Venthyr isn’t too bad. Draven is a pretty solid tanking soulbind as well.
Covenant ability wise though. While Sinful Brand is decent for single target, it just can’t compete with Elysian Decree or The Hunt for AoE unless you meta. Of course, it’s a little better for Vengeance(since meta is 3 minutes). But still not quite as good as the other two.
Phial is also really great.
Ultimately though, Elysian Decree feels 100x better than Sinful Brand in M+. But like you, I just couldn’t deal with the aesthetic for my DH, so I went Venthyr and have enjoyed it. Have also had some hilarious boss kills as the last person to die with Service in Stone getting the killing blow, lol.
Night Fae is definitely a strong contender, but considering most of my alts seem to be Night Fae types(due to enjoying the ability for them), I can’t bring myself to swap this girl. Stubborn ftw.
