Fury Warrior Artifact Quest
Fury Warrior in Legion
To say that, news-wise at least, that World of Warcraft is in a bit of a dry spell is like saying that a summer in Death Valley isn’t quite sweater weather. Understatement for the win!
Unless you’re trying to get a moose mount, there isn’t a whole lot that has people glued to the game. At least, not in Warlords of Draenor. There are those blessed souls (Twitch Streamers, I believe they’re called) that have access to the Legion alpha. And boy howdy they’re hitting it like hard and milking it for every drop of content that they can. Wowhead already has an extensive Legion Database that covers things like Demon Hunters, Artifact Talents, and screenshots of various new zones. And that’s just the tip of the information iceberg!
Many streamers are posting their experiences online. Bajheera recently posted a video regarding the Artifact Quest, Artifact Talents, Class Hall, and even some gameplay footage of the Legion’s Fury Warrior! Knowing that Bajheera loves him some Warriors, I was waiting for a video like this from him. The man delivered. Check out Bajheera’s first look at Fury Warrior in Legion!
Death Knight Artifact Talent Trees

Okay Rokkstars, I know people are stoked about getting artifact weapons in Legion. I know I am. It’ll be nice not to have to worry about looking for weapons, like, for the entire expansion. I’ll just have the one (or two in the case of my Death Knight) that I need to focus on and level up. Other folks seem to be jazzed for lore reasons, which makes sense since some of these artifacts have some name value behind them. We did get a taste of this lore in the Frost Death Knight Artifact Quest, which really tends to beef up the awesomeness of possessing iconic weapons.
As if trying to figure out own talents weren’t bad enough, we now have to plan out the talent trees of our artifact weapons. My boy Hazzed was kind enough to put together a video that explained the talents for the Death Knight artifact. Getting this kind of information early will make everything much easier to do once Legion goes live.
Check out the video from Hazzed – Death Knight Artifact Talent Tree.
Frost Death Knight Artifact Quest
Let’s go through some of the obvious bullet points here:
- I enjoy playing Death Knights.
- I have several Death Knight characters on my account.
- I plan on playing a Death Knight in Legion.
Now let’s go through some other factoids.
- I don’t have access to the Legion alpha.
- I am okay with this.
Some people might find that last bit kind of odd. But I don’t have the patience for testing, and I certainly don’t want to play a buggy game. I’m okay with waiting until the expansion goes live, and even then I wouldn’t mind waiting a few days just to have things a bit less congested.
Now even though I’m not playing any part of the expansion, I like hearing about things that should be going live when everything is done testing. Things like artifacts, aka the only weapon we’ll be using in Legion.
Bellular released a very impressive video regarding the Lich King Artifact Quest for Frost Death Knights. It was impressive for a couple of reasons. First, the quest looks easy enough to do. Second, the graphics and animations look much better than they do currently.
So check out Bellular’s video – Frost Death Knight Lich King Artifact Quest.
Bajheera Discusses Death Knights in Legion
So listen up Rokkstars, let’s all take a breath and not lose our minds for a second. What am I referring to, like, specifically this time? Well, Blizzard has recently outlined the proposed changes to various classes once Legion comes around. Now let’s remember that the beta has not even been launched yet, so some of these changes may not even happen. Let’s also remember that many people are outraged, or confused, because other people are outraged and confused and they themselves don’t know just how earth-shattering these changes might be.
I prefer to have a voice of reason explain these things. I like to hear from someone who not only is knowledgeable, but can speak to me in terms I can understand. Dumb it down for me. I don’t have a PhD in Min-Maxing or Theorycrafting.
Bajheera (@BajheeraWoW on the Twitter), he of PVP and Warcraft Hosting duties, knows a thing or two about Warriors. We all know this. What you may not know is that he’s also pretty well versed when it comes to playing a Death Knight. Witness now while he discusses the upcoming changes to the Death Knight class in Legion. Take it away, Baj!
I think I’m looking forward to playing my Death Knight Deathrokk in Legion. I suspect, should I improve my gaming rig, that I may also try to get onto a raiding team. Why? Because Death Knight’s Tier 19 armor looks fifty shades of badass.
Is your main class going through updates? Are they good or bad for the class? Let me know in the comments below what class changes you’re looking forward to in Legion!
