Some classes have one Soulbind which is more or less BiS and gives a lot of advantage both in damage and utility.
Example: Dreamweaver
You want me to purposefully gimp myself just to satisfy your argument?

This would be somewhat of an argument if all three soulbinds were remotely close to each other fulfilling the same role/role you want. Also, why are you trying to restrict which soulbind I want to use?

He thought he hit upon a âgotchaâ when he mentioned soulbinds but heâs ignorant because:
- Conduit Energy does not reset for each soulbind.
- There are soulbinds which are more or less the best for most activities in the game.

Iâm not for or against it.
But this idea of âtaking away player choiceâ and that itâs somehow the reason why the game devolved is ridiculous.
You were never given a choice.
Since wowâs inception, there was a list, and people followed it. When you follow it to âmin maxâ you automatically forfeit âplayer choiceâ.
And again, not for or against it.
Developers in all ranges of games do things that they feel might be for the betterment of the game, (notice there is a difference with them meeting your desires/wants/needs, and them doing things that they think might help the game).
I donât really agree. If folks want to waste their time doing something like this that much then I say let them.
Conduit Energy can punish you for participating in all the content WoW has to offer.

This question causes great distress and anxiety in people who defend both covenants in their current form with power being tied to it and conduit energy.

The issue though, is that itâs not something that will be âwhat one player wants to doâ it will be something that all players are expected to do.
Sure, if youâre doing low-end content, like LFR/Normal raiding, then itâs not something youâre going to deal with. But if youâre doing heroic/mythic? Itâll be expected, and the same for high-end M+. The only way youâre going to dodge it is if you either run the group yourself, or you run with friends or a relaxed raid leader who doesnât care.
We literally already see this with talents. Why do folks think conduits will be different if conduit energy is purged?
And I say who cares. Literally isnât my problem if someone wants to do stupid crap like that. I shouldnât be punished for wanting to swap conduits between PvP/Raids/M+.
I donât need to be flippinâ micromanaged.

Except it doesnât work like that. Thereâs a best choice for different situations. Youâll basically be deciding which content youâre going to be subpar in if you change talents for something else and initiate the CD.
Talent A is better for this, talent B for that. Iâll be good in one and not the other. Itâs not a valuable choice. Itâs an annoying one.

Donât bother, most RPers donât understand the desire to min/maxâŚsome fear it, lest it break GASP immersion.
Are you doing mythic raiding content? Because last I checked I am and people in the guild already have enough conduit energy to swap for the bosses they need to but get punished if they need to swap after raid for pvp/m+.

No. No it wouldnât.
Every spec has pretty much 1-2 best in slot potency conduits.
Period.
Thereâs no swapping happening between bosses even if they would be able to, because 1-2 conduits outshine the others.
The only thing this inhibits is letting people swap specs easily. Because for Kyrian, Pelagos is the best no matter what. So if your offspec uses Kleia or Mikanikos, youâre shafting your offspec.

I quite literally just gave an example of an expected swap up above.
From single target to cleave for arms warriors, specifically.
And obviously, with 9.1 and beyond theyâll be adding more conduits.
Oh no, one spec in the entire game might have to swap conduits for cleave fights.
Letâs punish the entire rest of the game instead of you know, altering the conduits.

Well congrats I suppose, your guild doesnât force this kind of thing.
Can you speak for every guild that raids heroic/mythic in WoW? No, you canât.
No one cares, and those who do, shouldnât
I donât force anything, I raid with a group of people who want to perform their best so they do it on their own accord.
Imagine being such a clown you join a thread of people talking about how conduit energy is a joke then stating that nobody cares.

Thatâs your take? Really?
If one spec has optimal conduits for single target and cleave fights, Iâm sure others do as well. Mainly because AoE is fantastic for M+ so if thatâs what youâre doing, youâre going to want those AoE centric conduits.
But the moment Blizzard eliminates conduit energy, swapping conduits will be something that will be expected. We already see this with talents, if you donât think it will happen with conduits as well, I have a bridge to sell you.
Imagine thinking this is a thing.
You disgust me.

Imagine going on the forums to whine about a feature that doesnât affect you just because a streamer keeps nagging about it and failing to understand why it exist.
