As I mentioned before
when World of Warcraft Legion graces us with its presence, we will be getting
our hands on some lovely legendary artifacts. These artifacts will not be so
much found in a dusty old castle or by leveling our fucking archaeology because no
one wants to do that anymore, but from the lore heroes within the game that
have either died, given into despair, or given the weapon to the player because
let’s face it they weren’t fucking using it…with a few exception of course. So
there are to be 36 different artifacts for every spec possible and each will
have its own skill tree, yet another
reason for me to have a hour debate with my friend as to why choosing one
talent rather than the other, coming to a totally different conclusion and end
up playing Heroes. Now the thing the bothers me is that some of these items are
rather famous such as Doomhammer, Ashbringer, and Thas’dorah belonging to
Thrall, Tirion Fordring and the Windrunners respectively. Now, as far as I
understand, we are “acquiring” these weapons from those heroes, but does that
mean Blizzard are going to kill off some of their more fan favourite lore
characters or turning them into little pansies so much so that we finally say,
“fuck it let me do it”? Some of the way we make other of the weapons sounds
better than looting lore characters. Such as the weapon for a frost death
knight, which has us returning to Ice Crown to get some shards of Frostmourne
to forge two new weapons, Icebringer and Soulreaper. Not only does to sound
similar to the Shadowmourne quest, but it might clear up what happened to
Frostmourne which apparently keeps some fan boys/girls up all night…or they are
raiding. Adding to the insanity is giving survival hunters a spear from some
tauren. Now my hunter did carry a polearm back in the Wraith days, but that was
just for the stats it had, and if I ever got close enough to a target to use
it, I would throw my hands up in the air yelling “nuh nuah nuf”, putting as
much distance as I could between me and the thing my fucking pet was supposed
to be keeping entertained with bear slaps to the face.
I love the idea of
having these unique to spec items and having to work to get them, but I feel
that there is something terrible on the horizon in terms of how we get some of
the items. Still I personally can’t wait for my paladin to beat the shit out of
demons with Ashbringer, but at what cost? In the meantime, finding a place to
hide his body is high on my priority list.
