@@zuralani1 that has to be the dumbest suspicion I've ever heard. Blizz aren't setting the value of multiple crafting mats on the AH. Also the price changed dramatically over time, especially as we got closer to the end of the expac. It would have only ever been "suspiciously close" to the gold price of a WoW token (another fluctuating value btw) for a few weeks at most.
It is pretty funny how despite not being available as a legendary, Ashbringer is still imo a strong contender on the list simply because of how iconic it is.
MoP cloak was truly the best thing ever. The effects, the insane amount of grind and the patience involved was so rewarding in the end. The chef's kiss were the procc visuals and I am SO happy that there are the MoP remix toys now to grant ppl the visual proccs again
@@ianbattles7290 I don't think rarity is what makes something legendary. It's how you achieve it. MOP takes you on a long story questline, battling different bosses & gives you so much cool stuff up until you get it.
@@ianbattles7290 That I think is the key divide between oldschool WoW players and newschool WoW players. Oldschool players prefer to have very little shot at seeing certain content and items so that IF they see it it's more satisfying whereas Newschool believes that anything that is too gated from them is Blizzard scamming off their sub.
@@jshtng78 gating items behind absurdly low rng is not the same as gating it behind dedication and/or skill. It's very reasonable for people to prefer the 2nd. Even more so when you consider that we not only pay full AAA game price for every expansion, but also pay for a monthly subscription.
I was lucky enough to be given my guild’s first Staff of Tarecgosa as a shadow priest. I just came back to wow and I love dragon riding as Tarecgosa. I didn’t know Kalec gives you a mount so I’m so glad I found this video. Thank you!
What's missing from the Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker background is how complicated was crafting of the Enchanted Elementium Bars back in the day. Part of the mats were just simply expensive to purchase, but the ingots dropped from another raid, and you needed a priest to mind control a named NPC in that raid to teach a player the recipe to smelt it.
I had a TF in Vanilla and I can confirm it took nearly my whole guild donating mats and gold (they 100% volunteered it was very sweet) to get all of the bars done over the course of a couple of months.
@@TacticalPlaytime It made sense for guilds to chip in. Even though on the surface it was practically giving money so just one player could get an item, Having a Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker equipped tank was a game changer for AOE pulls (and for single target bosses it was noteable difference too). Warrior tanks during classic (and TBC) struggled with threat generation on multiple targets, the proc of Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker was so influential I kept using mine in TBC heroics and trash pulls up to tier 5 or 6.
@@tenkowal Absolutely. We had a large enough guild where if everyone chipped in just a little it would make our raid experience better moving forward. I had mine pretty early as well so being able to take it though Naxx, AQ40, BWL was awesome. And same here I absolutely held onto mine for a while after BC dropped. I don't remember when I stopped using it but it probably stayed equipped longer than it should have and I was absolutely devastated when I replaced it hahahah
Generally you had to be a GM to get it. I was in a guild in classic wow who's guild leader took his time but, over about 6 months got it. And then he sold his account and disbanded the guild. Luckily the guild exists without him and is better now too but, yeah. He was selfish and also occasionally chased people away constantly with other things during that time.
@@MoneyHoneyBunny Luckily our guild was an amazing group of people. Once the first binding dropped we discussed and we all agreed it should go to a tank. Another discussion about which tank and I was the "main" tank at the time so they decided to stick it with me. And absolutely no one was forced into helping or anything. We had a list of what materials we needed and told folks they could drop those mats off on the bank if they had some. Or just gold to buy the mats. Everyone chipped in. It was awesome. I was their main tank all the way through Cata
As a Restoration Druid main, Val'anyr is my favorite because it's so cool when it procs and then cast tranquility and see so many shields. Druids can't give out shields so it's really fun to use
In bfa. My buddies and I did a challenge run where we all used legendaries instead of our weapons. Our healer used that and the shields actually still worked lol. We made it to +10s. Couldn't time anymore lol
As someone who played in vanilla, I think Thunderfury is so iconic because it looked soooo cool compared to the other vanilla weapons. I still remember the first time I saw it at menethil harbor
Mops cloaks are probably also somewhat responsible for the Mage Towers existence. One Part of the Quest was to complete one of the 4 Celestials Challenge, wich was a seriously hard for a quest back then, especially since you had to do it solo, and i dont think challenging solo content was really a thing until then
I loved the idea of Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings as a legendary but hated the random drop to craft it. But, as a shaman or Druid having bubbles was pretty rad. It had an awesome design as well.
