Upcoming Covenant Legendary Tuning Announced By Blizzard


As part of Patch 9.1 Chains of Domination, new covenant-specific legendaries were introduced as part of Renown rewards and would focus on improving a player's class covenant ability.

Many were looking to be powerful additions to the legendary roster, changing up the meta quite a bit, and some others were underwhelming.

Blizzard announced today that they will be tuning some of these legendary powers, primarily making them stronger with a few nerfs.

Player's are able to access these new legendary powers once they reach level 48 renown, which is available during Mythic week beginning on the 13th of July.

These changes will be tested on the PTR "soon" and there is no date when they will go live on the main servers, despite them being craftable next week.
