Which is the best balance legendary for PVP and PVE with the upcoming nerfs in 9.1? I’m not sure which legendary I should create. Should I just hold off for now and save my soul ash?
Save your ash, might get new memories
Hold off. If you’re fae the convoke legendary is potentially interesting.
I don’t think BOAT will really change unless we get more legendary choices that are actually meaningful. The change to the current best leggy really won’t means we’ll do more damage with it over the course of Eclipse but the damage will be less bursty.
Either way, save your ash and wait until tuning passes have happened and likely the first round of Heroic tuning changes for the next raid shortly after 9.1 is released.
Definitely hold off. We don’t know if they’re going to further tune, or where balance will end up.
If I had to speculate as of right now, BoaT would still be bis single target, but would be a lot worse in M+ (specifically after Prideful rotates). That being said, speculation is pretty much meaningless at this point.
Agree with the others that speculation is largely uninformed due to lack of information (or not knowing if/when something will change). If BOAT is not bis, convoke or arcanic pulsar is potentially the new bis. However, depending on the fight, Circle of Life and Death could be ahead on spread cleave where our dots actually matter.
I also agree that you should just hold your ash. I am doing that.
It’s called “Be a Mage”.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that. Mage got its own share of tweaks going into 9.1 and its likely we may see a complete shift in the meta dps classes entirely barring what Blizzard allows to go live on the PTR and what they continue to tune.