I think the Fangs of the Father should be ranked higher--and not just because I main a rogue. Your description of it COMPLETELY overlooks a very fun aspect of that quest chain. There were multiple challenges that required using a rogue's full toolkit to succeed in. It required knowledge of the class to achieve. The closest thing I can think of is the breaker of the black harvest feat for Warlocks (and to a much lesser extent, the Wrathion challenges for the MoP cloak). For example, you had stealth missions where you had to stealth past hyper-aware enemies (this is where they started the "circle to show where you're seen" mechanic that appeared in some quests after cataclysm), there was the challenge with Nalice where you had to use expose armor to remove her damage reduction bubble (and if you didn't know this, you were guaranteed to fail that challenge)
NO ATIESH?! Atiesh is absolutely #1 with no close second. The grind you had to do on the hardest raids in vanilla was iconic. Also, hardly anyone got to even do Vanilla Nax so having this weapon was an absolute status symbol. And that’s not even talking about the lore significance. I mean cmon, it’s medivh’s staff that the mages of dalaran destroyed because it was driving people insane and once you had the frame of the weapon completed you had to go into Strat to summon a demon to cleanse it. The demon was the literal hand of Sargeras which was one of the earliest mentions of him in the game which was chilling AND if you disarm his weapon it was a different legendary that you could use in the fight which gave you perspective and just made you feel puny and insignificant in scale compared to the forces of the twisting nether. Cmonnn man. Nothing compares to Atiesh. For it to not even make the list is insane.
A fun trivia to Thunderfury is it also referenced in Enter The Gungeon, a game that pulls from various meme and nerd cultures to populate it's items. Gunderfury is a really special weapon that takes forever to quest up, and this is in a Roguelite of all games.
I feel the most impressive thing about thinderfury was totally missed here. It was the BIS tank weapon for all of vanilla and most of tbc. The only other legendary that comes remotely close in staying power was val'anyr
When i got back into mop. I was trying to get the cloak only to find out a part of chain of the quest got removed and i couldn't get it anymore. I got back in around 2 months before the per patch for wod.
Well I mean... the supposed first one to ever drop was given to a rogue. Apparently because the auto created ammo was ass compared to the stuff you could buy for a normal ranged weapon.
Ah yes, Thori'Dal, the only legendary weapon with a less then legendary "effect"... Quick joke: What's the diference between Thori'Dal and any regular ass bow? A: Neither needs ammo to shoot, but Thori'Dal is the only bow that brags about it !
@@Fabriciod_Crv I know, i did play back then. Also, iirc, the epic bow from Sunwell raid + arrows from the Scales of Sand rep were better for hunters then Thori'Dal. Poor hunter could never get a break. Years later, new leg bow drops from Sylvannus and it was a pita to get and almost no hunter i know got it.
@@josejuanandrade4439i got it from my vault one week. Didn't even even tho it could happen but I was so gobsmacked just before fared raids came out and I was able to get the quiver too and I felt so op for that brief moment 🤣😭
Fun Fact Neltharion creating shadowflame is actually a plot hole because the Warlock ability Hand of Gul'Dan deals shadowflame dmg in the game. If Neltharion created shadowflame then how do the demons have it.
The expansion-spanning questline for legendary item was such a great idea that they did it again in the next expansion^^ Shame the rings weren't as good as cloaks, but still pretty neat. Personally I'd like if they did something like this again, dunno about War Within but maybe Midnight?
@16:50 They are Illidan's weapons, but for World of Warcraft. The original-original Warglaives from Warcraft 3 are NOT green (as far as i remember) and at the middle point of each blade (where Illidan was holding them) there was the face of a Pandaren... just a little FYI for new players or old gamers. :) Let's see who noticed this little detail in Illidan's blades. :)
10:01 Fangs of the Father. If you have completed the quest, Wrathion has extra dialogue for you in MoP - when you speak to him he reminisces about the quest.
About Thunderfury, as far as I know back in the days before WoWHead it was common to inspect others and link cool items you'd see. I think many people would inspect other people just to learn what a specific item looked like and what were its stats. Of course, when the Thunderfuries showed up people would be linking that, and that would then be linked all across the chats from guilds to generals to whispers to guilds to generals to barrens chat like a never ending wave. At least that was how my first encounter with many high level items, including Thunderfury, happened. So it's natural that "Have you seen xx" becomes a joke once most people have seen it.
honorable mention the legendary rings from wod i really liked the idea of the dps one the most, you would pop it and your whole raid would get the a damage buff the person who popped the ring does a giant explosion of all of the damage they did in the window it was up it was really fun to use
Willing to submit that corrupted Ashbringer from Naxx, while Epic, should be number 2 behind Atiesh. Only Corrupted I have seen in person was my original Moonrunner guild main Pally healer. We had 4H on farm and it dropped once in 4 months. Still, my bird on a stick still brings everyone around when I park with it equipped
As a hunter main who did mythic sylvanas at the time i can clearly tell you that the legendary effect of the bow did not deal "a massive amount of dmg", it was quite underwhelming and only BIS because of the itemlvl :) The silence effect was mostly useful in m+.
