With the latest round of PTR updates, all of the new Hunter legendaries have been uncovered, with the three previous ones seeing some tuning or changes from previous iterations. To describe all of the covenant Hunter legendaries succinctly, it only takes one word: underwhelming.
Осколки древних рогов
(Night Fae)
The new Night Fae Hunter legendary power is , which will give your
Дикие духи
a 35% chance to hit twice when used on less than 5 targets. Even before when it was a 200% chance, this was only potentially going to be good on 1-2 targets. At a 35% chance to proc twice, this is quite weak on 1-2 targets, and unfortunately will not see any use. Even at exactly 4 targets, the ideal number for this legendary, it is still probably worse than some of our other current legendary options. Even that is an unrealistic scenario though, since exactly 4 targets is such an unusually specific number that you would never get to use it in any practical scenario.
Пакт ловцов душ
(Kyrian)
Whenever you use
Резонирующая стрела
, you give everyone in your party 10% crit for the duration, up from 5% in the last build. This is actually the most interesting of the new legendaries, as this has the most potential to be used inside the new raid. While this is not going to be the best legendary ever for your own personal DPS, it does have the ability to raise your group's overall output substantially. If you coordinate this well and play with the right group, it could be quite strong, but more sims and testing are needed before we can determine just how valuable this may be in an optimized group. It is worth noting though, that for the majority of players this will never be the correct legendary because it is going to require exceptional coordination and planning to get the full use out of it.
Сумка с боеприпасами
(Necrolord)
This legendary already exists in the game in the form of an anima power that Necrolord Hunters can pick up in Torghast. However, since the last built this legendary was nerfed from
Разрывной выстрел
hitting all 7 targets to now only hitting 2. Seven targets was a bit absurd, but 2 targets is a large enough nerf that this legendary will be situational. It is much weaker than before, and will only be decent on high numbers of stacked targets, such as in M+ where large AoE pulls are more common. While more testing is needed, it will probably not be better than the other existing Hunter legendaries that BM already uses in most cases.
The bigger issue with this legendary however is the Covenant. Necrolord is still quite weak for Hunters, and this legendary would need to be exceptionally strong to pull you away from Night Fae. As it stands, this legendary is just not powerful enough to do that with how weak
Шакрам смерти
is on its own.
Мешочек с осколками бритвы
(Venthyr)
Мешочек с осколками бритвы
is the new Venthyr Hunter legendary, which causes the bonus
Убийственный выстрел
s from
Выстрел свежевателя
to also hit 6 targets within 8 yards, causing them to bleed for some of the damage over 6 seconds. Unfortunately, this legendary just completely fails to hit the mark on what would make you want to play Venthyr.
Выстрел свежевателя
is the Venthyr Covenant ability for Hunters, which is a pure single target ability. As it is a purely single target ability, you would expect it to be the most competitive on single target. However, because of poor tuning, it is unfortunately not the best on single target, and is instead worse than Night Fae's
Дикие духи
. This creates an imbalance in Covenant choice that this legendary does nothing to address.
Дикие духи
is an AoE ability that outperforms Flayed Shot on single target, and obviously outperforms Flayed Shot substantially in cleave or AoE scenarios. This legendary adds a mediocre AoE component onto
Выстрел свежевателя
that is far worse than what
Дикие духи
offers just from the normal ability. Even just comparing this to other Hunter legendaries, it is still quite mediocre and would not be worth using.
Overall the Covenant legendaries for Hunters are quite lacking. Hopefully some more iteration and tuning happens before 9.1, but these legendaries are unlikely to see any substantial use in the new patch as they stand now.

This past week the Hunter Covenant Legendaries were officially revealed and we were able to test them on the PTR as of a couple of days ago. Below I'll talk in-depth about the newest addition for the Venthyr covenant as well as provide some updates to the others now that the numbers are set.
