I was pretty blown away with the effort that was put into the fifth “endgame” zone, Suramar. Players can opt to choose where they want to go first, and even though they’ll eventually see all four starting regions, the chance to go to place you might find more enticing without being forced into a typical ho-hum “starter zone” forced the team to put effort into every area. The shared mountains of Highmountain and Stormheim allow for the map to feel like a cohesive, organic setting, and the lore-heavy Val’Sharah and Azsuna have something for returning players.īut in typical MMO fashion, the game isn’t over at the cap. Not only can Demon Hunters double jump, but they can opt to spread their wings as well, protecting them from harmful falls more effectively than any other prior method like a Mage’s “levitate.” It makes for some incredible moments, leaping off gigantic mountaintops and slowly cruising through terrain with a giant wingspan in tow, especially since Blizzard has packed-in so many little Easter eggs and hidden alcoves in the new Broken Isles zone - more-so than any expansion before it. I can hold hate in dungeons as a tank and deal a respectable amount of damage, my kit is diverse with a number of CC (crowd control), AOE (area-of-effect), and single-target abilities, and the skill tree offers an array of alterations.īut really, it’s the gliding effect I love.

To make this a more rounded review I took the brand new hero class of Demon Hunter to the new level 110 cap, and it’s slowly become one of my favorites. I’ve finally reached the top for Legion working my way through Mythic dungeons, so I feel like I can make a complete assessment.

It’s strange watching this digital avatar morph into something more personal over time, something that you’ve painstakingly created as an extension of yourself. I keep a catalog during the leveling process of every World of Warcraft expansion, from the opening moments to the second I ding at the cap.

It always feels strange looking back to screenshots of a journey through an MMO.
