EU+US [CONFIRMED] GAMEBREAKING new 19 item!!

[ShinyHero]

Imagine a lvl 10 monk twink with 2x these

 

[ShinyHero]

Are these BiS for outside bgs too ?

 

[partygirl]

it's fun for me

its fun for noobs (

 

[Vianco]

It ain't that bad imo. Biggest problem is that even more people are now playing rogues

 

[partygirl]

Kek...
What would be better is if some of these DPS "noobs" )you all's words not mine) tried rolling heals instead of DPS.
Healing is where it is at!

I pretty much only played healers when i played 19s

I found out yesterday evening how exactly it works, it's just another instance/phasing thing.

When you enter the area there are either;

1. Warmongerer guards.
2. Wraithguard Servitor guards (these drops the blade, none of the other mobs do).

All you can do is pray for the 2nd one, cause then you can farm ~2-3 every 10 minutes. No need to kill any other mobs either.

Also it doesn't seem to do much for me at level 50, not outside of BG's or inside BG's or inside instances.

While these swords are by far Bis for some brackets, they dont seem particularly Op, not game-breakingly so atleast.

Its really only for outlaw rogue that it becomes OP. Everything else is a relatively small ilvl boost (maybe .5% stats or something). Mainhand outlaw rogues it doubles their ability damage.

It still hardly seems overpowered in a bracket where priests are gods and warriors can destroy any class 1v1 (19's specifically)... Just my opinion though.

Opening with a 1500 ambush puts them from strong to pretty OP. Makes rogues much better at quick kills and flag returns.

Are warriors really that strong? Arms or fury? I haven't played them yet in legion. Side note, prot warrior can make good use of the legion blade. Might even make them viable given their crazy stun talents.

Ive tried it on 10 rogue and 19 rogue, and was unimpressed on the 19. while it did boost damage a little, it really shines on the 10.
Still, its not ground breaking. Geared priests are still a pain in the ass. If you guys look on Wowhead, there are other items to be found with the same ilvl and no req. level in Legion, weapons and gear. Looks like there is 1 of each type of item for each class. Looking more like an Easter Egg basket from Blizzard for us. Happy hunting.

Last few games I played, I had a pair of Common Legion Blades on my 19. I definitely saw a noticeable damage difference, but it wasn't overwhelming. In those last few games, arms warriors with ilvl 27ish gear were doing shitloads of damage. They were easily topping damage on the leaderboard. I saw one 2 shot another rogue who was wearing mostly BoAs with his parry up(though I think he had a few empty slots in his loadout.)

So in short, the swords are really strong, but not ridiculously so. Games play pretty much the same as they have. Arms and priests are top dog, ferals are really strong too. And I've seen an arcane mage top the board a few times too, which seems odd to me.

Interesting. Here's the weapon list. Looks like the sword is the only one with data on where it drops. Theres also some armor. But again, only the common legion sword has been found as far as I know.

So either theres a bunch of random grays out there for us to find, or they were all removed and the common legion blade got passed over on accident. Survival hunter, warriors, ret pallies, and enhance shamans all might get 5.0 weapons to break their weapon damage abilities. Theres no equivalent gun/bow listed, so marksman/BM hunters don't get crazy weapons.

You just know it's me

 

[artonkn]

they don't matter at all for monks, we don't benefit from the slow atk speed and the ilvl still don't bring us over the cap

ty for gold tho

Did they noramlize weapon speed in instanced PvP? Not feeling a huge impact of the swords like I did the first game I played (literally only played 2 games, but were many days apart)

Not that I know of, but I haven't used the sword (or played 19s in the past few days) . Your character sheet in a BG/arena should show you your weapon speed. Also take a look at the ambush tooltip damage. It should be around 1350 with the legion blade IIRC. If your char sheet's dps or weapon speed is showing 2.6 or w/e, then they may have normalized it. If the legion blade ambush damage is far away from 1350, then thats a trigger that something was fixed as well.

3.46 attack speed and 1.1k ambush tooltip
Ambush is hitting for ~600 though

Thats pretty interesting. Mind throwing on the 2.8 speed heirloom sword/mace and looking at the attack speed, ambush tooltip, and ambush actual as well?

so are they not that op someone fill me in