Мешочек с осколками бритвы
(Venthyr)
As most people expected, the Venthyr covenant legendary gives
Выстрел свежевателя
some much-needed AoE to it's toolkit. Every proc that Flayed Shot generates now applies a DoT on up to 6 targets. This DoT directly scales with the amount of damage done by your
Убийственный выстрел
. Things such as damage amps, Critical Strikes, or the damage bonus gained from
Усиленный выстрел
all increase the damage of the DoT. Unfortunately, the AoE is somewhat underwhelming and it isn't nearly enough to warrant the swap to Venthyr. However, if you happen to be one of the few Venthyr hunters out there,
Мешочек с осколками бритвы
will most likely be your new go-to AoE legendary as it gives the most potential AoE out of the other legendary options. Of course,
Хитрость ловца змей
remains strong in single target and cleave situations.
I don’t foresee this legendary being enough to warrant the swap but, Venthyr isn't out of the race just yet. As we've seen, Venthyr is already strong for PvP (currently BiS for BM Hunters in PvP) and it is one of the better covenants in terms of scaling. Perhaps in future tiers, Venthyr might be an option as it's already starting to creep up on Kyrian and Night Fae. Now that we have
Мешочек с осколками бритвы
, we have a tool for AoE, which has been a major fault of
Выстрел свежевателя
since it was introduced.
Осколки древних рогов
(Night Fae)
We now have some final numbers for
Осколки древних рогов
. There was hope for this legendary as depending on the percent value, it could've been relevant in single target and mid-range AoE for us. Sadly, a 35% proc chance is rather low and at its current value, there's no chance we will ever use this legendary as Marksmanship.
A small tidbit though, when wearing this legendary, each proc of
Дикие духи
has a 35% chance to replicate. This means that those cheeky double hits that both Marksmanship and Beast Mastery have in their toolkits have additional chances to proc the legendary. While it's pretty minor for Marksmanship, this is pretty good news for Beast Mastery Hunters as each
Топот
has 2 chances to proc a double hit due to Stomp's interaction with
Дикие духи
(it’s still not amazing though).
Пакт ловцов душ
(Kyrian)
I mentioned this might be the case in my previous article, but the official value on
Пакт ловцов душ
is 10%. Of course, this is better than the previous tooltip value of 5%, but it still most likely won't be enough to warrant using it. As I said previously, we'll have to determine whether or not the net gain of the legendary outweighs us losing out on our standard legendary (typically
Хитрость ловца змей
or
Буйные стрелы
). We'll have a better idea of how valuable
Пакт ловцов душ
is for others once sims are able to model it properly.
Сумка с боеприпасами
(Necrolord)
Finally,
Сумка с боеприпасами
was heavily nerfed from last week. But, let's be real. 5x
Разрывной выстрел
s was too good to be true. It now sends a maximum of 2 Explosive Shots, assuming it hits two or more targets. While I never expected 5 to go live, 2 seems pretty underwhelming. It still gives Necrolord a bit of much-needed AoE, but with the current tuning, it's definitely not enough to warrant swapping away from Kyrian or Night Fae.

So the last new hunter legendary has been revealed:
Мешочек с осколками бритвы
(Venthyr)
NEW
(Venthyr) Bonus Kill Shots from Flayed Shot cause 6 targets within 8 yds to bleed for 35% of the damage dealt by Kill Shot over 6 sec.
Overall, this is an interesting idea as it's trying to fix the issue of Venthyr being pure Single Target, but it doesn't fix it in a reliable way. The first issue is that this is connected to the free proc only, which means that depending on your RNG, you can the proc fairly late into the any "burst" pull. The second issue that unless the bleed functions like ignite and stacks its damage, it might also be possible to munch the damage if you happen to get the procs within 6 sec of each other. Third issue is that even with this legendary you're likely to do less AoE dps (especially burst) than some of the stronger covenants without a legendary. And finally, I'm not sure if it actually has higher theoretical damage output than
Кассетные огнебомбы
, as such it might still end up getting unused for those situations.
