Blizzard is preparing for the launch of World of Warcraft: Legion — and players are too. With a large variety of changes, including the introduction of Artifact Weapons due to hit servers in about a week, players have quite a bit to learn if they want to stay ahead of the curve. With a total of 36 artifact weapons — based on class specialization — there’s a lot in the way of new stats and traits to learn. So, we’ve been compiling that data for you in one easily consumable package.
