment crafted items. Elemental Lariat and another.

Covenants still exist. All the ‘good’ parts of them, anyway. The RP, the story, the cosmetic rewards. They don’t need to replace them. It’s just the abilities, some of which are gone, some of which were kept. So just the absolute worst part, the part that ensured no choice in regards to the previously mentioned “good” parts.

Aaaand you “only play PvP”. You have the best gearing system, ever. You don’t need any of this stuff. If all you do is PvP, surely you are playing for the PvP right? Not just to be overgeared, overpowered and slaughter everyone. Surely a PvPer wouldn’t want some unfair advantage

Embellishments are like crafted leggos except less fun less flavorful and even more expensive while still being mandatory if you min-max. Granted, I ignored double embellishments on my alts but I only pushed 3k IO on them.

Ive been playing since vanilla.

I just think that as expansions goes the character should feel more powerful. Yet the most powerful we’ve ever been is at the end of BFA with corruption.

My hpriest feels as a simplified vertion of its former self back in SL S2

No. For the love of God
