Earlier this month, Double Legendary testing started on the PTR with the addition of the
团结的回忆
pattern, allowing players to wear both a normal legendary and your covenant-specific legendary at the same time. Our Shaman Guide Writers have theorycrafted a first look at the Double Legendary combinations you're likely to equip in both
初诞者圣墓
and Mythic+ in Patch 9.2 - Eternity's End.
The timeline and acquisition of Double Legendaries has changed on the 9.2 Eternity's End PTR. Check out our post below to learn how and when you'll be able equip two legendaries.

HawkCorrigan
, our Elemental Shaman guide writer, has given their extensive thoughts on the Double Legendary combinations for Elemental Shamans in Patch 9.2!
With Blizzard enabling players to utilize two legendary items in 9.2, we are going to take a look into the different new combinations that will become available and how this will change the landscape of viable setups for Elemental Shaman.
With the newest PTR cycle, the obvious bugs with our T28 tier set have been fixed and it seems reasonable to assume that the current state will be how it will go live. This means that overloads on
熔岩爆裂
will proc
火焰之心
.
Best Elemental Shaman Double Legendaries for Sepulcher of the First Ones
Looking at the numbers for the four covenants and their respective legendaries in 9.1, only one of the covenant legendaries sticks out. Currently Night Fae with
狂乱生长之种
is beating out the legendaries for the other covenants with quite a huge lead.
Our Tier Set puts a stronger emphasis on
熔岩爆裂
and our elementals, which synergizes extremely well with the Night Fae legendary on paper. On the other hand,
火焰之心
already guarantees 100% uptime on the elementals.
Critical Strike is also becoming our worst stat for single target, because of the lack of scaling with
熔岩爆裂
, which always crits regardless of the stat.
The buff to
极乐挽歌
is significant enough to make Kyrian a strong contender for pure single target, but does nothing to alleviate it's shortcomings in AoE. Even though this buff is pretty good for Elemental, increasing diversity of viable covenants, it is unlikely to stay looking at it's strength for Restoration. If the Kyrian Conduits stay unchanged, both covenants will be highly viable.
Single Target
Night Fae:
狂乱生长之种
&
风语者的熔岩崛起
Kyrian:
狂暴暮钟旋涡
&
风语者的熔岩崛起
For Single Target, we will go with the current king of Single Target damage,
风语者的熔岩崛起
, in the second slot. The buff to
熔岩爆裂
provided by
火焰之心
will scale directly with the damage this legendary provides and in preliminary sims, this combination comes out as the front runner, even without specifically paying attention to the periodic
熔岩奔腾
procs that the tier set generates.
With current numbers, Kyrian and Night Fae are both very close to each other, with Kyrian offering higher off-healing and utility, but relying more on boss positioning.
The Runner Up
Night Fae:
狂乱生长之种
&
根深蒂固的元素
Kyrian:
狂暴暮钟旋涡
&
根深蒂固的元素
This is the underdog combination rising from the bottom of the damage charts. The primary niche of this combination is Spread Cleave and it also works well for pure Single Target. With every new interaction added by 9.2 increasing the value of
熔岩爆裂
, it seems to be enough to finally make
根深蒂固的元素
at least viable, if not a competitor for the top spot.
While simulations are currently listing it roughly equivalent to
风语者的熔岩崛起
, the lack of mobility with this legendary will still hinder it a lot.
升腾
basically roots you for the duration and the procs cannot be planned around. This means that when you are using
熔岩奔腾
as a movement global, you will have a high chance of wasting the procs.
The big advantage of this legendary is its scaling with cleave in general and spread cleave specifically because you do not rely on
地震术
while using it and you can do damage independent of add positioning.
I don't expect it to beat out
风语者的熔岩崛起
but let's keep an eye on it.
AoE
Night Fae:
狂乱生长之种
&
大分裂的回响
大分裂的回响
is still the best choice AoE and now it can join forces with the second strongest choice
狂乱生长之种
. While
大分裂的回响
loses some ground in Single Target scenarios in comparison to
风语者的熔岩崛起
, because of the higher focus on
熔岩爆裂
caused by
火焰之心
, it is still the best legendary whenever additional targets are added that are stacked.
地震术
scales exceptionally well with the Critical Strike granted by
狂乱生长之种
as long as uptime can be guaranteed.
