Sadly, the run up to any release to a new expansion is always a long and drawn out process, with the lack of new content and things to do. The introduction of Legion, will be a longer wait than the release of any previous expansion. But if you’re willing to read this first installment, you’ll find plenty of things to occupy you until Legion finally hits and hopefully prevent you from cancelling your subscription.
PvP:
With the introduction of Season 3, everyone will be keen to gear up again. Dont worry if you’ve not done any PvP in Seasons 1 and 2, as all gear whether PvP/PvE will get boosted to 715 ilvl (15 ilvl below Gladiator gear from Season 2) in Season 3 whilst within a Battleground, Arena or Ashran. This helps close the gaps for new players. However, always remember ilvl is just a guide of your gear, it isnt the important factor, you’ll need to concentrate on the stat priority for your class in PvP, to reap the full rewards of your gear.
Ashran can be an excellent way to gear up, if you have the patients. There are many objectives and quests to occupy you, and as long as you’re within a good group and lead by a good leader, the task becomes almost effortless. If you’re unfortunate and dont get a good leader or group, this task is almost near impossible or could take some time to complete.
Tips:
When you kill a player in Ashran, make sure you loot the corpse. You will have a chance to loot one of the following.
Each one of these items, will earn you a Dented Ashmaul Strongbox, which contains either gold, PvP points or gear. Horde corpses drop alternative tokens and reward the same Strongbox.
Pick up some Song flower which can be found in The Dark Woods. Upon use, will increases all your stats by 15% for 1 hour.
Star Root Tuberfound in Gorian falls. Restores health and reduces 40% damage taken for 10 seconds.
Make sure you kill the rares within Ashran, as they drop Manuals, Books and scrolls that will benefit spells for your class. A map outlining all the rares can be found below.
Mount Runs:
You may have read my previous articles here or via Twitter, that Ive started running old instances to earn hard to obtain Mounts. Most recently I finally got the Fiery Warhorse’s Reins from Karazhan. Here’s a list of some other Mounts that maybe of interest to you and no doubt, something for your friends to envy.
I hope that this has given you some ideas or motivation, if not, be sure to read my next installment where I’ll hopefully tempt you further. Thanks for reading!
