Arcane Mage Opinion & Feedback

Kyrian - Eco Harmônico

Of the three new legendaries that have currently been datamined, one immediately stands out: the Kyrian power, Eco Harmônico, which makes 25% of the damage we deal to a target affected by Fagulha Radiante cleave onto four nearby enemies. Obviously, this isn't a single-target legendary, but it has huge potential in AoE and Mythic+ content, especially when combined with Forgelite Mikanikos' new trait, Acelerador de Ânima Efusivo, which deals AoE damage when we use Fagulha Radiante and reduces Spark's cooldown. It looks a little weaker than Harmonia Arcana for Kyrian Arcane Mages for now, but time and tuning could change that.

Necrolord - Gnose da Morte

Gnose da Morte is the new Necrolord legendary, which is semi-okay but suffers from the same problem as Anomalia Temporal: that is, it could proc at an inconvenient moment (i.e. you're about to move, you're low on mana, you have 0 stacks Carga Arcana) and the effect would be wasted. It also has an odd interaction with Emeni's Liderança pelo Exemplo: if Mortraz is already active, the proc will extend its duration by 8 seconds, but won't extend Liderança pelo Exemplo. However, if the legendary effect triggers without Mortraz being active, you (currently) gain 30 seconds of Liderança pelo Exemplo as if you had used Mortraz. This is probably unintended behaviour and will likely be fixed before 9.1 goes live. In the same vein, it's currently stacking the 1% damage increase for continually hitting the same target, which the wording would suggest is not the way it's intended to function.

Venthyr - Deleite Pecaminoso

The Venthyr legendary, Deleite Pecaminoso, is very unlikely to enable an extra use of Espelhos do Tormento between Poder Arcano windows, so on early impressions is practically worthless as we always want to align those two spells, and never want to delay Arcane Power.

None of the new legendaries - at current tuning levels - look like they'll change our existing Covenant choices.
Fire Mage Opinion & FeedbackIn patch 9.1 many new covenant-specific legendary items are being added to the game. The idea of tying covenant to legendaries isn’t something I’m particularly a fan of, but today we are going to go over scenarios where having one of the new legendaries would be valuable while comparing them against existing legendaries. So far we have information for Kyrian, Necrolord, and Venthyr.

Kyrian - Eco Harmônico

This legendary enables cleave for nearby targets during the Fagulha Radiante vulnerability, which lasts for 4 spells. Keep in mind that it only affects 4 targets for 25%. This means that your damage is effectively doubled for the four spells you cast after Fagulha Radiante so long as there are 4 targets. It's unlikely this legendary will get much use, especially since running it requires being Kyrian. Comando Disciplinar is what Fire Mages run in cleave and I don't see this legendary increasing overall damage by enough to beat it.

Necrolord - Gnose da Morte

This legendary has two parts: First there is a 1.25 rppm chance to grant the Mortraz buff for 8 seconds. Second, each hit from Bola de Fogo grants 1% spell damage with no cap. Because Mortraz causes Bola de Fogo to cleave this legendary has potential to be very overpowered in cleave, where it is possible to reach >100 stacks and pop cooldowns as you reach the very end of your Mortraz buff. Although this legendary requires going Necrolord, I believe if it goes live in its current state it might be well worth swapping. Definitely keep an eye on this one.

Venthyr - Deleite Pecaminoso

Understanding this legendary requires some quick math: if a Impacto de Fogo charge reduces Espelhos do Tormento cooldown by 3 seconds and on average you cast Impacto de Fogo about 10 times a minute this means we end up with Espelhos do Tormento coming in at around a one minute cooldown. Since this legendary only affects the cooldown of Espelhos do Tormento, its strength depends entirely on how strong gaining 30 seconds of cooldown reduction on Espelhos do Tormento really is. Although having cooldown reduction on Espelhos do Tormento feels really good, it is very unlikely to beat out Comando Disciplinar in any metric.

Frost Mage Opinion & Feedback In patch 9.1 many new covenant-specific legendary items are being added to the game. The idea of tying covenant to legendaries isn’t something I’m particularly a fan of, but today we are going to go over scenarios where having one of the new legendaries would be valuable while comparing them against existing legendaries. So far we have information for Kyrian, Necrolord, and Venthyr.

Kyrian - Eco Harmônico

This legendary enables cleave for nearby targets during the Fagulha Radiante vulnerability, which lasts for 4 spells. Keep in mind that it only affects 4 targets for 25%. This means that your damage is effectively doubled for the four spells you cast after Fagulha Radiante so long as there are 4 targets. It's unlikely this legendary will get much use since Frost Mage since Fragmentos Glaciais and Ventos Congelantes are both already so strong in cleave.

Necrolord - Gnose da Morte

This legendary has two parts: First there is a 1.25 rppm chance to grant the Mortraz buff for 8 seconds. Second, each hit from Seta de Gelo grants 1% spell damage with no cap. Because Mortraz causes Seta de Gelo to cleave this legendary has potential to be very overpowered in cleave, where it is possible to reach >100 stacks and pop cooldowns as you reach the very end of your Mortraz buff. As mentioned before, Frost has very strong cleave legendaries with Fragmentos Glaciais and Ventos Congelantes but this legendary allows you to set up and funnel huge amounts of damage into a primary target. This legendary very well might make Necrolord the go-to covenant if it goes live the way it is now.

Venthyr - Deleite Pecaminoso

Congelamento Cerebral reduces Espelhos do Tormento cooldown by 3 seconds but Espelhos do Tormento is a bit random aside from the three guaranteed procs. Since this legendary only affects the cooldown of Espelhos do Tormento, its strength depends entirely on how strong gaining cooldown reduction on Espelhos do Tormento really is. I believe this legendary has potential to beat out Gelo Liso in single target, but I doubt it will be competitive in cleave or AoE.