Best Elemental Shaman Double Legendaries for Mythic+
Night Fae:
狂乱生长之种
&
大分裂的回响
The choice for any content that includes AoE is pretty straight forward and doesn't have much subtlety around it.
火焰之心
and
狂乱生长之种
will lock us into
风暴元素
for Mythic+, removing any kind of build variability and turning us into an AoE machine.
With the tier set, we get enough Cooldown Reduction and extensions on our Elementals that
碎天者的炽烈灭亡
becomes basically useless, especially with us not having a way to reliable and quickly spread
烈焰震击
and playing around it, costing time that could be spent casting
闪电链
and
地震术
.
Honorable Mentions: Necrolords and Venthyr
The buff to the Necrolord legendary is not enough to make it catch up with Kyrian and Night Fae but the gap is small enough that it is viable and up to personal preference.
始源之潮
still works well for Spread Cleave, which means that for fights like the Prototype Pantheon, Necrolord and
根深蒂固的元素
are definitely good options. Venthyr builds for Elemental are still dead on arrival. We can't utilize the generated
烈焰震击
s in any realistic scenario, Venthyr doesn't offer any specific utility that we need and doesn't have the damage it would need, even with the slight buffs to
收割链
.
PvP
Necrolord:
碎裂元素
&
碎天者的炽烈灭亡
The Necrolord covenant will stay the prime choice for everyone playing PvP. With
狂乱生长之种
depending completely on
法夜输灵
, a channeled Nature spell, the cost of getting interrupted is too high to justify picking it.
2-3 available targets in Arena PvP guarantee constantly high value for
碎裂元素
and the gained Haste provides more
熔岩奔腾
procs which in turn leads to more instant casts, which Elemental relies upon in PvP.
Wordup
, our Enhancement Shaman guide writer, has given their extensive thoughts on the Double Legendary combinations for Enhancement Shamans in Patch 9.2!
Wordup
9.2 Double Legendaries is a pretty broad topic with Enhancement thanks to it also seeing a semi-rework.
We have an article here that covers all of the changes
, potential builds and the impact double legendaries have in a more broad sense, but these are just some potentially interesting choices.
Best Enhancement Shaman Double Legendaries for Sepulcher of the First Ones and Single Target
Enhancement has two options right now depending on what fight type prevails, so this is a pure Single-target option, and a more niche but potentially useful Funnel option, which are often the types of thing that sees the most benefit in raids. We'll see how it plays out.
Night Fae :
狂乱生长之种
&
巫医的狼骨
This provides an additional surge of
野性狼魂
casts, and a big Crit window following each
法夜输灵
that adds a much needed layer of burst that the spec otherwise doesn't have access to. Pair this with the
2/4-piece bonuses
coming that are also both centered around
野性狼魂
, and it creats a potent combination that works in both sustained and burst single-target. Unfortunately because
法夜输灵
meteors, and the bonus is heavily weighted toward single-target as well, that means it's not exactly flexible but it directly improves something that we're already pretty good at.
Necrolord:
碎裂元素
&
始源熔岩助动器
While this may be less likely to see broad use, it has got a lot of potential for allowing us to leverage additional targets active for more single-target priority damage on a boss/important enemy. Those makes use of the newly added
烈焰震击
spread from
熔岩猛击
and the burst of Haste from
碎裂元素
to create high burst windows and extremely low cooldown
熔岩猛击
hits in lieu of making use of the more
风暴打击
heavy spam from the set bonus.
Much like the
Venthyr
legendary below however this is very reliant on having multiple
烈焰震击
targets to get a punchy Haste buff out of it. When that happens it becomes a relatively strong option but on one target is extremely diminished, so this is mostly a case of finding the best case scenario for the effect.
Best Enhancement Shaman Double Legendaries for Mythic+ and AoE
Venthyr:
元素导能
&
毁灭之风
Venthyr's buffs to the Covenant specific Legendary is really impactful for any situation where you can consistently maintain
烈焰震击
s on multiple targets, drastically reducing the cooldown of an already very powerful burst AoE tool in
收割链
. Pair this with additional group support from the healing it and the
激流
s it applies does, and it creates a great combo for very little sacrifice despite losing some of the stronger Soulbinds other Covenants provide.
