Vanilla did it best in my opinion. Seeing someone with Sulfuras or Thunderfury was always incredible. Of course everyone had one in classic but I think the idea of a rare and very hard to get item is the right idea, it makes the thing more special.
I think my favorite legendary implementation is the fangs of the father (I admittedly might be biased since it was my first legendary). I'll admit that a single class specific legendary was a bad idea, the way they implemented it was amazing. I love the quest versions of legendaries, I love that it requires you to do both raid and solo content, and I love that you had to have a good grasp on the full toolkit of the rogue to get through the solo bits. It was easily up there as one of my favorite experiences in wow, and if they eventually get to cataclysm classic, I'm gonna try and do it again. Plus I used those daggers all the way up to mists max level and only finally replaced them with daggers from the heroic dungeons.
You actualy missed a legendary weapon from classic/vanilla. Andonisus, Reaper of Souls - was a temporary legendary much like Tempest Keep, that dropped from a boss that will help the encounter. It dropped off Atiesh when doing Atiesh legendary staff questline. And trivia for those that dont know Atiesh is actualy a demon you have to fight.
legendaries in a nutshell. they started as coveted items that took incredible luck and grinding to get. now they are something everyone has and most people find boring.
untrue, old legendaries are mostly just stats stick - but more recent legendaries change the playstyle of your class and build most of the time, like the chain heal / lightning shaman legendary in shadowland.
@@ninjaman0003 except it isn’t “most”. Most implies a majority. Idk many people who have a problem with legendaries in SL. Everything needs to be equally attainable now or people get angry and modern legendaries are.
@@iHaveGrudgeAgainstUT So recent legendaries have become what raid tier set bonuses were and/or azerite armor was. I'm not against having something change playstyle but let's not pretend they aren't a substitute for things that were taken out of the game, tier sets/azerite armor/legion legendaries. Everything is a stat stick, what made legendaries legendary was the rarity/grind behind them which made them unique. Its nice they became more obtainable/beneficial but along the way lost what made them special.
I dislike the System of Legendarys in the last few Expansions a lot. Legendaries went from a totally epic and rare thing to a prerequisite that everyone must have...
I am a big casual so you'd think the current Legendary system would appeal to me and indeed I think Shadowland's Legendary system is interesting but I would really prefer they didn't be called Legendary and reserve that for the rare few true legendary items. Even if they are unobtainable for me, I would rather they be unobtainable than watered down. The reason they were added was because filthy casuals like me couldn't get them but that problem is kind of already solved with the flexibility of difficulties (and LFR). Blizzard seems keen to keep adding big long solo campaign like questlines so I am not sure why it doesn't end with something truly legendary.
@@shadowpriest2574 Hiru is actually the one who edited the video. Also idk what hiru did that made the one bow way stronger then the other, thoridal was far stronger in tbc, its super weird... Here is how the weapons actually looked. i.imgur.com/ZSBszw2.png i.imgur.com/Ta7JpHY.png
@@RazanaArcclaw He really needs to make sure when he's talking about an item that he shows a picture from the correct expansion, especially if he's comparing multiple items.
Wasn't Thori'dal laughed at by hunters because the same tier bows alongside with the best ammo in that tier were better dps overall? Yes, you do not need ammo BUT the ammo made the difference in this scenario.
Everytime I hear Thori'dal, I'm always reminded of how I was promised it since it was my first run, BUT THEN, it was given to the other hunter who joined in the middle of the run.................... I haven't seen it drop since that day.
Interesting thing about Shadowlands is that it appears that it’ll be the first xpac to have a legendary weapon as a straight drop since TBC with the new legendary hunter bow that will drop off of Sylvanas in the Sanctum of Domination raid.
@@HavocHounds1988 I think so, if I remember correctly it was only available from the demon you fight in Strat as part of the questline for Atiesh, and would only drop if you disarmed him which you would want to do since he hit very hard.
Since Blizz squished the levels i feel like they should have made all the legendaries max level items and be completely viable in current content. But then again we can just transmog them now so ya.
It would be if Blizzard didn't also have an extreme hard-on for removing the quests or drops associated with past legendaries just to piss off people collecting old irrelevant stuff.
Yeah, the focus of the game has shifted away from that. It's more about endgame raiding and dungeons now, and the idea that they'd force you to go through a whole long questline for something that is going to be BiS and almost required if you want to be competitive in raids is unthinkable now. It's a valid reason not to do it, imo, but it is a little sad as a casual player not being able to experience something like the Shadowmourne questline for myself.
I always wanted legendaries for everyone in old expansions, for example im wotlk you were automatically god tier end game if you were able to wield frostmourne
when talking about legendaries that disappear you forgot the sword you can get from the Atiesh quest (I wrote the name completely wrong I know) from the demon boss.
