This, they cannot design encounters around covenant abilities otherwise they are forcing a covenant choice, therefore the necro bubble is as useful as the health potion but the night far Fox and the venthyr teleport make fights more trivial because they can’t be designed around either

Venthry’s Doorway would have broken some of the hardest bosses in the game, completely trivializing stuff like G’huun, Jaina, Azshara, Carapace and N’zoth himself.
The level of utility that Venthry offers compared to any of the other three is incomparable.

Currently it seems like different choices will be better for different content. They are not junk. They just serve different purposes.
You’re completely missing my point.

But there is no choice. If you want to run competitive m+ keys, you essentially have to be venthyr.
Very likely the same for heroic/ mythic raiding.
So your choice doesn’t matter, because it’s already been made for you.
You arent seeing the issue, none of the others are good enough to be used over door, because you dont need the nercolord shield because you dont need it period, you dont need a health potion, and the night fae is a worse movement utility than the venthyr teleport, the teleport is vastly superior in every way because the game isnt designed around any of them, they have to make a game with no covenant abilities and then just add them on top

And so if you want to build your character to specifically be focused on M+, you pick door. And if you get tired of M+, you switch covenants.
What’s the issue?
door will be OP no matter what content you are doing

It’s going to be wonky and hardly ever work though.
On top of likely needing to be on perfectly flat terrain and not working over gaps.
It’s good in theory, but im betting it’s actually going to be terrible.
That’s a choice. If you wanna be better at PVP, go to the other house. That’s a choice. You’re choosing an area to excel at
it can go up and down levels and across gaps, it is heroic leap with no limits but range
That’s not gonna make it to live.
swalsh get out, you have already proven that you are an idiot
I promise you people will be finding some crazy class covenant ability + specific soul bind spec + legendary combinations that will be OP for various pulls and bosses and content all over the game.
And if everyone jumps on one ability it will just be nerfed.
So in the end, just pick the covenant you like most. Everything numbers-wise is going to be in flux the entire expansion.
We can already see footage of people doing stuff with the Venthyr teleport you can’t do with Heroic Leap or Demonic Gateway. You would be dumb to not take it, as a talent row ability, on your ultra casual WQs only character.

the point of this whole thing is that covenants arent a choice, they are 1 good option, and 3 options that will make it next to impossible to get into good content

It’s amusing hearing this from someone who pretty much copy and pasted the talent choices from Icy-Veins.
It’s easy to say “choices should matter” when you’re just going to follow a guide anyway.

What will you do when door is the best covenant utility ability but a certain legendary + soul bind combo from another covenant is OP for DPS?
hard dps increases wont be as much of a damage increase as the utility you can get, because you can continue dps faster, watch preach’s video and you will see what we are talking about

You sure do make a lot of assumptions.
