Today, more details of that legendary weapon were revealed, with the biggest piece of knowledge surrounding it being that it will not be a class-specific weapon. WoW encounter designer Taylor Sanders confirmed to Dot Esports in a group interview that the new legendary will be a two-handed axe named Fyr'alath, the Dream Render, and it won\u2019t have any restrictions to one specific class like Dragonflight\u2019s first legendary weapon, Nasz'uro, the Unbound Legacy. Any character that can use two-handed Strength axes will be able to equip this legendary two-handed axe. That means Fyr'alath will be exclusive to Paladins, Death Knights, and Warriors. This legendary axe will be the first of its kind since Shadowmourne all the way back in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion in 2009. Since then, itemization has evolved immensely, but the upcoming legendary axe will be something players can progress and work toward, similarly to the way Nasz'uro had a bit of legwork attached to it too. \u201cWe\u2019ve heard a lot of great feedback from players around some of the frustrations about acquiring rare items and rare drops,\u201d Sanders said. \u201cThere\u2019s always a balance with the excitement of gaining that kind of weapon after some hard work \u2026 we\u2019re working to make sure those items are still exciting when they drop, but that they feel earned and they\u2019re something that you can progress towards.\u201d Even beyond legendary items\u2014which are nowhere near as prominent as they were during Shadowlands\u2014WoW\u2019s \u201cVery Rare\u201d items have made gearing far more favorable for certain specs above others. Items like Neltharax in season one or Djaruun in season two have made specific specs and classes stronger through itemization instead of raw power or class balance.\u00a0 In Patch 10.2, a legendary weapon that\u2019s available to multiple classes, including Paladins, Death Knights, and Warriors, should place less pressure on players to feel like their class is being outranked by another option with access to better loot.\u00a0 Related How to start and complete Dreamsurge events in WoW Dragonflight For players who were expecting the Emerald Dream-focused patch to have a Druid legendary as its grand prize, don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not alone\u2014we would\u2019ve predicted the same thing. But Sanders assured us the axe is \u201ctied very closely to the story and character of Fyrakk,\u201d and that \u201cplayers who will finally earn it will be very happy with its importance for the patch and the story that\u2019s being told in Guardians of the Dream.\u201d Patch 10.2 will launch later this year, and the legendary two-handed axe will almost definitely be a raid drop off Fyrakk, the final boss of the upcoming raid, Amirdrassil. Update Sept. 8 10:14am CT: This article has been updated to include specific details regarding which classes will be able to use the legendary two-handed axe.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Time-Rift-events-in-WoW-Dragonflight.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956835"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=956835"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":958749,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/956835\/revisions\/958749"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/906995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=956835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=956835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=956835"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=956835"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=956835"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=956835"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=956835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
