World Of Warcraft: Legion Review

But Legion is here to save the day! World of Warcraft is back and at the best it has been for years. Legion brings with it so much new content, most of it is focused heavily in the new questing area The Broken Isles which is broken up into 5 zones, which you can quest through in pretty much any order you please. Blizzard have now implimented level scaling, making WoW a truly open world. This is great because it lets you play along with friends who have made it a little further in the game than you have without having your face murdered off and relying on them for “rez pls”.

A big part of the game that you will sink a lot of time into is working on your artifact weapon. This is basically Blizzards first successful attempt at making class-relevant content that is interesting and meaningful. You’ll have to do a few quests to pick up your class spec weapon, but once you do grab it, it feels pretty exciting to finally be able to wield a weapon that has been such a big part of the lore. Like Thrall’s Doomhammer, Bronzebeards Ashbringer or Talanas’ Bow, Thas’dorah. you basically need to level these up by gaining artifact power items as rewards from quests, dungeons, raids and encounters, which then lets you unlock extra traits and passive skills for your character. There are also vanity customisations so you don’t have 500 enhancement spec shamans with the same looking Doomhammer standing around.

One of the most highly anticipated features of Legion was the new high level hero class, the Demonhunter! The Demonhunters harness the powers of fel magic and chaos to smash their demonic enemies to pieces. They are easily one of the funnest classes to play right now and almost make you forget that you’re playing a tab targeting based game because their skills are so action packed. Their skills revolve heavily around hacking, slashing and dashing around the battlefield and even transforming into demons themselves to deliver devastating attacks including a powerful eye-beam zapper! The Demonhunters are limited to the elf races, so either blood elves or night elves.

A big theme that features heavily in basically every MMO is grinding, which is still present in the Legion expansion, except they’ve found a way to make it less repetitive. It’s quite fun actually, lots of world quests which feel like they’ve come straight over from Diablo 3 and they pretty much replace daily quests because they just don’t feel as forced or overwhelming anymore. And the end zone in the broken isles of Surumah just feels like Blizzard went ham with experimenting with questing and is a really exciting look into the future of WoW.
