Soooo, circling back around now that the game has been live for a while, here’s how my Covenants have broken down. Keep in mind, I had to have 16 characters to cover all 4 armor types AND all 4 covenants. Also, I’ve put these in the order I play them, as I prefer some classes (and specs) to others.
Shaman (all specs) - Venthyr
Mage (main Frost) - Venthyr
Death Knight (main Blood, sometimes Frost) - Venthyr
Paladin (main Ret, sometimes Prot) - Kyrian
Druid (main Balance, rarely Bear or Resto) - Kyrian
Hunter (main Marks, sometimes Survival) - Night Fae
Priest (main Shadow, sometimes Disc) - Kyrian
Warlock (main Demon, sometimes Destruction) - Necrolords
Warrior (main Fury. sometimes other two) - Necrolords
Demon Hunter main Havoc, sometimes Vengence) - Venthyr
Monk (WW, sometimes Mist) - Night Fae
Rogue (main Outlaw, sometimes Sub) - Necrolords
Second Shaman (main Ele, sometimes Resto) - Necorlords
Second Mage (main Fire, sometimes Frost) - Night Fae
Second DK (main Frost, sometimes Blood) - Night Fae
Second Hunter (main Survival, sometimes Marks) - Kyrian
I originally had my first Hunter as Kyrian, but I switched that last minute. I felt that Night Fae was a stronger covenant overall, but Kyrian still had some play.
It should have escaped anyone’s notice, but in order to get ALL of the armor types, you would have to do an extra Plate and Cloth type, and TWO extra Mail types (which basically comes down to two and two for me, I enjoy both classes).
A few of them had less than optimal choices, but I think for the order in which I play them, I was able to get some pretty powerful choices for most of them based on their specs.
How about you guys? Did anyone make some early choices and change them or did you stick with it?
Also: are you happy with your picks?