This won't necessarily provide the best overall package as it's trying to cover as many bases well as possible, rather than excelling at one. However, the heavy lifting is being done by
Venthyr's
Legendary itself rather than the pairing - which opens up flexibility for different options depending on the Key or Affixes.
毁灭之风
is just selected as an uncapped burst AoE option which is currently favourable, but there is just as much room to see
始源熔岩助动器
(for light Funnel),
巫医的狼骨
(for priority damage) or
碎天者的炽烈灭亡
for sustained AoE and group support.
Mythic+ is currently the bracket of content that's most wide open for Enhancement following the changes, because there's a lot of different tools to capitalize on (an alternative AoE
Necrolord
build or a more priority oriented
Night Fae
setup as examples) so it's going to depend strongly on how the Affix is navigated and what your group needs you be doing in each composition.
Niseko
, our Restoration Shaman guide writer, has given their extensive thoughts on the Double Legendary combinations for Restoration Shamans in Patch 9.2!
Niseko
As is not uncommon for Restoration Shamans, there is not much of interest happening when it comes to combining different legendary effects, as they all either do not interact or only interact in an insignificant way.
To give an example, Necrolords
碎裂元素
technically synergizes with
始源之潮核心
due to
激流
s haste scaling, but that isn't something particularly strong and it wouldn't make you pick Necrolord just to get that combination going.
For another example, you could reasonably expect
元素导能
to work with
根深蒂固的元素
to give you a chance for
升腾
on every
收割链
cast - it does not interact at all however and
收割链
alone will never lead to a proc (not that I would have recommended this combination even if it did).
Best Restoration Shaman Double Legendaries for Sepulcher of the First Ones
Due to a lack of missing impactful synergies, your regular legendary choice will stay the same:
始源之潮核心
with niche swaps for other legendaries. What the double legendary system has done however, is that the covenant legendary now plays a part in the covenant balance since you will be using that by default.
Necrolord:
碎裂元素
&
始源之潮核心
Nothing too much exciting here, this combination mainly receives a haste buff every now and then which is an okay healing boost. The covenant is a strong healing throughput option still and keeps the strong advantage where it doesn't care about people being spread.
Kyrian:
狂暴暮钟旋涡
&
始源之潮核心
This is
the
covenant to look out for when a fight requires extra damage throughput.
狂暴暮钟旋涡
provides a lot of damage with little investment while staying fully relevant healing wise - this can fall apart on fights where everyone is very spread out.
Venthyr:
元素导能
&
始源之潮核心
Decent in everything and easy to pick up and play.
元素导能
received buffs in which
烈焰震击
critical hits reduce the cooldown of
收割链
. That interaction can actually be a ton of cooldown reduction - as long as there are enough enemies to hit. I can see it potentially being effective on a fight like Prototype Pantheon.
Night Fae:
狂乱生长之种
&
始源之潮核心
狂乱生长之种
can be very useful during progression by reducing your
治疗之潮图腾
to fit the damage patterns better, or on hectic fights just to have more healing cooldowns available throughout the fight.
Best Restoration Shaman Double Legendaries for Sepulcher of the First Ones
Kyrian:
狂暴暮钟旋涡
&
元素均衡
|
深震之石
Double DPS legendaries have a lot of potential in Mythic+.
狂暴暮钟旋涡
and
深震之石
were strong raw DPS legendaries on its own, but you had to choose one of them while now you are able to equip both. There isn't exactly a synergy or interaction here, but it is a very high damage potential as they're each so strong on their own.
元素均衡
with
狂暴暮钟旋涡
is slightly more interesting.
The idea here is to use a frost (
冰霜震击
), fire (
烈焰震击
,
熔岩爆裂
) and nature (
闪电箭
,
闪电链
) spell in a way that the
元素均衡
will be up for the
暮钟图腾
duration, especially during the
狂暴暮钟旋涡
effect. Since
冰霜震击
is never used during normal gameplay, you have a lot of control over when the
元素均衡
buff will be active.
In a way this removes some of the drawbacks that a
深震之石
would have, as you don't have to keep an
土元素
alive which might just grab all the aggro. Still, managing
元素均衡
is definitely more busy and finnicky than using
深震之石
which will often be fine on its own.
