Just like how talents are flavor abilities for certain situations?

Let me help you here. People have fun in different ways (subjective). Therefore, because people have fun in different ways the system should be flexible so everyone can have fun. Did that help?

4238 posts on a system still inaccessible and/or under testing. Incredible. The internet truly is a blessing.

Talents influences how a spec plays. They are interchangeable. Covenant abilities are actual flavor abilities in that they compliment the spec and are NOT interchangeable.
And now you’re part of it. Aren’t you proud? xd

What is fun for me may not be fun to you, so the game should be flexible and allow for both of us to have fun. One stance on this issue is a feel bad stance for some players. The other stance allows people to play how they choose.

Okay, when you look at a covenant ability does it not scream “TALENT” at you or is that just me?

Even wowhead thinks so.

It’s just you.
I think it’s time they changed the WoW players mindset. It has ruined the game. You’re playing it this way only because you think you have to - and you do not. It’s literally ruining fun for others.
So, change the channel – Covenents should be permanent and locked.
p.s Tom Chilton is long gone from WoW 
I wouldn’t go that far, but man World of Warcraft player entitlement is some to be admired.
Balance affinity, Feral affinity and Guardian affinity are just actual flavor abilities in that they compliment the spec.

Except…my covenant abilities influence how I play. For example, if I went Kyrian I want to cast essence font 3 times when the Kyrian ability is active. But if I go necrolord I want to take refreshing jade wind and rising mist and push out my renewing mists on CD before using bonedust brew and spamming vivify. They literally change my playstyle depending on covenant.

It actually screams essence to me, but like talents, we can also switch those at will. Just saying this as a current precedent example of how borrowed power can be kinda fun when given flexibility.

They give the Druid an amount of Utility that can change how the spec is played. None of the Covenant abilities do that.
You misunderstand. Covenants are worse talents. CONDUITS are worse essences.

How? You are literally picking out of a selection of abilities to change up your play style just like talents do.
You want to be more tanky? Talent for it.
You want more to do more AoE, talent for it.
You want more AoE? Go to the covenant that does AoE for you.
The only thing that covenants change in terms of flavor are the aesthetic appearance and story of your character.

2.5 million accounts were discovered and checked, which gave:
- 63% of players had completed at least one LFR boss.
- 33.4% of players had completed at least one Normal boss.
- 19.3% of players had completed at least one Heroic boss.
- 7% of players had completed at least one Mythic boss.
Explain those numbers. You can get that data off of WOWPROGRESS. Interesting insnt. Makes you think why Blizzard would focus less on RAID utility and M+ then on other content.
