Finally switched from 'flavour' preference to combat power covenant

Nothing scares me more than when Clarkson gets an idea.

I dont want to ruin your day but you should have gone necrolord

This mentality really irks me. Why are you thinking that you have any place to tell someone else that they “should have made this choice instead”. I play a DH with Night Fae specifically because I like like their covenant ability. What’s good about it to me, I don’t have to change my talent tree, just to get the most out of it.

Not all choices are yours to say were right or wrong, and sometimes your opinion wasn’t asked for to begin with…

It’s an ability you need to explore ways of using it.

I did for the first few weeks. After getting “No available path” Over and over I’ve all but stopped using it. Most treasures that are up above have some other way, often easier (just jumping on a mushroom), or you can things like goblin glider to reach from a higher spot. I feel it is the worst general covenant ability.

[Pepesilvia-malfurion]

I feel you on all these points. Its basically a discount Convoke. That ability is better in a every way. Also feel for them Warriors man. Necro ability is straight garbage.

[Reynahrd-area-52]

Yeah, Necrolord is the way to go for resto shaman.

[Imindril-moon-guard]

I agree.

You can just pick the Covenant you like the flavor of, but eventually your action bar is going to drive you insane.

I switched from Kyrian to Venthyr based on Covenant abilities.

@Vaerume-sargeras

I like the overall feel of maldraxxus the most out of the covenants, but hot damn they are just a mess overall in terms of combat power. Every-time I wipe or miss timing a key, even if I made personal mistakes, I’m also wondering if being another covenant could have made up for it, cause necrolord is just so ridiculously weak compared to the other covenants.

Yup. And in arena fleshcraft and warrior’s banner are just flat miserable compared to the other three.

I got the transmog. Yay?

[Bullgrum-skywall]

see I did the reverse on my hunter, lol…

necro is MILES ahead of venthyr for survival, but after doing the necro story (cov 24) and getting all the gear/mount… it was boring… drab and bleh… poisonous snot everywhere… bleh…

so I went venthyr on my hunter cause I love the vampyr/dark broody aesthetic lol
currently leveling my cov now (13) and having alot more fun, looking and feeling much better haha.

to each their own

Edit: Not getting any renown from heroic dungeons…holy hell this game is trying to make me hate it.

I’m starting to miss Soul Shape (and Ardenweald as a whole,) but yeah I do wish it at least had a higher range.

Buuut we all know what ‘wanting’ things in present WoW means (wanting forever and nothing happens cause the devs are afk.)

Pretty much. The Dollar Store Convoke…I couldn’t help but compare them.

And yeah, I feel like Necrolord warriors are the best thematically, so…go figure. >_>

@Imindril-moon-guard

Yessss.

Knowing I could have a much better and cool ability by simply undoing all my progress in my current covenant did indeed make me feel a bit insane at times.

I mean, we went opposite directions, but the problem remains the same, yes? Imagine if you could have a better ability AND not see snot everywhere!

OP here, just saying bye.

Ok, well…I may just be done overall now. After trying to catch-up on renown and being screwed left and right, I don’t even feel like playing anymore.

17+ 5man heroics.
7+ BGs
3 LFR wings
6~ callings

For a total of 4 renown. If it weren’t for the weeklies and campaign, I’d be 1 renown ahead of just starting this damned expansion.

This is my last post on these forums for the foreseeable future; I wish this game’s RNG didn’t despise me. So much for people saying they got 2 from one dungeon. If I didn’t get it once from them I’d think I was bugged, but nope, just sh^t RNG.

Will play out some of my remaining time with those I know IRL, then am probably done. I feel like an idiot for making an effort to catch-up on renown, or thinking Blizzard would make a fair system.

Bye now. (I didn’t wanna make a new thread or hijack someone else’s, so I’m here on my alt instead…who is 5 or so renown ahead of my main (if you count my available quests) after dinging 60 monday night with 1/10th the effort lololol.)

Feels bad man.
