I play disc priest and I love the fairy ability. It looks cool and it makes me really happy.

What suboptimal ability was too neat for you to pass up?

I don’t even know what’s optimal. Haven’t cared enough to look it up.

I don’t even know if my Covenant is bad for my class/spec nor do I care to look it up.

The slappy hand of Maldraxxas makes my DK happy.

im playing a suboptimal class (fury warrior) so i coulnt imagine picking a subobtimal covenant on top. there’s a point where shooting yourself in the foot might hinder you :wink:

on the plus side the optimal covenant makes the playstyle pretty cool so im happy.

Not sure if Night Fae is suboptimal for my WW Monk but I love having another ability to weave into my rotation instead of just another cool down.

I have a night fae paladin too. I really like the supporty auras, which is why I suppose I like the priest one too. Just wish they were a littl emore powerful/had longer uptime

From a personal standpoint the whole aura of the seasons is sooooooo flavorful, but sadly it’s really clunky during gameplay.

Still no regrets, I love nature themes so dam much, Ashenvale, Val’sharah, and Ardenweald to me are the best zones in the entire game.

You’re like me, Lock Venthyr, yes our covenant is worst choice currently, but to me it felt best choice for a Warlock aesthetically and thematically.

We will get buffs soon…I hope…

I loved eversong woods but they haven’t made something like it for a long time.

I went HPriest Kyrian and I hate it. Apparently it’s 2nd best I suppose. Owls are cute but I don’t like the ability lol. So back to Fae even though WoWhead says it’s the worst!

i was really excited when i first heard about blessings, but then i saw how long the recharge cd was between each blessing and it changed my covenant choice :frowning:

True, the more “Autumn” look is really not represented in game, as well as a wintery forest. I’m always in favor of more wood and forest zones.

16

Some classes don’t get the choice of getting to choose a covenant they like instead of one that’s optimal while still remaining viable. I can dream though.

I can’t say I blame you, I think the best thing we get out of being night fae as Rets is the soul shape movement.

I really went for the aesthetic choice rather then the meta one.

Minni Maxers Meta goat chasing chadterfs hate that I am Necrolord.

Although, Tina Turner says there are no more heroes.

Night Fae Paladin.
Not the absolute worst but not great either.

I like marking the tank before big pulls, between Fae Guardians, Shield & Vampiric Embrace gives me a lot to assist with.

Also like 90% of priests went Kyrian and that’s boring af.
