When class power is measured in Maw of Soul runs… there’s a problem. The Artifact Knowledge gating mechanic (to make the weapons stronger) was broken, and dramatically rewarded grinding. The customization of passive talents was fun for the first bit. A bit jumping the shark, as there’s nowhere but down to go from here. Giving players weapons of supreme lore/power was neat. The teleporters certainly helped, and trash was well spread out, so not too bad in the end. The downside I have for Argus is that flying was removed for that zone. The closure of the Burning Legion saga was really nice to see through. 99% of Argus as a quest / lore location worked for me. Which I would argue is a refinement of the Timeless Isle mechanics and lessons learned from the Broken Shore. It was a surprising amount of content for a patch.Īrgus.

Broken Shores was launched, which brought new dungeons and a raid, demon assaults, class mounts, flying (!!), class hall upgrades (and followers), and pet battle dungeons. It was nice to revisit Kara…and the nightmares of TBC. For a small patch, it did delivery some nice things. We got Karazhan, Trial of Valor, Suramar Part 2 (Nighthold), more world quests – and Falcosaurs. The dungeons provided were all quite good, though Maw of Souls, Eye of Azshara, Vault of Wardens, and Halls of Valor were the ones that worked best for me. The emissary quests were a good way to compensate for dailies, and there was always something to do when you logged on. The loss (for some) of flying for leveling was offset with the flightmaster’s whistle. The scaled content was well balanced in Legion zones, and made each area fairly similar in terms of challenge.

A simplification of stats (spirit, armor, multistrike, spell power were removed).

Up to 5 players can tap an open mob, making world quests a lot more pleasant.

Transmog:Appearances to help people sort out their looks.There were a lot of good changes at launch for quality of life. Zones and dungeons were all working well. With Legion coming to a close, let’s take a look back.
