Nothing works without legendary items in World of Warcraft. Will Patch 7.2 allow players to wear more than just two of them?
If you want to be somewhat successful in PvE content in World of Warcraft, you need legendary items. These items have a higher item level than anything else players can acquire and often come with powerful, passive effects. Sometimes the playstyle of a class is slightly altered by some spells becoming more significant that would otherwise remain unused. Currently, every hero in World of Warcraft can only wear two legendary items when the Order Hall is fully upgraded.
Players wanted to know if the “Legendary Cap” will be increased with Patch 7.2, allowing them to wear three or even four of the orange items.
The Legendary Cap remains unchanged in Patch 7.2
Blizzard has responded via Twitter. The cap will not be increased in Patch 7.2. Even with the introduction of new legendary items, the limit remains. For the future, they indicate that an increase “could be possible, but so far nothing has been decided.”
There are likely many reasons for this decision. The most sensible seems to be that loot should remain exciting for players. In Legion, the artifact weapon already takes up 2 slots in the character window (main hand and off-hand), which can never be improved by loot. Most heroes also wear 2 legendary items, which are always the best that can be obtained in their respective equipment slots. If Blizzard were to increase the cap for legendary items, more and more loot would lose its significance.
