Mage Covenant Specific Legendaries in Patch 9.1

Kyrian: 조화로운 메아리 - Damage dealt to enemies affected by 빛나는 불꽃's vulnerability echo to 4 nearby enemies for 25% of the damage dealt.
Necrolord: 죽음의 깊이 - Your 화염구, 얼음 화살, and 비전 작렬 have a chance to grant 죽음의 혈통for 8 sec. While in the form of a skeletal mage the spell damage granted is increased by 1% for each enemy hit by 화염구, 얼음 화살, and 비전 작렬.
Venthyr: 죄악의 환희 - Consuming 두뇌 빙결, a 화염 작렬 charge, 번뜩임 reduces 고문의 거울 cooldown by 3 sec. If 고문의 거울 is dispelled the cooldown is reduced by 45 sec.

Arcane Mage Opinion & Feedback

Kyrian - 조화로운 메아리

Of the three new legendaries that have currently been datamined, one immediately stands out: the Kyrian power, 조화로운 메아리, which makes 25% of the damage we deal to a target affected by 빛나는 불꽃 cleave onto four nearby enemies. Obviously, this isn't a single-target legendary, but it has huge potential in AoE and Mythic+ content, especially when combined with Forgelite Mikanikos' new trait, 분출성 령 가속기, which deals AoE damage when we use 빛나는 불꽃 and reduces Spark's cooldown. It looks a little weaker than 비전의 조화 for Kyrian Arcane Mages for now, but time and tuning could change that.

Necrolord - 죽음의 깊이

죽음의 깊이 is the new Necrolord legendary, which is semi-okay but suffers from the same problem as 시간 이상: that is, it could proc at an inconvenient moment (i.e. you're about to move, you're low on mana, you have 0 stacks 비전 충전물) and the effect would be wasted. It also has an odd interaction with Emeni's 타인의 귀감: if 죽음의 혈통 is already active, the proc will extend its duration by 8 seconds, but won't extend 타인의 귀감. However, if the legendary effect triggers without 죽음의 혈통 being active, you (currently) gain 30 seconds of 타인의 귀감 as if you had used 죽음의 혈통. This is probably unintended behaviour and will likely be fixed before 9.1 goes live. In the same vein, it's currently stacking the 1% damage increase for continually hitting the same target, which the wording would suggest is not the way it's intended to function.

Venthyr - 죄악의 환희

The Venthyr legendary, 죄악의 환희, is very unlikely to enable an extra use of 고문의 거울 between 신비의 마법 강화 windows, so on early impressions is practically worthless as we always want to align those two spells, and never want to delay Arcane Power.

None of the new legendaries - at current tuning levels - look like they'll change our existing Covenant choices.
Fire Mage Opinion & FeedbackIn patch 9.1 many new covenant-specific legendary items are being added to the game. The idea of tying covenant to legendaries isn’t something I’m particularly a fan of, but today we are going to go over scenarios where having one of the new legendaries would be valuable while comparing them against existing legendaries. So far we have information for Kyrian, Necrolord, and Venthyr.

Kyrian - 조화로운 메아리

This legendary enables cleave for nearby targets during the 빛나는 불꽃 vulnerability, which lasts for 4 spells. Keep in mind that it only affects 4 targets for 25%. This means that your damage is effectively doubled for the four spells you cast after 빛나는 불꽃 so long as there are 4 targets. It's unlikely this legendary will get much use, especially since running it requires being Kyrian. 지도편달 is what Fire Mages run in cleave and I don't see this legendary increasing overall damage by enough to beat it.

Necrolord - 죽음의 깊이

This legendary has two parts: First there is a 1.25 rppm chance to grant the 죽음의 혈통 buff for 8 seconds. Second, each hit from 화염구 grants 1% spell damage with no cap. Because 죽음의 혈통 causes 화염구 to cleave this legendary has potential to be very overpowered in cleave, where it is possible to reach >100 stacks and pop cooldowns as you reach the very end of your 죽음의 혈통 buff. Although this legendary requires going Necrolord, I believe if it goes live in its current state it might be well worth swapping. Definitely keep an eye on this one.

Venthyr - 죄악의 환희

Understanding this legendary requires some quick math: if a 화염 작렬 charge reduces 고문의 거울 cooldown by 3 seconds and on average you cast 화염 작렬 about 10 times a minute this means we end up with 고문의 거울 coming in at around a one minute cooldown. Since this legendary only affects the cooldown of 고문의 거울, its strength depends entirely on how strong gaining 30 seconds of cooldown reduction on 고문의 거울 really is. Although having cooldown reduction on 고문의 거울 feels really good, it is very unlikely to beat out 지도편달 in any metric.

Frost Mage Opinion & Feedback In patch 9.1 many new covenant-specific legendary items are being added to the game. The idea of tying covenant to legendaries isn’t something I’m particularly a fan of, but today we are going to go over scenarios where having one of the new legendaries would be valuable while comparing them against existing legendaries. So far we have information for Kyrian, Necrolord, and Venthyr.

Kyrian - 조화로운 메아리

This legendary enables cleave for nearby targets during the 빛나는 불꽃 vulnerability, which lasts for 4 spells. Keep in mind that it only affects 4 targets for 25%. This means that your damage is effectively doubled for the four spells you cast after 빛나는 불꽃 so long as there are 4 targets. It's unlikely this legendary will get much use since Frost Mage since 빙하의 조각 and 얼어붙는 바람 are both already so strong in cleave.

Necrolord - 죽음의 깊이

This legendary has two parts: First there is a 1.25 rppm chance to grant the 죽음의 혈통 buff for 8 seconds. Second, each hit from 얼음 화살 grants 1% spell damage with no cap. Because 죽음의 혈통 causes 얼음 화살 to cleave this legendary has potential to be very overpowered in cleave, where it is possible to reach >100 stacks and pop cooldowns as you reach the very end of your 죽음의 혈통 buff. As mentioned before, Frost has very strong cleave legendaries with 빙하의 조각 and 얼어붙는 바람 but this legendary allows you to set up and funnel huge amounts of damage into a primary target. This legendary very well might make Necrolord the go-to covenant if it goes live the way it is now.

Venthyr - 죄악의 환희

두뇌 빙결 reduces 고문의 거울 cooldown by 3 seconds but 고문의 거울 is a bit random aside from the three guaranteed procs. Since this legendary only affects the cooldown of 고문의 거울, its strength depends entirely on how strong gaining cooldown reduction on 고문의 거울 really is. I believe this legendary has potential to beat out 미끄러운 얼음 in single target, but I doubt it will be competitive in cleave or AoE.