Vanilla is easily my favorite method. The Legendaries are supposed to benefit the guild they are in entirely (and Sulfuras is a meme I guess). That way it could be a rare drop that everyone would be excited for as it meant that guild got stronger.
Yeah the bow from TBC had such a huge amount of damage to compensate for the fact it didn't use ammo, and thus could not benefit from high quality ammo. So if they were to let it use ammo, they would have to balance it's damage around it, or it would be massively overpowered.
I preferred when legendaries were exclusive. Even though I never got one, it was still super cool to see them in person. They were trophies and that is what they should’ve been to this day.
I remember talking to a priest in my guild (what up Wintersong?) about late game epics and legendaries being replaced within the first few quests I'm BC. It was a head scratcher at the time.
Nice video! You just forgot the legendary essences of the heart of azeroth, that were only a cosmetic plus version of the epic ones. And also maybe the legendary bow dropped by Sylvanas on the 9.1 raid Pd: and I do not know if I'm wrong but I think there is or was also a Legendary Battle Pet.
Being a Rogue Thunderfury And The Warglaives were a wet dream. I only managed to snag a MH Glaive when it was current content. Never seen a Binding dropped in Vanilla. Quit wow in Wrath before Trials of the Crusade raid went live.
I think you missed one in vanilla! What about the legendary sword that drops off the atiesh quest in strath?? Unless I'm mistaken and it's just an epic. But the demon drops it.. and you pick it up to fight him
It always surprises me that when talking about Legion-daries they never mention the game Destiny, which was published by Activision. They took the system for legendaries (“exotics” in Destiny terms) and copied it wholesale into WoW. They even had a nod to the weekly exotic vendor in Dalaran. Xur in Destiny was a vendor who came every weekend for a limited time and sold a few specific legendaries each week. It was always a big thing what xur was selling each week because it was the only non-rng method of acquiring them. In Dalaran they added Xur’ios as a vendor who sold legendaries. It was a fun crossover as someone who played both games, but it was a godawful system. In Destiny, the Gjallerhorn was THE best exotic weapon you could get, and it was purely RNG if you had one (unless you bought it week one or the final week before D2 from Xur, cause Bungie are trolls). It didn’t matter if you were a good player for a lot of groups. No Gally? No invite.
This year I completed my Teragosa Staff quest I got half was done back in Cata like 2011 lol. Was when I stopped playing seriously and never gave it a second thought. So I completed a quest 12 years old in my quest log lol
I believe enchanted elementium bars are indeed legendary, but there's several other gathering/crafting materials which appear as legendary, so that'd be quite a bit to go over all of em
I like the SL legendary system. I understand people that dont but I think it’s just fine. Everyone in retail imagines they’re gonna be the next #1 in the world and get pissy if everything they need to accomplish that isn’t easily attainable. So even though I think long drawn out legendary quests would be cool, I don’t mind the current system either, and I understand why things are the way they are.
yeah hiru forgot to because of the current rush he's running though. Just called him out on the discord about it cause the throidal part is confusing because of it.
I still think they should have put frostmourne in WotLK, but have it be of Artifact rarity (deep red) and only have one per server for lore continuity and have it be absolutely unprecedentally overpowered, but only release it like 2 months before cata releases. I think that would have been cool
I like the way to implement Legendaries like the Fangs of the Father. An initial start, some really cool Lore-Quests. But I don't like the idea of class specific Legendaries. This way they have to go with Spec-Specific Leggy because otherwise most specs won't be played. If I think about it I kind of want something like the artifact weapons. But behind Solo and Raid Content with a Questline through the content.
I think you might forgot [Andonisus, Reaper of Souls] . I don't know how relevant it is or if even matter at all but hey is still a legendary from vanilla.
It should matter I think. True, it's only a limited legendary item that can only be obtained and used in Stratholme for a few minutes but so are the legendary weapons on Kael'Thas, and they were mentioned in the video.
You mentioned the temporary legendary weapons that dropped and were usable during the Kael thas fight in tbc, but you did no mention the temporary legendary weapon that dropped during the atiesh fight in vanilla. RIP
it might have been the popular opinion to give everyone a legendary back then but personally, I liked that only very few players had legendaries back in the days as it in fact made these items legendary. sure maybe if I were a progress foused player who cares about his stats I would have complained but i wasn't I just admired those carying legendaries
That's something GW2 fixes. Everyone can farm the items with the best stats just for minmaxing. But then there are also legendaries who take a few months to gather each for most people. They have the exact same stats as the best gear that is easily obtained. But as a bonus their stats can be freely and free changed to how you want to play at that moment and they also have an upgraded visual style showing effects around your character. And also ofc that if you had the gear with the best stats when the game launched, that is still the gear with the best stats today. No rng, no rat race, no resets every few months. Some games don't rely on abusing their player brain's weakness to constant small dopamine shots to keep them paying a subscription.
