I think there should be Empowered Legendaries that are level 85. kind of like the empowered blues. All the legendaries end up at end game.
Right now my warder is level 71. I am still using one of the level 50 legendary weapons. There is only 9 legendary two handers and really only 1-3 that even will work well with my class combo. Making all legendaries have an empowered item for level 85 would make them seem a little more worth it and open up more possible end game builds.
They should have level 85 items. not sure about empowered legendary, but there should be something to get at 85. makes no sense to stop at 75 if you keep going 10 levels.
so what you are saying that 10 level gap is so you can actually get every legendary?
So do you get to 85 and just stop farming for legendaries?
There really is 0 point for items to stop at 75. They have empower blues (better stats on lower level blues. Why not for legendaries for them to be for characters that are at level 85? Maybe its just me but it is weird to not have items that are on a level requirement for max level characters. Or just weird that some are level 50 and some are 58 and then 75? Those are weird gaps and jumps of levels of legendarys. Also only like 1 or 2 even work with a build. The one that is perfect for my warden build is a level 50. so i am not to upgrade my weapon at max level? Just keep using an outdated weapon.
I am not asking for new ones. Just the ones that they currently have to be able to drop as max level so people can get gear for what level they currently are. It will also open a lot of options for end game gearing. Right now my choices are Use a level 50 item at 85 or use a level 75 item that i only benifit from half of it.
Having empowered legendaries would make all the existing ones useless. All that farming again and when you do farm it would be really annoying getting a legendary that isn’t empowered. And would higher level legendaries mean higher attribute requirements ? Can you imagine some of the requirements for 85 level gear ? Some already go up to near 1k phys. Sure most builds just pump all into phys anyway but what about chars that need a mix, trying to reach higher gear requirements with the same stats could be really hard.
It wouldnt make those lower level ones worthless. They can still be used on lower level characters. Sure the requirements would be a bit higher. Maybe lower the current ones and then have slightly higher then they are now.
So its ok to have a level 50 legendary to drop for a character that is level 85?
Why do they have blue that are empowered while also having non empowered versions?
Maybe they could make each legendary have X set of levels. All of them at 50 / 65 / 85 instead of 3 at 50 then 3 different ones at 58 then 6 different ones at 75.
Maybe Change legendaries into leveling items like the devotions. Make all legendaries 50 but give them a leveling mechanic that increases their stats over time.
empowered can only drop from level 85+ mobs. after your character hits 85 only empowered legendaries can drop.
Right now as it stands legendaries are weird. To me. someone who has been playing ARPGS/MMO since D1 days. Sure there were some legendaries that only dropped as X level items but they had those throughout the game. Even in some cases level 1 legendary (able to help level characters faster).
AS it stands there are only 1 legendary for a build really. If they want to give people options they need to find a way to actually get gear that gives them options. Especially at max level. As it stands there is no point to farm once you hit level 85. Your character is done. More then likely you already have all the legendaries you need for your character. Why continue farming at level 85 as it stands right now?
Plot twist: For Legendaries, the level of the item doesn’t matter. Level 50 ones are great at level 85. The level only affects when you’ll start seeing it drop.
I see no need for Empowered Legendaries. If you can name a Legendary that sucks at 85, I’ll tell you a fairly-similarly-named Legendary that should be buffed, then.
I don’t see a need for them either. my main char uses many low level legendaries just fine. And as I said, if all legendaries got empowered versions then all existing ones would be useless. Honestly I would prefer more legendaries added rather than just empowering the existing ones
Given that the game really has no “end game”, there is little reason to continue playing a character once you reach the end of the game, which should not be much beyond reaching level 85. Sure you can farm a bit, but most characters will likely be retired shortly after hitting 85. It sure seems like a waste to have gear which you barely have to time to use before you retire. I prefer that the highest level gear is 75. If they raised the max items to 85, it’s most likely going to be the same gear that is level 75 now, only with a higher requirement.
