Hpriest here and im gonna pick night fae... crazy choice and worst covenant for me but kyrian is soo much cliche for priests, wanna pick something diferent and the idea of "support" priest is not that bad. Also ardenweald story impressed me far more then any other covenants.Also picking a covenant only because 5% versatility bonus.. wtf!Night fae offers a haste buff every time you activate your covenant ability thats nothing? and with haste buff returning to priest! i dont know people play what you see fit for your class and what you personaly thing that could improve your gameplay style. What is BiS now can be nerfed later.
Great guide! I would be most interested in a similar breakdown for PVP, with experts' opinions of course. Guides of that type are underrepresented imo.
I really wish we could "+1" comments on articles.
i am still going Necrolord for my DK no matter what these so called experts say they only create competitive environment and makes a player feel down for choosing something that the players dont like.
Figures that the best covenant are not the one that fit my class fantasy. Great f*ing job blizz.
The irony of using a Steward as the thumbnail for this article didn't pass unnoticed, Wowhead. I see what you did there.
I personally think this specific content should not be posted. We should not encourage people minmaxing this when it's meant to be a choice of which you like most personally.
the plague comes from house of plague in maldraxxus, and unholy uses all plague spells and undead minions, so which covenant is best for dk unholy? ofc kyrian! ok thats not cool at all, and i dont like dude. i will pick Necrolord for my unholy, Because thats the best for dk. picking kyrian for unholy is kinda like dk can use holy spells... i would pick kyrian for my paladin ofc, but not for dk, NOT death knight! ok. i hope they change it, or make it way cooler than this. i like whole thing about covenants, but seems like lore and story is nothing :/. give me my plague power from necrolords blizzard, i like that more than those owls
Seems to be a grand total of only 8 BIS that match their spec thematically. lmfaoImagine not even making an attempt to make the Druid covenant be good for Druids, the DK covenant be good for DKs, etc.... Like what in the !@#$ are they even doing up there?
Every soulbind tree has an ability that can improve dps/hps around 2%, while you have to give up a potency conduit. They are usually bind with endurance or finesse slot where the tree splits into 3 lanes. However, Pelagos has the killer ability without giving up potency conduit, and he does not give useful ability by losing a potency conduit on line 3. Seems like an erroneous placing of conduits. Let Go of the Past must be swapped with Phial of Patience or Road of Trials.
To all the people saying "You don't need to be good at everything." I think these types of players forget that that exactly one part of the game that makes it fun- a competitive PVE environment to be better than others, harder the work the better the reward. You may not care to get the achievements for yourself, but others do. Stop being naive, because if the restrictions didn't exist it wouldn't have the same effects.This does have a big effect on players who want to do PVE and PVP as well.
#PullTheRipcordThe more i read peoples' comments here the more i lose faith in the community. Get a grip please.
Was going with Kyrian anyway, regardless of performance, for my Priest... :P
