I thought the goal was to NOT have everyone running around with the same gear -- this was the argument made by blue posters whenever people complained that their legendary gear sucked.
So how is that going to be avoided if Legendary items will be the best in the game?
I think the main problem with Legendaries was just the name, in that it set an expectation, because somehow arbitrarily "Legendary" seems like it should be better than "Rare". I think Blizzard caved on this one.
Im sorry but the item buisness just doesnt make any sense, rares should be the best items in the game, PERIOD! Legendaries should be the good enough gear, and set items have always been crap!
Blues /= Rares.
Rares will still come out to be better than Legendaries at some point (just have to find them).
Blues shouldn't be better than top end Legendaries in my opinion.
I've found thousands of rares, and not a single legendary in game so far. Most of the friends i have that are playing the game have also not found a single legendary. One friend has found 2 i think, but thats it. For how rare they are, they really do deserve to be better than blues, and close to most rares. I also agree that the best rares should be better than legendaries. Judging from the vast number of legendaries on the auction house though, they obviously drop frequently enough, if not just plain too often already. Perhaps there is even some duping going on already too, who knows.
Yea I have found 3 legendaries recently, too bad they were all weapons and the dps was just garbage. It is pretty disappointing to get them to drop and then have them suck. I think the armor/rings/ammy ones are fine but the weapon ones definitely need a buff.
Rares > Legendaries > Magic Items. thats how its going to be, thats how it should be. Legendaries shouldnt be items that are hard as shit to find, and then you never use them because they are so crappy. hell right now im using a magic bow with 1005 dps. even a perfectly rolled windforce (best legendary bow in game) almost cant match up. Rares can spawn with any combination of affixes so they will always be better, but legendaries should be viable

I hope set items will become useful at some point too.

They never said that. They said better than BLUES!
