has anyone looked at these? after reading all of them they could of just scrapped soul binds completely and just had covenant abilities and the conduits. they are really uninspired and a bunch dont really do much of anything and the ones that do are only really ok for m+ and questing since a lot of them require killing stuff. a good chunk of them have 0 value in arena

I have not looked into the so value my opinion for what its worth. From what i have seen this far in wow i think the less PVE having relevance in wow pvp the better.
how is this a bad thing?
Im actually agreeing with valderpian, crazy
very very true but even in raiding they are kind of meh. i was just shocked they even spent the time to design them. but as one of the flagship features of the expansion they seem more underwhelming than islands
I still don’t know the difference between soulbind and conduit.
the soul binds are the little talent trees with generic < and i mean really generic> passives and a limited amount of slots to put conduits
This is a good thing.
the conduits are looking super strong. my whole point is the soul binds are so lackluster and have such little value they might as well not even be there
I dunno … im probably the only one but… I think shadowlands is gonna be BFA 2.0.
Legendaries/Covenants/Soulbinds basically same thing as Essences/Corruption/Traits.
feels sad man.
Didn’t they say that the essences/corruption systems were created to help amend the shortcomings of the azerite system? So they basically created systems to fix systems.
People gave them negative feedback on azerite traits in bfa beta and they still doubled down on it. People are telling them the same on covenants but they are still doubling down on it. I’m curious what systems they will have to introduce in later patches to overshadow covenants shortcomings.
Need a remind system so I can come back here and quote you in a year.

it could not possibly get more game breaking than corruptions alone. 96-108% from all sources, a dot that does 20% of a geared persons hp over a very short duration with 50%+ uptime, ineff doing super wonky things to CDs. ive read the legendaries, ive seen a lot of the conduits and they are strong but they arent corruption strong not by a long shot
Can’t you bookmark this thread?
Oh. Crap. yeah i didn’t realize that was a thing lol. Thank you!
you aren’t the only one
SL is following the same design philosophies as bfa
summed up perfectly “why should the better player be better all the time, shouldn’t customization make the worse player better sometimes?”
Conduit is like relics for artifact weapons, but will be unique. There is one for monks that will give BoK a 5% change to give a charge of roll
Borrowed power is kinda needed to make the game playable for some specs. Think about BfA without azerite/essences/corruptions, how will things die?
Do conduits go inside the soulbinds?
Yes sir
