You could choose based on this, and then at any moment it could all change...
I think that the majority goes with what they want, but the minority is vocal and seems larger than it is.
I respect all the hard work put behind this, as well as the professional and intelectual reasoning pertaining to it, however, no matter what Blizz nerfes or turns slightly OP, at the end of the day, I will always play the same: what I like.That being said, the covenants make little to no difference for me. I've had my eyes set on Necro and Venthyr sets, going for both of those with all armor types, and I'll dip in Kyrian and Night Fae for whatever's left to be collected.Outlaw Rogue, Blood DK, Survival Hunter, random clother I haven't decided yet have always been my main/alt1/alt2 so I'm going to stick to my guns.I encourage those who wanna progress to give some importance to what these wonderful people tell us, but make sure you like what you chose, else it's just a grind of a grind that will make your teeth grind.Thanks for the guide, comments and all your hard work.Have an awesome day, rock on!~grim
I actually love that we get to carve out our own path, been wanting this since vanilla. I'm going to be a member of my covenant and represent them and their storyThese complaints are same as complaining why a druid can't use shaman abilities, or why a warlock can't have paladin spells or plate, some complaints that say we should have access to everything are pretty ridiculous - like we should be able to be max level and level 1 interchangeably if we want, and can be in both zangarmarsh and northrend via button press. just because things are in the game doesn't mean everything should have access to everything. we should get to be any race anytime as we play just because there are different races available in the game. blizzard made covenants what they are but players decide they want the covenants to be something they're not. that's like reading a book and demanding the words were different - telling a different story.
because I'm an altoholic and like making gold, all but one of my characters will be night fae for the materials gardenI'm sad the other covenants don't have the same material making ability but it is what it is
People defending Blizzard’s incompetence in introducing this system are really sad. Like corruption wast bad, Infinite Stars/TD go brrrr.You are free to chose whatever covenant you want, and Raid Leaders are free to not accept you or kick you due to your low dps/survivability.Enjoy your WQ content, and say “Thank you Blizzard, its a great system(but pease can you buff my covenant so I’m viable?)”
Covenants are paths for our characters, not toyboxes. I like getting to choose my path. I love the thought that went into covenants and how each one boasts a kit unique to your character and I do believe this is a path of meaningful choices. Last thing we want is for everyone to be able to be/do everything, then we're all the same and no one boasts any individualism or uniqueness. no point in playing your character, because someone else is already that character.I like our characters being members of covenants so we're each representing different aspects of the shadowlands. Instead of complaining what you don't have, be prideful of who you are a part of and represent, be glad you chose your people and their story to connect with, and be happy your aesthetics and spells/abilities are something only your character/spec will be able to preform among countless others who've chosen differently.We're going to see a world full of modified, differently played toons who each bring something new and different instead of cookie cutter classes and specs. This is most exciting. Finally, our characters will be true rpg world-built, and have some uniqueness in them.
I dont care, Nightfae only! xD
Everyone needs to read why it says BiS before throwing fits.For example, for BDK it says Kyrian is best for raid hinged on if the Phial works in the raid. The article before clearly states that Phial no longer works to remove the raid encounter bleeds, nor does Stoneform. So guess what? Going Night Fae (if Death's Due doesn't negate the Relish in Blood talent) or Venthyr for moving my slow rear through the Shadowlands. Do your research lads.
this is total bs...sorry utterly crap.... I have no interest in being a kyrian.. the renown rewards have nothing to do with a destro warlock..so hopefully I will explain this to my guild i'm going necrolords .. and hope they understand..
80% of the list, both Raid and Mythic+ looks like "Pick Bastion or die", I like it... NO!
Okay... so this is what we've been saying since Beta release... I want to play Necrolord warrior but now I have to !@#$ing play Venthyr or my guild will be like you're not invited for raids in this expansion. So much for player choice...#PullTheRipcord