Man, I have 4 1/2 weapons on this list. Have one singular Warglaive of Azzinoth, havent gotten the other to drop. Aside from the Blood Infusion of Shadowmourne, Thunderfury was the most obnoxious because farming the 100 arcane crystals for the arcanite bars. I refused to buy any of it, so 3 1/2 hours of farming later I had my [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker].
Great list and video as always hiruma. But this does remind me of how Shaman always get screwed when it comes to legendaries.... especially the melee spec Enhancement. Sure, resto could get the valnyr hammer and elemental get the taregosa staff.... but Enhancement gets nothing! We got Sulfuras in vanilla but enhance was a lower priority compared to warr or pally or another 2H melee class. Enhance can't use SWORDS unfortunetly, which really sucks because there are alot of cool unique weapons that are designed for swords or for 2H weapons, but not a 1H weapon (axe, mace, fist) that enhance shaman can use . Some classes like Hunter have gotten two exclusive legendary bows, rogues got their daggers, and something like Thunderfury was given to tanks like warrior or dps like rogue.... but no shaman cause no swords :( You would think a weapon dropped by a wind storm elemental that procs a chain lightning could be used by shaman but nope. A fireflame themed weapon like Fyralath would have been perfect fit for Enhance too but also a 2H weapon. Same with Shadowmourne that was 2H and very DK themed. I would love to see Shaman get an exclusive legendary in the next xpac, which we can transform based on our spec so Enh Ele and Resto can all use it.... but I wouldn't mind just a simple 1H axe, fist, mace legendary that would work for Enhancement. An expac like Cataclysm seemed like the perfect xpac to showcase the Shaman class and give them a proper unique legendary since we had to battle both the Air and Fire Elemental lords, but we got screwed out of anything cool and unique. Even the first Fist legendary weapon Nazsuro that was made was given exclusively to Evokers when the class that seems most iconic for using a fist weapon would be an Enhancement Shaman.... plus Nazuros special proc effect for the Order sphere that buffs an ally also fits the theme of ENH being a support class that enhances itself and its allies. To all the Shaman... let us pray to the Elements that we finally get a proper legendary made just for Shaman. And even better, remove the weapon restriction so that Shaman can finally use swords and open up more options for weapon choices and transmogs. I get the lore reason why they didn't allow shaman to use swords way back in vanilla.... but times have changed and this restriction is just stupid and limiting now. Even classes like Monks, who traditionally only use stuff like fist and staff weapons can use plenty of other melee weapons like polearms, swords, maces, ect. So I think Shaman should be able to use swords just like every other dual weild melee class spec.
Imagine how Druids feel. Especially non-resto specs. The Emerald Dream _finally_ comes to the game as a complete zone, including its own raid. The perfect time for the Druids to get their first exclusive legendary. But, oh wait... it's just another 2H strength axe for plate-wearers (Shadowmourne 2.0), as if they haven't already been swimming in legendaries. I seriously struggle to understand why Blizzard made that decision.
Honestly, I would move both Tarecgosa and Fangs up a space, as they are the only ones (besides Thorisdal, but that is more the attack effects) to have unique body based visual effects. Fangs gave the rogue Deathwing like wings, even outside the on use, whenever it procced, and as long as the proc was active, and then obviously Tarec's is better than it, so a step higher is normal.
I definitely think that Atiesh, Great Staff of the Guardian should have been on this list, even if just for the fact that its impossible to start the quest line anymore
@@josejuanandrade4439 The number 1 position in this list is a legendary cloak everyone and their mother got back in MoP. It wasn't hard to get like at ALL
@@josejuanandrade4439 Plus there were some legendaries from Legion that COMPLETELY changed how a class was played. The ring he mentioned in specific was GOATED by the end of legion
The evoker legendary actually prioritizes the evoker. So while yeah, it's not always on self... it's most often on self. Just a note from an evoker player. Also how do the WoD rings not make this list in terms of power level?
