WoW Legion: Which Broken Isles Zone Should You Level In First?

World of Warcraft: Legion handles leveling very differently than past expansions. Similar to Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm, you'll have a choice from several zones from where to begin your adeventure. However, instead of two choices you will have four.

As a matter of fact, there are a total of four zones that you can visit to level up at the Broken Isles, and you can choose which to visit first, and in which order to do them. This has been paired with a new scaling mechanic which alters the attributes of enemies you engage depending on your level. Due to this, you have a remarkable amount of freedom for how you grind from level 100 to 110.
