The Escapist just posted a huge interview with Blizzard, explaining 4.3's bigger assets. It's worth reading--as it explains features we've head a lot about before, but the most interesting aspect was the discussion and confirmation of the legendary. It will be for rogues and it will be a dagger.
Other tidbits:
The LFR tool will be an easier difficulty, used just for the tool.
The Dragonflight are going to be uniting together to fight Deathwing.
The 5-mans will be more involved with the story than the WotLK 5-mans were.
Players will get unique achievements in the LFR--in other words, you can't form achievement groups in LFR.
J. Allen Brack, Lead Producer of World of Warcraft: There's one more piece which is an announcement that we're releasing a rogue legendary weapon. Specific for rogues, so it will be a dagger. There will be some sort of quest, traditionally we've done these quests that players need to participate in order to create the legendary weapon in this case we'll be focusing on rogues that will try to make that happen.
The Escapist: Do you know what it's called yet?
Brack: We do not?
The Escapist: How does it fit into the lore?
Brack: We haven't decided on the name and how it's going to work, we just know that we really want a legendary weapon to come out of this tier and we really want it to be a rogue dagger. That's really all we know at this point. As time goes on we get a lot more lore, a lot more story, an "in" to the creation of all the legendary weapons. We really did a lot with the legendary axe that you got out of Lich King and then we've had other legendaries with the Cataclysm tiers that have.

After a lot of discussion and speculation, most people had thought it would be a multiple class legendary--perhaps something good for rogues, enhancement shamans, or even tanks. However, this dispels any speculation and brings back the glaives. |