Imo, the WoD rings are still one of the cooler legendaries. I can't think of anything else in the game outside of lust where one person would proc a buff on the entire raid/party to do a drastic increase in dps/throughput. Still one of the more unique legendary effects the devs have created, even if it just a ring and therefore has no visual tmog.
As a mage main that got blamed because of thunderfury screw that item. It used to break CC and cause me to lose dps having to kite the mob further away from the tank so they stop breaking it as they try to pull it back. So many fights...
I feel like the dragonflight legendaries should be a bit higher up on the list simply based off the fact NO ONE could get the legendaries until the raid had been cleared on mythic. AFTER that is when any bad luck protection started. It was mythic only til someone got them
I prefer the borrowed power scheme from BFA over legendaries, tier sets, etcetera !¡! Borrowed power in 9.3 was the best WOW has *EVER* been for me personally !
Tsk Tsk Tsk. Valanyr, Shadowmourne, Tarecgosa and now Fyralat. Of course the cloak and ring but i believe you meant weapons. Is so cool when you get one of these when relevant and then you also get to use them while leveling in the next expansion. Is been a while since i leveled through MoP weilding Tarecgosa. But now i will be able to level several chars through TWW with Fyralat
Legendary items are all well and good but nothing compares to a Stoneskin Gargoyle Cape, although it has been so long I can no longer remember what it looks like…
We are going to funnel dragonswrath to a shaman on firelands launch, because the mastery can proc off the effect and visversa procing like old school windfury and blasting stupid amounts of lava blasts
I've been trying to get the dreamrender since the raid released on my warrior. Use the greater embers and even with the awakening event I still run amidrassil. I think the items that are suppose to increase your chance is just copium items. Blizzard using them so players will keep playing even when they have ever other piece of gear available.
Evoker legendary while i still mained evoker was the first legendary i got when it was current content… now being an unholy dk going forward im trying to get the axe… eventually…
Yeah there is missing the legendary bow from the sun well and then there is the maze from ulduar you can craft after collecting 20 legendary ingots from bosses
That reminds me. On Cata releaze i ran myself through MC on my lvl 55 worgen warrior and got the eye of Sulfuras... Before reaching lvl 60 i had Sulfuras in my bag... I leveled through Outland with Sulfuras equiped... good times.

10:01 Fangs of the Father. If you have completed the quest, Wrathion has extra dialogue for you in MoP - when you speak to him he reminisces about the quest.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing
About Thunderfury, as far as I know back in the days before WoWHead it was common to inspect others and link cool items you'd see. I think many people would inspect other people just to learn what a specific item looked like and what were its stats. Of course, when the Thunderfuries showed up people would be linking that, and that would then be linked all across the chats from guilds to generals to whispers to guilds to generals to barrens chat like a never ending wave. At least that was how my first encounter with many high level items, including Thunderfury, happened.
So it's natural that "Have you seen xx" becomes a joke once most people have seen it.
honorable mention the legendary rings from wod i really liked the idea of the dps one the most, you would pop it and your whole raid would get the a damage buff the person who popped the ring does a giant explosion of all of the damage they did in the window it was up it was really fun to use
Ok...now you have to do a video about the various Artifact Weapons in Legion :D
I kinda like the Warcraft III Warglaives with the pandas on them, I think it'd be hilarious if there was an alternative version in WoW too
dude who let you make this list
i loved the fangs questline
Nobody is mentioning the dancing shadowmourne, im a bit disappointed ^^
Willing to submit that corrupted Ashbringer from Naxx, while Epic, should be number 2 behind Atiesh. Only Corrupted I have seen in person was my original Moonrunner guild main Pally healer. We had 4H on farm and it dropped once in 4 months. Still, my bird on a stick still brings everyone around when I park with it equipped
Yikes. Imagine putting some stupid cloak before Sulfuras, Thunderfury and Atiesh...
Worst even, a cloak that everybody and their mothert got... Like... damn...
As a hunter main who did mythic sylvanas at the time i can clearly tell you that the legendary effect of the bow did not deal "a massive amount of dmg", it was quite underwhelming and only BIS because of the itemlvl :) The silence effect was mostly useful in m+.
wow do top 10 expansions next. i wanna see which ones make that list
According to this list, you know it's gonna be either wod or cata😂
Man, I have 4 1/2 weapons on this list. Have one singular Warglaive of Azzinoth, havent gotten the other to drop. Aside from the Blood Infusion of Shadowmourne, Thunderfury was the most obnoxious because farming the 100 arcane crystals for the arcanite bars. I refused to buy any of it, so 3 1/2 hours of farming later I had my [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker].
