I feel like a neanderthal who just learned how to use a stick as weapon, and then look over at my neighbor who drives a sherman tank...

Quote:For the most part there are not any major changes in the legacies for each class. Champions are an exception to this as it was felt that there were too many Champion legacies with too specific an application. Their stance-based damage legacies have been replaced with individual skill damage bonuses and more general damage legacies. Other Glory- and Ardour-based legacies have been combined to affect both of these stances.
Byebye +Fervour damage as well Wink

Quote:Heritage runes found in Mines of Moria™ will have a maximum target item level of 60. You will be able to use these heritage runes on any legendary item of stat level 60 and below. Moria heritage runes *cannot* be used on stat level 61+ legendary items found in Siege of Mirkwood™.
Guess they didn't like people stacking loads of IXP runes in their chests...

Well, I guess I like the advancement scrolls... and you can now trash that 'legendary' songbook at identification when it doesn't come with the right legacies...

Right, bye bye to +10% extra damage in Fervour (which means 25% extra damage in total before crits or buffs. CHM's ruuule!). I wonder whether they'll remove that legacy from my 1st age, or just force me to get a new 1st age through the other changes. Probably the latter. And probably a 'nerf'.. Waah waah.

Well, it was either the champs taking a nerf or the hunters getting a buff at this point. I'd personally have rather seen the hunters getting a buff and mob health scaling to accomodate that, but Turbine sure do prefer their nerf bat!

- I'll keep my old legacies, as I suspected. But maybe there'll be newer, shinier lvl 65 weapons, so I'll indirectly be forced to swap anyway.

Ughugh this is just getting worse... it's like they're complicating the issue more. I really disliked the entire legendary weapon concept from the beginning. Blargh. There is no sad panda emoticon, why?
