Curious on what others are picking.
For my DK, I think Necrolords or Reven.
Guessing Necro is more focused on PVP thus the pull back mechanism.
And Reven. More for PVE and Mythic.
Thoughts?
Necrolords all the way.
I want bone armor, bone wings, and a grabby arm.
Probably gonna run a second DK through Venthyr stuff though. They seem very interesting.

Venthyr is looks really fun to me. My guess unless someone is going for world firsts or what not, all the covenants will be viable.
I like the overall aesthetics of Revendreth better than any of the others, but they will be a Covenant I choose on a number of my alts. My Death Knight is my main (this character) and will definitely be going Necrolords. I don’t even know what the power of the abilities is going to be, but for the Bone Wings back transmog alone, I will be going Necrolords.

I’m torn between necrolord and revendreth tbh. I think both seem cool storywise, and i like both abilities so kind of torn. I’ll probably wait to see how the soulbinds impact the various abilities for the covenant so i can see what has the most fun options.

Honestly, if the Nightfae ability actually gives a pretty meaningful strength buff I might rock that when all is said and done, I’d really like a reason to push DnD on Frost, and that buff seems like the only reason I would. Outside of that, Necro all the way. I want to feel like a Death Knight again not a weird Cold Knight, hanging out with a bunch of liches is gonna help with that a lot and Limb seems like the next best thing to Gorefiend’s being baseline.
Reven
I enjoy the “punisher” vibe they have going on, and the swirly red mist ability looks amazing and thematic.
I hate bone aesthetics, so I will be avoiding necrolords like the plague.
Necrolords for the cosmetics. I hate to say it, but I don’t see Covenant abilities being properly balanced, so I can’t really be bothered about that part of it, even though I do genuinely want to be excited about a giant swirling mist of blood. Unless something drastic happens on alpha, it all seems liable to be changed, tuned, or altered at least once during the expansion.
The cosmetics aren’t likely to change, so I’ll be happy with that part regardless.
Necrolords for me. I really like the overall theme for DK and the ability is nice.
Despite the power of the Revendreth ability I am not particularly interested in the covenant.
Def Necrolord. The lore is too strong for DK and the abilities/mog you get are so good and compliment DK well.
I really want to go treehugger DK to get the moth backpack, but I’m not liking the covenant ability. I’ll probably go necro cuz the armor set looks really good, and who doesn’t like a third arm?
I love vampires so anything that get’s me closer to playing one is a win in my opinion. Revendreth all the way on most of my characters.
A DK avoiding something like the plague?? Blasphemy! 
I’ll be going Necro, simply for the fact I get another arm that pops out of my back. Idk what it’ll look like yet but it sounds super cool.

I will go necro and then later into the expansion make an alt and go venth so I can have both transmogs.
Whatever simcraft tells me.
Covenants need reconsideration.

Necrolords, we can’t have scourge but at least we can have scourge-like aesthetic.
I will pledge to the necrolords of Maldraxxus. I’m all about the aesthetic and lore and this covenant looks tailor made for the death Knights. Especially those of us who helped the scourge slaughter the scarlet crusaders under Arthas’ command.
Unless there is a CLEAR BiS for Blood I’m going Reven for the RP generation. Probably be the best choice for Keys for bigger pulls.

I think the teleport ability is key for dk lack of mobility in raids

If you are playing unholy or frost you better be picking Maldraxxus or else I’m taking your DK card. If you are playing blood there is no excuse for not picking Venthyr.
