If legendaries were scaled to level, then what would seperate a heirloom from a legendary other than that legendaries have a historic past? What makes a legendary well...legendary is the immense power that comes with the item. Something like a previous post said, if we wanted frostmourne, lorewise, it could lose power when the lich king loses it. therefore, its not as powerful but still gets to be wielded. (another cool thing for frostmourne would be that on use, it transfoms the wielder into the lich king for x seconds and generates x hate from all nearby mobs within a x radius, would be great for tanks to generate boss aggro), and then for ashbringer, (i believe arthas wielded it) arthas does something lore wise thats gutsy and weakens the sword. (on use: transforms the wielder into arthas, causing all nearby humanoids,beasts, undead and critters to run away in fear for x seconds or until recieving damage.) who doesnt want to transform into some crazy awesome lore god and scare the crap out of your least favorite mobs. i smell murloc fearing as the new fad?