I wonder if Blizzard will add a item type above Legendary, not that I don't mind Legos. However, since Blizz went full Opera on us with Legos, they kinda don't feel Legendary anymore (Also probably due in part to "Choreghast", which isn't bad, per se. But I feel that farming instances that gave you more than 1 reward: Raids, Dungeosn, etc. Are a much more rewarding experience than just farming an instance for only 1 reward, imo). Probably will never happen, but eh.
Like 2 months ago i just said to myself, why not to focus on the obtaining these leggos, so right now i am lucky to already have Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker, Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury and The Twin Blades of Azzinoth (with last week kill of Timewalking Illidan)... Right now i am currently in progress of collection shards for Shadowmourne and Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings - this will take about 4-6 weeks according my calculation with drop rate for me and this week i just started farming Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros.... It's honestly pretty interesting farming this kind of weapons and i really like it. Unique special and part of history of WoW
You should use the tool tips and stats for the items as they were during the expansion in which they were obtained... Your example of thori'dal the stars' fury @5:05 makes no sense contextually because the stats on the golden bow of quel'thalas actually beat thori'dal, the stars' fury in the example you provided on screen...
Which ones of the old (pre-legion) legendaries are still obtainable? I know TF, sulfuras, shadowmourne, and daggers in cata, as I was working on those. Any others?
I miss the air of mystery vanilla wow had when it first came out. Seeing legendaries in the wild felt genuinely amazing. Now legendaries just feel like another prerequisite items for raids

I only remember seeing one person on my server with both and still remember his name as well.
Night Elf Rogue named Fold
I remember seeing a female Tauren warrior in full T6 wielding the glaives in battlegrounds. Literally tore people apart
As you included the Legendary weapons from KT in TBC you should have included Andonisus, Reaper of Souls from the Atiesh Boss fight.
Great vid. If you are open to suggestions, I think a video on the history of character titles would be neat!

Which ones of the old (pre-legion) legendaries are still obtainable? I know TF, sulfuras, shadowmourne, and daggers in cata, as I was working on those. Any others?
Sorry for late answer.
Twinblades, Tarecgosa, Thoridal, Val'anyr.
Damn homie chill.
I tot you will talk about how these legendaries are made and the baclstory behind them, guess I'm thinking too much.
You forgot the sword you can get from the atiesh boss
I'd like to see some kind of looooong class specific quests, to create a legendary gear piece.
There was a few in classic, but usually only rares. Such as the lv20-30 hammer for paladins.
People in retail don’t want that shit anymore and that’s just all there is to it.
I was one of the few that got Amun thuls vision
I think the main reason for level squish was someone at blizz could not do the math.
Off topic, is that the music from Hannibal Lectures cage in silence of the lambs?
you forgot 'peeps whistle' which was a gift to a kid for make a wish
This was debunked. The kid just got Ashes of Al'ar. The whistle was just a datamined item never added or given to anyone including the kid.
@@dfire27 True. Although apparently it eventually was transformed into Ashes.
the purple lv. 70 bow does more dps than the legendary
Urban myth. Thoridal does 165 dps. Golden Bow + Timeless Arrow is 152 DPS. Do the math.
Looks like you confirmed that the term "Legendary" got more meaningless over time in the game
It becomes rare to comman
@F Negros you channel name his been reported
Here I am with my Mud Splattering Wooden Hammer and my Viper Poison spiked 1h club
You missed Andonisus, Reaper of Souls if you really want to count that as a valid legendary item.
This video is gonna pop off
Still wish Benediction/Anathema was a legendary. Still had that that on my retail priest.
Sweet week, all thanks to you with your vids
I miss the air of mystery vanilla wow had when it first came out. Seeing legendaries in the wild felt genuinely amazing.
Now legendaries just feel like another prerequisite items for raids
Where is that video about opening the gates of AhnQiraj? UA-cam apparently does not want me to find it
The only thing I didn't like about the mop cloaks was the fact you had to PVP to get one of the steps done
it was very little PvP though and PvP was in a really good state to play too at the time
1:29 Theridan the windseeker.....WHAT?
Basically - started good, went bad, turned to very very bad, ended abysmal. Blizzard legendaries.
I love this streak of uploads
if you're going to include the Kaelthas legendaries then ya have to include [Andonisus, Reaper of Souls] right?
