looking back on Legion; looking forward to Battle for Azeroth

After a bit of a hiatus, Z & Cinder’s Blog Challenge is back in action with a timely pair of topics:

Part 1 – What were your top 3 moments in Legion?
Part 2 – What are you most looking forward to about Battle for Azeroth?

Part 1
Legion had so many great moments. The storytelling in Legion is wonderful, from the Artifact acquisition quests to the leveling zones to the profession quest chains to the Order Hall Campaigns to Suramar to Argus.
I always love that moment in Highmountain when Ebonhorn turns into Ebyssian and Mayla is all “WHAT???!!! THE WHOLE TIME???!!!” I also really got a kick out of the part of the Suramar Insurrection campaign in which you go to do some leyline stuff in Azsuna and Valtrois and Stellagosa spend the whole time sniping at each other about who has the more superior knowledge and mastery of arcane magic. And I enjoyed the wand practice, rune drawing, and fantastic beasts quests at Nar’thalas Academy so much that Kaelinda often goes to do the WQ versions of them just for fun.
As for cinematics, the first three that come to mind are Greymane stopping Sylvanas from enslaving Eyir, Elune embracing Ysera (for all that that scene is heartbreaking), and Illidan eye-lasering Xe’ra to bits.

Part 2
Jaina’s story, hands down.
Rolling a new Kul Tiran lady Mage. Their body type looks awesome, and so do their hairstyles.
Sprawling, complex capital cities full of small worldbuilding details in nooks and crannies.
Island Expeditions have tons of cool Mog stuff (hello Druid of the Flame gear!) so I’d like to give them a try.
