Now that Shadowlands is pretty much over. What ended up being your favorite covenant? Based on story, their theme, their rewards, their covenant abilities, etc.
Did you go into the expansion with a covenant in mind and completely changed later on? Or were you pretty much right from the get go and happy with your first choice?
I personally love trolls and troll lore. So I went into shadowlands fully diving into the night fae to get some bwonsamdi and troll lore. The troll lore I got was fun and I liked it. But it seemed lacking. It left me wanting more troll lore. I honestly could care less about drust lore.
I ended up loving Necrolords though. From start to finish it was my favorite. I also enjoyed the true undead vibe it gave. It felt like the scourge or necromancy that traditional Warcraft is known for.
Venthyr turned out to be my favorite, which surprised me since I don’t really care for the vampire/gothic style. But the characters and covenant story completely won me over. I ended up liking Necrolord well enough because of the characters, but I never have liked the gross undead style. I expected to like Kyrian going in, but I was underwhelmed by the characters and story. I didn’t expect to be at all interested in Night Fae going in, and I still am pretty uninterested in Night Fae now.
It’s really hard for me to say. I put a toon in each covenant, so I experienced all the stories, etc.
Venthyr I think I have to say I like the best. Like the theme, like the humor, like the quests, like the ability of short teleport alot.
Necrolords I think will be my second favorite. Hated the intro via arena, hate the look of the zone, REALLY hated the look of the leather armor set, but the story was good, the quests in the zones were good and overall the play there is solid once I got the hang of a few things.
Night Fae: I had two different toons in that zone. loved the idea of it. Liked the prankster fae, liked bits of it. But for the life of me, I cannot say why I found that zone distasteful. I wanted to love it. I like the look of the place but I really struggled in getting through the quests again with my second toon. I think part of it were the tightly packed elite mobs that just slaughtered me and frustrated me at the start.
Kyrian: The Path of Ascension ‘game’ is horrific. I beat my head against a wall to win the first fight and after that, decided any rewards to be gained there were simply not worth the aggravation. Had some fun bits, love the teleport around the zone ability when you unlock it, made navigation really great. Love some of the quests, ‘meh’ on others, especially the buggy jumping quest.
Venthyr cuz I like how the leader of them insults anyone who doesnt join thinking it is a sign of weakness. But this toon is a necrolord. Venth is still my fav though.