Great list and video as always hiruma. But this does remind me of how Shaman always get screwed when it comes to legendaries.... especially the melee spec Enhancement. Sure, resto could get the valnyr hammer and elemental get the taregosa staff.... but Enhancement gets nothing! We got Sulfuras in vanilla but enhance was a lower priority compared to warr or pally or another 2H melee class. Enhance can't use SWORDS unfortunetly, which really sucks because there are alot of cool unique weapons that are designed for swords or for 2H weapons, but not a 1H weapon (axe, mace, fist) that enhance shaman can use .
Some classes like Hunter have gotten two exclusive legendary bows, rogues got their daggers, and something like Thunderfury was given to tanks like warrior or dps like rogue.... but no shaman cause no swords :( You would think a weapon dropped by a wind storm elemental that procs a chain lightning could be used by shaman but nope. A fireflame themed weapon like Fyralath would have been perfect fit for Enhance too but also a 2H weapon. Same with Shadowmourne that was 2H and very DK themed.
I would love to see Shaman get an exclusive legendary in the next xpac, which we can transform based on our spec so Enh Ele and Resto can all use it.... but I wouldn't mind just a simple 1H axe, fist, mace legendary that would work for Enhancement. An expac like Cataclysm seemed like the perfect xpac to showcase the Shaman class and give them a proper unique legendary since we had to battle both the Air and Fire Elemental lords, but we got screwed out of anything cool and unique. Even the first Fist legendary weapon Nazsuro that was made was given exclusively to Evokers when the class that seems most iconic for using a fist weapon would be an Enhancement Shaman.... plus Nazuros special proc effect for the Order sphere that buffs an ally also fits the theme of ENH being a support class that enhances itself and its allies.
To all the Shaman... let us pray to the Elements that we finally get a proper legendary made just for Shaman. And even better, remove the weapon restriction so that Shaman can finally use swords and open up more options for weapon choices and transmogs. I get the lore reason why they didn't allow shaman to use swords way back in vanilla.... but times have changed and this restriction is just stupid and limiting now. Even classes like Monks, who traditionally only use stuff like fist and staff weapons can use plenty of other melee weapons like polearms, swords, maces, ect. So I think Shaman should be able to use swords just like every other dual weild melee class spec.
Imagine how Druids feel. Especially non-resto specs.
The Emerald Dream _finally_ comes to the game as a complete zone, including its own raid. The perfect time for the Druids to get their first exclusive legendary. But, oh wait... it's just another 2H strength axe for plate-wearers (Shadowmourne 2.0), as if they haven't already been swimming in legendaries.
I seriously struggle to understand why Blizzard made that decision.
Honestly, I would move both Tarecgosa and Fangs up a space, as they are the only ones (besides Thorisdal, but that is more the attack effects) to have unique body based visual effects. Fangs gave the rogue Deathwing like wings, even outside the on use, whenever it procced, and as long as the proc was active, and then obviously Tarec's is better than it, so a step higher is normal.
I definitely think that Atiesh, Great Staff of the Guardian should have been on this list, even if just for the fact that its impossible to start the quest line anymore
Thanks Hiru
It took me nearly 5 YEARS of grinding Molten Core every single week to get Thunderfury.
saw this video a few days after i got an eye of sulfuras so i decided to watch it farming up arcane crystals for it right now
That one ring Legion legendary better be on this...
He didn't include any legendaries from Legion. Shit list IMO
@@paulosouza449 A legendary you get because you pick up a rock ain't that cool imo.
@@josejuanandrade4439 The number 1 position in this list is a legendary cloak everyone and their mother got back in MoP. It wasn't hard to get like at ALL
@@josejuanandrade4439 Plus there were some legendaries from Legion that COMPLETELY changed how a class was played. The ring he mentioned in specific was GOATED by the end of legion
Aman'Thul's Vision is THE ONLY special legendary from Legion. It is the only one worthy of being on this list
Speaking of legion legendary items, i still miss that necklace that gave me a bubble.
The evoker legendary actually prioritizes the evoker. So while yeah, it's not always on self... it's most often on self. Just a note from an evoker player. Also how do the WoD rings not make this list in terms of power level?
Wow number 1 was a curve ball I hadn’t considered but I agree these cloaks were so damn good.
