Aren’t legendaries supposed to be overpowered? That’s the whole point. It feels like a good thing legendary weapons are epically awesome again. Legion-Shadowlands kinda ruined the fact that they’re legendaries.
It’s looking to be mythic raid only so not many people are even going to get it. Blizzard didn’t announce it would drop in other difficulties like the Evoker legendary. Also its not as good as gaval was, gaval was so good that guardian druids wanted it to despite it having str.
can confirm, up until Bliz nerfed its use with a level restriction, it literally was the best weapon to have even at lvl 70 (at least as a fresh 70) the thing was insane for leveling.
Good thing we have meta data from warcraft logs and Raider IO. You can go look at thousands (tens of thousands eventually) of parses. Instead of basing class performance on a random report on the internet like the one you just gave.
Ret is mid in raid roughly where warrior is in terms of damage. Tens of thousands of parses demonstrate this.
It’s true Warrior performance is relatively weak in M+ although there are several classes performing even worse, Locks, DKs, shadow, WW, shaman. Ret is a smidge better than Warrior in mythic plus, upper middle of the pac. DH and Hunters are easily the best DPS specs in M+ with Mages/Rogues rounding out the top 4.
If you break it down by spec…
Out of 24 DPS specs roughly 25% of the players completing high keys are made up of BM and Havoc.
This is where the balancing needs to occur. Those specs need to be tuned down to earth and the worst performing classes need some love in M+.
Meh, I’ve had my beacon crit for over 2m a couple times on a single target elite. I’m not really worried about this axe making things much more imbalanced tbh. It’ll feel powerful for sure but hardly overpowered
Spoiler alert: it’s only marginally better than some of the other end game weapons from this boss. I’ll take a few % less dps for no cost to me other than time to kill the boss.
blizz just knows that 2h str users (and 2h enhance shaman sympathizers) are the biggest babies in the game, and they need to have enough ammunition from shadowmourne and fyraxe so that they can justify dragonwrath 2.0 next expansion
