With Patch 7.2, there are World of Warcraft: Legion weapons again – and this is despite the fact that all players actually have an artifact weapon.
It sounds absurd at first, but Blizzard has reintroduced a specific type of item in Patch 7.2 that should actually have had no significance in Legion: weapons.
Basically, every player has an artifact weapon that evolves over the weeks and months and should be the pinnacle of the character. Therefore, it made no sense to leave weapons as rewards in Legion. This was compensated for by artifact relics, with which players could give their weapons a few new item levels.
With Patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras”, however, there are weapons again that can be obtained as Random Epics on the Broken Isles. Athrog’s Deathhamma is suitable for all classes that can wield a two-handed mace.
What use do weapons have in Legion?
The benefit for a max-level player is practically non-existent. However, it looks different for twinks. If you look closely, you’ll see that the Dodeshamma can already be equipped at level 101. Twinks between level 101 and 109 would thus have a weapon that is about 100 item levels stronger than the artifact weapon during the leveling phase! While one must forgo the properties of the artifact weapon, the increased damage more than compensates for this.
The hammer currently sells for prices up to 100,000 gold in the auction house, which is why many groups are already farming for “Random Epics” to make a decent pile of gold.
Like almost all items in Legion, the hammer can also be upgraded. Some lucky players have already obtained it at level 855, which significantly increases the price.