Took since wrath when i started trying, but i got that stupid ragnaros eye back in February and finally got my hammer
Imo, the WoD rings are still one of the cooler legendaries. I can't think of anything else in the game outside of lust where one person would proc a buff on the entire raid/party to do a drastic increase in dps/throughput. Still one of the more unique legendary effects the devs have created, even if it just a ring and therefore has no visual tmog.
Glaives and Thunderfury should be 1 and 2 in some order. MoP cloak being 1 is wild to me, especially having played then.
As a mage main that got blamed because of thunderfury screw that item. It used to break CC and cause me to lose dps having to kite the mob further away from the tank so they stop breaking it as they try to pull it back. So many fights...
take a shot everytime he says “Fie-Rack”
been trying to get the second bindings of the windseeker for like 2 or 3 months now lol
I feel like the dragonflight legendaries should be a bit higher up on the list simply based off the fact NO ONE could get the legendaries until the raid had been cleared on mythic. AFTER that is when any bad luck protection started. It was mythic only til someone got them
I got Fangs of the Father back in BfA, but I can't even transmog them.
I always despised Thunderfury. It is simply too big for a one-handed weapon. It always felt that the owner needs to compensate for something. PP
i remember that dragonwrath was bonker on fire mages thanks to their ignire and old combustion
You missed Atiesh, which I feel like should be #1 on this list!
Sulfuras is n10, and pandaria cloaks are n1.
This is all you needed to know about this list.
Ah yes, Scalecommander Sarkath
what about the hunter bow from sunwell plateu?
actualy in thunderfury used to have a class requirement, paladin warrior hunter rogue
YES ANOTHER ONE
I prefer the borrowed power scheme from BFA over legendaries, tier sets, etcetera !¡!
Borrowed power in 9.3 was the best WOW has *EVER* been for me personally !
The genshin animation for the bad lucl protection lmao
Top 3 is hand of rag, warglaives, and Thunderfury.
Nothing about acquiring Nasz’uro was fun
I've never owned a single class legendary while it was relevant.
Same, did pick up a lot of them several expansions later tho. Thunderfury, taragosa etc etc.
Tsk Tsk Tsk. Valanyr, Shadowmourne, Tarecgosa and now Fyralat. Of course the cloak and ring but i believe you meant weapons.
Is so cool when you get one of these when relevant and then you also get to use them while leveling in the next expansion. Is been a while since i leveled through MoP weilding Tarecgosa. But now i will be able to level several chars through TWW with Fyralat
Legendary items are all well and good but nothing compares to a Stoneskin Gargoyle Cape, although it has been so long I can no longer remember what it looks like…
justice for the WoD rings
Wait... I got Dragonwrath on my shaman. Did blizzard change the class requirement after Cata?
We are going to funnel dragonswrath to a shaman on firelands launch, because the mastery can proc off the effect and visversa procing like old school windfury and blasting stupid amounts of lava blasts
I've been trying to get the dreamrender since the raid released on my warrior. Use the greater embers and even with the awakening event I still run amidrassil. I think the items that are suppose to increase your chance is just copium items. Blizzard using them so players will keep playing even when they have ever other piece of gear available.
The woker legendary actually does buff yourself when you use your big cd and buffs others when not. It is not a pure support buff.
Cool video, but Dreamrender is not the second 2h legendary for strength users. Shadowmourne was
I miss the way we obtained legendaries in Cata and MoP… I hate in DF we have to rely on crafting by other people…
Its a pity that every new expansion made these legendary weapons obsolete.
You made a error in discribing how to get THunderfury, you also need to loot a itme from Ragnaros namely: "Essence of the Firelord
the look on my face when you said mop cloaks and not atiesh...
Evoker legendary while i still mained evoker was the first legendary i got when it was current content… now being an unholy dk going forward im trying to get the axe… eventually…
Good luck! If you are unlucky it will take you 14-15 heroic kill. Also from the week after onwards all raids will be awakened.
Warglaves are Nr.1 for sure
Don't forget the WoD legendary ring
A legendary shield would be cool
Yeah there is missing the legendary bow from the sun well and then there is the maze from ulduar you can craft after collecting 20 legendary ingots from bosses
Is that geneshini impact during #8 slot lol
i saw, in week 2, a sulfuras on classic wow... god damn people are crazy xd
That reminds me. On Cata releaze i ran myself through MC on my lvl 55 worgen warrior and got the eye of Sulfuras... Before reaching lvl 60 i had Sulfuras in my bag... I leveled through Outland with Sulfuras equiped... good times.
I crafted Sulfurus a few yesrs back and tgen they changed it to a 1 hand mace, made it really small and unworthy
