Some might argue that Beast Mastery may have been the better choice as a melee spec, but I would disagree. Now we know why they kind of just gave up on Survival in Warlords. I never thought Blizzard would do it, but they did. The fantasy of fighting side by side with your pet is about to be realized. I’m digging the wolf and bear ones especially. These will presumably be from upgrades (and at least one will be the PvP-only look). They also pointed out that it has different visual themes - eagle, wolf, serpent, and bear. You’ll embark on a quest to find it and that’s all we really know.
BEST WEAPON SET UP SURVIVAL HEROES UPGRADE
Each spec will venture on a quest to retrieve their artifact and then upgrade it throughout the expansion.Īccording to the brief preview of the Eagle Spear, it is a fabled weapon of the Highmountain Tauren, a new Tauren clan in the Broken Isles.
Let’s take a look at the Eagle Spear.Ĭlass weapon artifacts in Legion are spec specific, and this is Survival’s artifact. Oh yeah, how do we know Survival is going to be a melee spec? Because their artifact weapon in Legion is going to be a spear. It is the long-awaited Rexxar Hunter spec, or maybe more accurately the Darmac Hunter spec? Pictured above is Beastlord Darmac, a melee Hunter from Blackrock Foundry.
I am beyond excited, but I’m going to have to force myself to not get TOO hyped after the disappointments in WoD, because that expansion had much better intentions (I feel) than it ultimately delivered.Īpparently, Survival is now a melee spec.īeastlord Darmac… an early hint The new Survival Hunter After being at an all time low with my general WoW excitement, I have to say that LEGION gives me some hope for WoW’s future.
Update: Survival is definitely a melee spec.
