Blaugust 2025: Remixing Legion - Again, But Different

 Legion Remix is one of those ideas that feels like it was tailor-made for me. It takes one of the expansions I spent a lot of time in — seriously, I think I may have leveled more alts through Legion than any other — and gives me a new way to experience it. Faster leveling, streamlined story progression, shiny new rewards, and that Infinite Dragonflight twist that makes it feel just different enough.

What I loved about Legion the first time around was the sheer variety it offered. Every class had its own artifact weapon, its own unique campaign, and a central place in the story. It was one of the few times in WoW where leveling alts didn’t feel repetitive — because each class gave me a fresh perspective. That was basically heaven for someone like me, who has a compulsive need to see all the things. I could run through the same zones ten times, but if I knew there was a different class story waiting for me at the end, I was hooked.



The Remix format looks like it’s going to lean into that same energy. The idea of zooming through the Broken Isles with accelerated leveling and time-limited goals scratches both the nostalgia itch and my love of efficient progress. It’s like Blizzard decided to give me the “express lane” version of my favorite expansion, while also layering in new rewards to chase. And let’s be honest — if there’s one thing I can’t resist, it’s shiny rewards tied to content I already like.

That brings me to the hard part: figuring out what class to play for it. My Warlock, Joar, will always be my main in the long run, but for Remix, it feels right to do something different. I’ve narrowed it down to four: Warrior, Monk, Death Knight, or Demon Hunter. Each one has its appeal, but Legion was the Demon Hunter expansion, and I never really gave them a fair shake back then. With all the fel-green aesthetic, double-jumps, and glaive-throwing drama, they’re probably the most fitting choice for a second trip through Legion’s story.

Still, what excites me most isn’t which class I land on, but the chance to relive the high points of Legion in a new way. Charging through those iconic zones, revisiting Suramar (this time hopefully with a little less grumbling about mana wine), and diving back into the class-centric stories — it’s like a greatest-hits album for one of WoW’s best expansions.

So yes, I’ll agonize over my class decision, and I’ll probably second-guess myself three times before I log in. But the real draw here is the Remix itself — a chance to take one of my favorite stretches of WoW history and play it again with fresh eyes. And honestly, if it means I end up with another max-level character and a few new blog posts about my adventures along the way, that’s a win no matter which class I end up choosing.
