Patrick Dawson, Production Director on Shadowlands , stated there would be no updates to Archaeology. That means that what exists now, for all previous expansions, will still be in the game. Just nothing new
This is what we know so far.

Or Blizzard can just stop making legendaries like Maw Rat Burgers? It’s really that simple. They make things that everyone in the know knows will be terrible, but they make them anyways, and they only exist as a trap because they’ll never be competitive from the outset. Blizzard won’t balance and we know they won’t balance them and Blizzard knows we know they won’t and they make them anyways. They’re just traps. It’s kind of sadistic in a way.

Nothing wrong with fun legendaries but you need to make them actually decent. And not well below average.

Blizzard memes about “0.5%” but the difference can range up to 15%.
I actually do like build defining legendaries but it makes no sense when Blizzard makes build-defining legendaries and then also makes “le meme” legendaries at the same time. They don’t mix at all.
Maybe they intend for people to have a second legendary equip at some point. Sometimes BlizZard needs to communicate their intent better. With that said they need to balance rarely used legendaries.
How to fix legendaries which have been bad since legion (but when they were random drops it wasn’t as bad)
-
if everyone will have one stop calling them legendaries. Instead, I suggest “class essences”.
-
take the UI from essences in BfA and you slot in the class essence power you want at the time in your covenant hall at a table.

Improving some content so that its a better experience is worthy of a patch update. I’m looking forward to the revamed torghast.
Class balance is a double edge sword. Shake it up too much and you get just as many people complaining that their class/spec isn’t meta anymore or they are “forced” to reroll after putting so much time to it.
Blizz once said azerite balance took time away from class balance, so it makes sense again with covenant stuff I guess.
Are you sure?

Yep! I’ve ran through it a couple times on ptr. It’ll be a good challenge to get that horse mount.
Yes.
City of Heroes for the win!

No matter how you look at it the patch is still worth staying subbed for and playing.
Guess it had the opposite effect on me. Pretty much unsubbed instantly.

Welp, good luck out there. Many people say the same thing but decide to “come back” even during the same patch.
While I agree with all of this, I wanted to add that it is likely an intentional part of the design to not have every possible spec, covenant, soulbind, legendary combination be viable or “optimal” in every situation.
I think they purposefully are providing an opportunity for players to make meaningful choices, similar to what the philosophy of the old talent trees were. This is a pvp spec set up. This is a raid tank set up focusing on mitigation. This is a “dungeon” tank set up picking talents for added dps at the expense of mitigation. This is my spell damage tanking set. This is my uncrushable raid boss tanking set. Etc etc.
Personally, I think soul ash should be farmable so people can craft as many legendaries as they want, and swap them in and out as they please.
I don’t see any reason against having one mage spec and gear for great aoe, and another for single target, and a third for world questing conveniences, and another for pvp etc.
If I missed your point a bit I apologize.
regarding the BS line we were given about archeology
Adding content for the super casual is what keeps the lights on. Whales are nice… but cmon.

I’m still miffed at the absolute travesty regarding class changes. They kneecapped a few meta specs, and basically emergency buffed the bottom three, and left everyone else in the middle to rot.
u cant get a tickle then , is imposable

Thats a form of balance though. You keep everyone in the same area you adjust outliers.
