Raid enters second to last Boss chamber and there she is, Marysurvanus, and sheās not red yet. We all file in and she breaks down a little, tells us she realizes itās all been a horrible mistake and that she only ever had the best of intentions. Then she flags up.
Raiders listen respectfully until one little guy theyāre carrying because heās a Raid Leaderās kid brother pipes up and says āWhat, are you guys crazy - thatās Sylvanus ffs. Kill her!!ā whereupon the rest of us come to our senses and deliver a historic beatdown with none of that Green Jesus kill stealing or taking her down to nearly dead garbage. Sheās deadā¦burnt, broken, lying in a pool of blood, etcā¦
In other news, Wylee hit 60 and in an absolute style over substance decision I chose Venthyr as a covenant. I donāt care that itās completely sub-optimal. The zone fits his Worgen Warlockiness perfectly - and thatās that.
Illidan had one of the absolute best story arcs, and the two best lines, in the xpac. Fight me.
āI AM MY SCARS!ā and āOnly we can save ourselves.ā as he struck a blow against religious extremismā¦and I cheered when he turned that windchime into shards on the floor.
Same. Out of the three toons I have that have chosen a Cov., I havenāt done any research on abilities. Granted, Iāve seem to have gotten luck or I at least like my Cov abilities fair enough, but for me itās a matter of theme and story rather than percentages.
I research the abilities because a) Iām a nerd, and b) even if Iām picking a sub-optimal choice, Iād still like the ability to be at least interesting.
For example, I went Necrolord on Somand because I find out of the four, Maldraxxus seems like the afterlife that suits her plot the most. But I also reckoned that even though itās not top tier, at least Death Chakram sounds cool and fun to use (Iāve used it in some old raids, it is).
Diggin the new look now that itās showing up in your avatar. Hopefully Blood Elves get more hairstyles like that with a variety of braid styles. Looks especially nice with that skin tone.
Well, and I wonder how much they tried to balance the covenants based on what they thought people would choose.
My Necrolord DK gets this AOE hand slappy thing thatās actually really good, and both my Belf MM and Belf DH went Venthry and both got some kind of dot that works really well with how I play them.
Iāve heard thatās really good in arenas too. Itās DKs best ability for arena iirc.
One thing that sucks about the system, beyond just some of the abilities kinda sucking: two Covenants give you movement abilities, which are amazing on some classes, and kinda useless on others, while the other two donāt.
For example, DKs are notably lacking in movement, but would you really wanna go Night Fae on a DK just to cover that weakness?
I wouldnāt know. I suck at PvP. I havenāt done it in earnest since Wrath.
This is true. Like I ran my DH partially through the story and found the Maldraxxus power really lacking. You summon a demon and then you have to kill it and get like a 30 sec buff. Itās an okay buff and killing the demon isnāt bad even in a big fight (toss glave does like a 1000x extra damage).
Butā¦ Itās like why that extra step. Itās such a weird thing imo.
