For Maldraxxus.
Id rather be charging into battle with Garrosh if i’m being honest. Id have no problem with them bringing back Garrosh as some Necrolord Warlord.

Garrosh would never be in Maldraxxus though.

Maldraxxus is for souls who valued might and power above all else, and lived their life as warriors.
So because Garrosh was prideful of The Hordes legacy that automatically disqualifies him from an afterlife meant for warriors like him?
Sylvanas is starting to sound right to me.
He first has to go through Revendreth before being allowed the chance at another afterlife. Garrosh by his nature would never admit he was wrong so he’d never make his way out, except to the Maw eventually.

Garrosh was evil therefore revendreth.
Maybe we could’ve found a more interesting character, like Doomhammer there though.

I think Broxigar would have been the perfect choice for Maldraxxus.

He died in Argus, his soul was most likely burned and consumed by demons.
Draka is kind of a weak offering, considering the sheer pedigree of warrior archetypes this game has to offer. There’s about a dozen more worthy characters than Thrall’s Mom.
Hopefully they make it work. I’d low key love to see Garrosh making a splash in the afterlife. I enjoyed him very much.
They could have just came up with some BS reason like “The Axe of Cenarius protected his soul from the demons”.
Don’t worry Garrosh is around. I mean, he’s being milked, but he’s there.
Maldraxxus in general seems uninspired.
But I’m sure draka was chosen for very specific Thrall-related reasons.
Omg could you imagine if players went into Shadowlands and saw Garrosh?? Tables would be flipped if SL has tables.
Maldraxxus is my favorite zone theme wise. Necrolord is just terrible for my preferred content and spec/class choice. I have to go with garrosh milk daddies if I wanna be relevant.
I mean, the decrepit gross nightmare undead realm doesn’t really mesh with the noble might makes right warrior.
But whatever, I guess. In a realm where everyone’s a skull-faced rot monster it sure is lucky that Draka is still an foxy orc soccer mom
The one thing I dread about Shadowlands is Kyrian is currently the best Warlock covenant.
Id love to RP and collect items I personally want, but I’m also playing a game with other people, and I don’t wanna be kicked out of groups.
You likely won’t be kicked out of groups. Folks over estimate how much investigating others do while forming a group. You’ll likely underperform though, which does hurt you later with those players if you expect to get invited again or continue on. I personally hate under performing so I’m going to go with the covenant I don’t want for the power gain. Oh well.
And would be even more awesome for the players who know the lore surrounding him. Would have been an awesome choice.
Clearly his sins outweigh his actions.
Seems to me the other 3 covenants are where just creatures go that have shown special consideration to the specific area, whereas Venthyr is slightly different as it is typically a punishment, a place for those who deserve the Maw, but are perhaps not too far from redemption.
You could look at the other 3 as rewards, whereas Venthyr is a punishment.
It doesn’t matter how much you should deserve to belong to Kyrian, Night Fae, Maldraxxus etc, if you have sinned enough it overwrites your other deeds and sends you to the sin bin.
Not only that, but Kyrian for Warlock is very single target focused. Outside of raids players using Maldraxxus/Venthyr for example would probably actually outperform or at least equal Kyrian in AoE situations which content like M+ favours.
It’s not just warriors that go to maldraxxus. Also, pretty sure Draka was picked solely based around “We need to make Maldraxxus not look like 100% baddies.”. that was the kind of vibe I picked up from blizzcon when they were talking about covenants and brought up Maldraxxus, “hey, they’re not all bad, they got Draka.”
