Summary so far about Legion

In this roundup we mention all the important news that we know so far about the upcoming World of Warcraft Legion expansion.

Demon Hunter

• The Demon Hunter is the new class in the upcoming Legion expansion.
• It will be a hero class that will start between levels 95-100 (not decided yet).
• They will start in an Outland area called Guardians Vault where they will get missions as Illidari under Illidan's command.
• It is an agile class and therefore will wear leather armor.
• It will have 2 specializations. DPS melee (chaos) and Tank (revenge).
• They will carry 1-handed weapons, including Gujas.
• For now, it is the only class that can carry tattoos, in addition to having a large repertoire of customization available (types of tattoos, colors, body skins and horns).
• For more detailed information visit our post at the following link Demon Hunter

Artifacts

• Artifacts are the new weapons that will be introduced in the World of Warcraft Legion.
• These weapons will be very powerful legendary weapons, it is not planned to introduce more weapons in Legion except artifacts.
• There will be a total of 36 artifacts. One for each specialization in each class.
• Artifacts will evolve as we fight by completing specific missions, dungeons, raids, battlefields, etc.
• Artifacts have a unique interface with a "talent tree" that we will develop in any order we like. This talent tree will grant us great improvements for our characters.
• In addition, these weapons will be fully customizable. Being able to modify the colors, the shape, etc.
• We will be enhancing our artifact weapon throughout the expansion.
• Some of the artifacts that have already been announced include: Crematoria, Felo'melorn, Icebringer and Soulreaper, Sheilun, Staff of the Mist, Thas'dorah, The Eagle Spear, Cursed Hammer, Fangs of the First Nightsaber, Maw of the Damned and Glacial Ebony.
• For more detailed information on the artifacts visit our article at the following link Legendary artifacts.

Classes

• It is not yet decided if a new 110 talent line will be created as Artifacts already have their own talent tree.
• No further compression of the statistics is planned.
• The Survival Hunter will be a melee class with a pet. They will use a polearm as their main weapon. They will have a Pole Weapon Artifact for this.
• Marksmanship hunter will be a ranged DPS with no pet.
• The Beast Hunter will be a ranged DPS with a pet.
• The Demonology Warlock will lose his Metamorphosis ability. Instead he will gain abilities that empower his minions and demons.
• The Sorcerer Destruction and Affliction will continue to have access to minions and demons.
• The Discipline Priest is going to be modified with the intention of targeting a very offensive Healer.
• The general idea is that the priest discipline is 50% Damage 50% Heal.
• The Discipline Priest will no longer function as in the past with Contrition. It will be a more interactive system with more complexity than using Holy Fire, Punishment and Penance.
• The Blizzard team has learned some lessons about how the Mistweaver Monk works and they plan to talk about how they will solve some of the problems with this class in the future.

Dungeons

• There will continue to be Normal and Heroic difficulty dungeons in the Legion expansion.
• It is not yet decided to introduce Mythic dungeons although the team would like to do so.
• Challenge mode dungeons is a mode that the blizzard team is quite fond of but it is not yet decided if they will be implemented in the future expansion.
• World of Warcraft Legion will feature 9 starting dungeons.
• The theme of the new dungeons is very varied. The team is working on finding a system to make it beneficial and entertaining to replay the dungeons.

Bands

• The team is satisfied with the current difficulty of the raids and they plan to continue using the same system as in Draenor.
• It is intended to improve the loot system. The team will talk about some ideas for this.
• There are encounters where melee classes are favored and others where rank classes are favored. There is a good balance between these 2 situations and no changes are planned.
• World of Warcraft Legion will feature 2 starting raids; Emerald Nightmare and Suramar Palace.
• Rumor has it that Sylvanas could be a gang leader. The team would find it very interesting.
• For more information on Legion gangs visit the following article at this link New dungeons and raids.

World

• The new area where the events of the World of Warcraft Legion will take place will be called Broken Isles.
• The new city for the future expansion will be Dalaran. It has not yet been decided if it will be a sanctuary environment or zones will be created to divide the 2 factions.
• Kharazan will be an important place.
• The key to defeating the Burning Legion can be found on these islands.
• The map will consist of 7 zones initially.
• For much more information about the new Legion zones visit our article Broken Isles, new continent.

Player vs. Player

• In world of Warcraft Legion the new Honor Version 3 system will be implemented.
• This system is based on a progress bar that will develop as we earn honor points.
• By completing a bar we will gain Rank. Ranks give us various advantages that will strengthen our characters in PvP.
• Part of these perks are a PvP talent system (totally independent from PvE). These talents will be unlocked as we rank up. When we reach rank 50 we will have the entire tree.
• The rank obtained in exchange for Prestige can be reset.
• The Prestige will grant us cosmetic rewards such as mounts, transforms, and alternate aspects of artifact weapons.
• The prestige level will be indicated in the portrait of our character.
• These updates will not affect outdoor PvP.
• For more information on the new PvP system visit the following link Honor System V3.

Fly

• The team liked how the aspect of flying on Draenor worked. It is planned to use a similar system where initially you cannot fly and when you meet certain exploration requirements, achievements etc ... let's unlock this feature.
