Big Updates to our Shadowlands Soulbind Calculator

Shadowlands Posted 2020/07/27 at 1:58 PM by perculia

Shadowlands

The UI has received a big overhual with new backgrounds, lit-up nodes, and options to swap between soulbinds in a particular covenant.

Previously the calculator was view-only, but now you can select traits. Your path will automatically be saved in the dynamically-updating URL and a spell summary appears underneath the calculator.

Conduit nodes can be selected as well, letting you choose between all the class-specific options for Finesse, Potency, or Endurance Conduits.

While we're not quite sure how you'll obtain conduit ranks, we've added support for this upgrade system as Blizzard is actively adding more data on ranks each week. When you select a conduit, you'll also have the option to select a rank now.

Comment by SaizonicI love wowhead thank you for this. :DComment by MarmiFeelsRogueManComment by TheRedRogueFeelsRogueManComment by DayonIs it intentional that a conduit in one soulbind occupies a slot in a different soulbind?Comment by AlcestFeelsRogueManComment by TheRedRogue

And our legendaries, and our anima powers, and our completed talent tree, and our actually *MODIFIED* talent tree, and our more than 1 good covenant ability... /sighComment by Assassinthis is awesome thanks. you cant equip 2 of the same conduit in the real game too? like it this way tbh.Comment by RevengeVUnsure if this is how it is in-game but, currently on the calculator if for example: You equip a DPS conduit in the second row of the Pelagos Soulbind then the second row DPS Conduits of all the other Soulbinds (Kleia and Forgelite Prime Mikanikos) also get that same conduit.

Is that intended/how it is in-game?Comment by schmilblickSignature and class abilities are still missing, so we don't know what does the covenant offer when choosing it, thank you and keep up the great work.Comment by MookzIt needs to show what the covenant class ability and base abilities are somewhere. Other than that, looks good.Comment by MagedraeneiCan I just say, I recognized that each soulbind has a unique URL - that is awesome! That will make for easy sharing with others.

Big thanks!Comment by byneIs it intended that we'll have conduits for abilities our spec doesnt have? For example blade of justice conduit but you're a prot paladin?Comment by drjo93How are these different from the old talent trees? Other than the fact that you have to farm out conduits (talent points), instead of getting them by leveling up?Comment by braddeus2How are these different from the old talent trees?

using my knowledge of raiding on my hunter, i tried looking for soulbinds that affect damage/crit rating for bm spec my main raiding spec, even though i havent checked what the main spec will be in shadowlands. and i have determined that the venthyr and the night fae have an npc worth soulbinding for raiding as a bm hunter.

imagine being the raid leader who has to know every npc that each specfic class has to choose to be worthy of raiding. i definitely dont think i'd remember that crap.Comment by 1346918FeelsRogueManComment by Khalzulanyone else notice that there is no easy way to tell which covenant's soulbinds fit in what gameplay categories? i feel alot of players are gonna get confused on what to pick and get excluded from raids because theres no clear definition of whats good for what class/game play aspect.Comment by AlexVoydYou can pick conduits linked to other covenants which i guess is not intented. for example as a kyrian mage i could choose "deathborne" conduit which is the necrolord covenant ability.
