Maw Of Souls

It's the holidays and let's face it -- for a lot of players, World of Warcraft takes a back seat to travel, seeing the relatives, and other festivities during the last week in December.

You can solo as Protection all day long (and it’s a blast), but you aren't tanking until you get into group content.

Legion is so close you can practically taste it — it's a bit fel, so it's sort of a combined minty and spicy with a hint of screaming — but we still have hours to wait.

Well the Legion alpha servers may have cut our time on the regular leveling stream a little short on Thursday, but that didn't stop us from having a grand old time on the good ship Naglfar.

We've been waiting for the arrival of the Maw of Souls dungeon since the Legion alpha launched -- the dungeon involves a delightful cruise on the Naglfar, a ship chock full of the souls of damned vrykul on their way to the afterlife.

Yesterday's Legion dungeon race was pretty amazing -- Maw of Souls looks like it's going to be incredibly fun.

Today the World of Warcraft devs pitted a North American 5-man team of streamers and YouTube personalities against their European counterparts in a race to finish the new Legion's Maw of Souls dungeon on their official Twitch channel.

One of the most interesting-sounding dungeons revealed back during Gamescom was the Helheim dungeon, Maw of Souls.
