Comment by LichdemonzThe Kyrian Shaman leggo is just showing the vesper totem tooltip. x.xComment by YveltusThat text is just the text from Vesper Totem itself, it's not a legendary.Comment by WarsavCan any Venth hunters say if that is good? How often do you get to cast Kill Shot from Flayed Shot Proc? Seems like its not that much dmg vs NF or Necro LegosComment by IronymanHELLO? I clicked this instantly to check the shaman legendary, and you have just written down the normal covenant ability description! REEEEEEEEEEEEE I need to know if they are even trying to make Kyrian playable or not!

Edit: Alright. Now they updated it with the actual legendary description. And it's literal garbage. No, it's worse than that. The original ability is unusable in PvP and you don't actually want to click the button in PvE content either, and now they doubled down on the worthlessness.
They are not even using A brain at this point, let alone multiple. Depressing.Comment by cranchmustok, change again info for legendary shaman :DComment by AeroziaWhat a ripoff, flayed shot doesn't procc enough for this to be worth it. You get an average 1 procc ever other flayed shot useComment by MulcWhat a jokeComment by QaneshaCan any Venth hunters say if that is good?

They need serious buffs to be even considered. And the baseline legendaries there is for elemental, have far better secondary choices than any of the covenant junk legendaries.Comment by CrusadyrIf this is the Venthyr Hunter legendary they are going for it may need some damage tuning. For Marks it just does not proc kill shots that much.
Perhaps Marks and BM could have Flayed shot be effected by trick shots. So we can spread the debuff to up to 5 targets instead of 1. So at least we get more procs of it.
Would love to go Venthyr Marks but my guild would never accept it into a Mythic raid as it is right now.Comment by YvaelleFlayed Shot just needs to be redesigned to be something more consistent. Shooting your target to apply a debuff that might grant you a Kill Shot is a lot of work for maybe nothing.

Why not just give Venthyr Hunters an improved Killshot, like how Venthyr Warriors get an improved Execute (Condemn)? That would be a reliable boon that plays to the Venthyr Flavor.

Then you can make the legendary something like "Bloodshot applies a bleed to 6 targets within 8 yards" - same idea as this one, without the partial uptime of Flayed Shot, multiplied by its low proc chance, multiplied by the rarity of 6 targets being near, multiplied by the 35% scaling, multiplied by the targets being alive for the duration of the bleed: for a current final output of probably ~negligible DPS outside of the perfect niche pull.Comment by ErroonIn 8 applications of Flayed Shot I get between 11-13 free kill shots (3 a minute on average). My kill shots at 213ilvl (full pvp gear) normal hit for 4.2k. In my current gear, the Venthyr legendary for BM would give me an average of about 250-350dps through the course of a dungeon (assuming an average of 3-4 targets hit by the bleed). For this to be particularly viable for M+, the cleave damage % needs to be higher, and Kill Shot needs a 30% increased proc rate from where it's at.Comment by Diablos171Can any Venth hunters say if that is good? How often do you get to cast Kill Shot from Flayed Shot Proc? Seems like its not that much dmg vs NF or Necro LegosComment by MightylorddkVenthyr legendary is something should have been a core mechanics. Venthyrs are the only one with single target spell, all other 3 covenants have 3 (Not to mention Night Fae's massive) aoeComment by sotabaJust buff flayed shot and this leg or noone will switch to venthyr, it's simple. Same with necro. Would be really sad to put so much work into it for nothing.

Don't wanna be forced to play nightfae whole expansion only because wild spirits is so much better than anything else for hunters.Comment by DhrallCan any Venth hunters say if that is good?
