Is anyone else mad about our bis legendries dropping from denathrius and a world boss while others are getting theirs from just regular dungeons?

Those “easy” regular dungeon legos are on like a 0.5% drop rate soooooooo… no, can’t say I’m terribly jealous.

at least you can spam them
My feelings are mixed.
I’m kinda glad that our BiS is behind some of the more difficult content, as it gives us something to be excited about. Even if that first raid run ends up a bust for getting gear, we’re still getting a few legendary effects out of it guaranteed! (or at least, I heard that sources with weekly lockouts always drop them). It’s a little more rewarding than dungeon spamming until you get it.
The part that makes this bad is that it’s a departure from the norm. If every class had their BiS locked behind raid release, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Currently, out of all of the choices DK has across all specs, I think only Bryndaor’s Might is worth investing all that soul ash in, and it requires you to either be skilled at death strikes or taking the Voracious talent (in which case it’s effectively a permanent passive).
Heck, I’m going for for the Phearomones legendary to use with Night Fae’s Death’s Due, and I’m not going to be able to touch it until the great vault opens, which means waiting at least a full week after the raid has already released.

Frenzied monstrosity is Bis in my opinion not deadliest coil. Its second best single target, but huge for aoe, with coil being ONLY single target, making frenzied by far the best all around unholy leggo.

Frenzied M+ , but almost a guarantee deadliest coil is pulling ahead in a raid environment
no they aren’t its ~4%, which is approx 25 dungeons. I helped a friend spam it and he got his(as did others) reasonably quick.
people are just stupid and qoute wowhead drop rates without realizing the vast majority of people who loot that boss can’t actually loot the conduit(so the actual rate is going to be ~12x higher)

Lmao no, 1st heroic I did in SL was last night and one dropped. The one that buffs death coil and strike, lowers the CD on death and decay.
The drop rate will be higher than .5, and one of our bus legendary items tied to a world boss is idiotic. One chance a month. Stupid reward design, the OP is bang on.
Also bad luck protection.

I made a thread back in october and 0 people replied… maybe had someone complained WITH me then - we wouldn’t still have that problem at launch, but apparently nobody cares until they put 2 and 2 together

Wow
Reading all this color me lucky.
My Sub Rogue leggo dropped from the 1st boss in Theatre of Pain. Felt bad leaving that instance everytime.
And I just got Death’s Certainty after 5-6 runs?
Just curious why Death’s Certainty doesn’t sim higher? Does it not stack with the Sudden Doom damage conduit? Would be nice for UH to have a heavy hitter.
And they just buffed the droprates for dungeon legendries
I don’t know about whether it works with Sudden Doom, but the problem with Death’s Certainty is that it’s a jack of all trades, master of none in a bad way.
You’re almost never going to see the benefit of D&D’s cooldown reduction due to Epidemic > Death Coil in aoe (which largely nullifies the value of increased death coil damage), and you’ll never use D&D in st unless you went with Night Fae.
The damage increase is nice, but the big issue with DK right now that makes Deadliest Coil so much better is that we’re resource starved, especially in single target encounters. Not missing a GCD that you would’ve missed otherwise is a lot more damage than +45% to Death Coil, and Deadliest Coil is great at it. Being able to Death Coil 33% more often (albeit not including Sudden Doom procs) nearly pays for itself, and will additionally net you more resources (more chances at Runic Corruption) to cast other abilities. Pair this with extending Unholy Transformation, which has strong value in all content.
Death’s Certainty will grow a bit more in relative value if our resource problems are addressed, and it will be fantastic if we’re ever allowed to run 2 Legendaries at once like in Legion.

No, I am not mad. Got my BiS Fury Legendary, don’t care. Unholy has way better Legendaries than most classes sim wise I do believe.
I think this a universal truth and not your opinion.
