Legendary Powers are targetable, unique effects that you can imbue certain base items with through the Runecarving system. In Shadowlands, these enable you to customize your Subtlety Rogue, drastically improving your performance, and are arguably the most important aspect of your gear.
The purpose of this page is to help you pick the right legendary powers (and item slots for them) for your character, depending on the content you are interested in.
Introduction: Legendaries in Shadowlands
Legendary Powers are special effects that you add onto items through Runecarving. The Legendary powers enhance your class gameplay in different ways and some of them are spec-specific while some are class-specific. On this page, we will go through the best ones for all types of content. Please refer to our Rogue Legendary Powers page and our Runecarving page for more information about these powers.
