We spent all this time in SL we should learn these abilities maybe add another talent row and make it a 4 choice to have one of the 4 covenant abilities?
Just thinking how gutted many classes are going to feel in 10.0 without the covenant ability to fix some classes issues. NF for example fills the much needed burts CD healing resto kinda needs.
Theres going to be so so very much repair needed on many class and specs come new expansion that it honestly has me worried that many will get the back seat as they always do and be utterly broken…
Feral, WW monk, enhance, fire, demo. To name a few…
Wonder if they will make these abilities or just be like “suddenly cant use this now you have forgotten everything it was all a bad dream”
I’m gonna kinda miss the crazy that is convoke…
So so many borrowedd power systems all chopped down…its another artificial problem created by over complicating the game… How do you think it’ll effect your toon and what might you think is a good fix?

“So how will blizz explain away covenant abilities?”
However they dam well please I reckon.
As for the later question, eh, I think my toon shall be alright.

I will be glad to see many of the abilities go (and I will miss some dearly)
I assume the covenants will stop helping us for some selfish reason.

Well yeah just wonder how deep on the water without a paddle many will be left afterwards xD
I just want to keep soul shape. The rest can go.

This one’s not hard actually. The covenants gave us temporary powers. When we return to Azeroth we’re no longer in the SL or doing anything with the covenants so we lose them.
Blizz can really just blink them out without any need for an explanation. They’ll probably keep them active in SL zones though, but not the rest of the world.
But expansions always have some sort of class reworks, large or small. The meta now with covenants involved is not really going to apply anymore to whatever 10.0’s style will look like. They might even bake some of them into the classes, they do that sometimes, or create something new to give us instead.
I’ll be happy to see conduits go but it will to me probly feel like when we lost artifact weapons 
Not in Shadowlands so they don’t work anymore.

They simply stop working outside of Shadowlands, what else is there?
Won’t happen, it doubles down as a mobility boost skill which would be beneficial and a “must” for everyone going forward, they don’t do that. Borrowed power is killed off entirely post-expansion.
Excuse you?
Not every healer needs to have Revival. Tranq is a very strong CD and Swiftmend suffices as an “oh crap” button on the tank.
I don’t care how they do it, I just want them to go away forever. No more borrowed power, plox!

There’s a possibility they might baseline it as a talent somehow. Compiling the most popular from each class and just throwing it in the talent tree while the ones currently in the talent tree ends up being baseline, non-talent tree ability.
I imagine that after we leave the shadowlands the powers will simply go away. The source of the abilities exists in a whole other realm of existence, and I doubt the energies will transmit to us in the material/physical plane.
Also I hope the borrowed power thing goes away completely and never comes back unless its in a permanent progression system.

They’ll be zone restricted to pre-10.0 zones, just like azerite armor and essences.

We need an entirely new talent system that can grow with us and no more of this borrowed power bs.

When you get punted back down to earth you lose your abilities.
No longer required since the BBEG has been defeated.
Well when paladins have the kind of dps and shaman have an answer to every situation.
Why not? Swiftmends a descent oh crap but tranq takes some ramping up. Its not as effecrive as say monk revival. And monk also has really great aoe and st heals and a bubble. A aoe stun and an interrupt. Resto druid only has a talented into stun and a pushback. Hits take ramping up but in heave mass dmg tranq has a long CD.
Just saying burst fast mass healing is a weak spot that the NF aids in healing AND much needed dps resto has been weak in.
Though with 9.2 they are buffing druids a bit so there is that 
Yeah i am kinda ready to go back to simpler times.
Just feels like an all for nothing literal lore waste of time to go through all this and not bring back some self empowerment for the efforts of restoring balance to the shadowlands and killing the literal wow devil.
