The claim that fairness isn’t relevant ignores a core aspect of game balance. Paladins have received three legendaries while some hero-tier specs, including Elemental and Resto Shamans, Holy Paladins, and Shaman Tanks, have received none. This isn’t about victimhood—it’s about ensuring balanced legendary distribution.
Saying these specs have access to legendaries ignores the fact that availability doesn’t equal benefit. Paladins have actively gained advantages from multiple legendaries, while others have been entirely left out. Dismissing this concern as an “emotional argument” ignores the real imbalance in game design
Ashbringer’s popularity doesn’t justify ignoring other reworked specs. If Season of Discovery introduces legendaries based on lore, Shamans and Holy Paladins—integral to WoW’s class fantasy—deserve legendary gear as well.
Arguing that “not every spec needs a legendary” misses the point. Blizzard has already handed multiple legendaries to some classes while leaving others empty-handed. That’s not a minor oversight—it’s a clear imbalance in how hero-tier specs are treated.
Sorry I main a prot paladin and I wasn’t handed Thunderfury. Where do I apply to get my second binding that didn’t drop in over 20 H3 runs?
Brushing off this issue with anecdotes about Thunderfury drop rates doesn’t change the fact that some classes were never given any legendaries at all, while others had multiple chances. This is about fairness, not individual luck. Should take this up with your guild. If you didn’t get the 1st one.
Finally, attacking the tone of the argument instead of engaging with the content is an attempt to deflect from the real issue. Legendary distribution in Season of Discovery is uneven, and Blizzard should ensure all hero-tier specs get meaningful legendary support.
