Comment by DarkShade doesn't have a "massive overkill" exceptionComment by Olympus3129Well I mean with how strong elysian decree is, I'm not surprised at all. Covenant abilities shouldn't be your top damage by a mile.Comment by Olympus3129This, VDH is not even OP, yhea we have a better time than other tanks, but we are far from what a warrior was in BFA, other classes need buffs
Monks and druids are doing ok. especially because they have a passive mitigation and a lot of ways to kite. i hate that people want nefs to a class because its performing better than the otherComment by voidoxsigh, I hate how kyrian covenant is literally the only real choice to make for VDH :/ so much for "all covenants viable" eh blizzardComment by rowaasr13
blizz is a powerhouse of fantasy inovation if you like it or not. if everyone did oldschool dnd style fantasy we would have a dragon in a castle raid every other expansion
