Here is to hoping they tune/balance the abilities out a tad bit so it brings them closer together in terms of usefulness.

As if 5 separate zones that require a central transfer station didn't slow things down enough, there's only a handful of flight points in each zone. The zones are then packed with fast respawning mobs, so it takes time to fight to an objective, and there's no flight whistle so it's fight back out again. Then, if all that slowing down wasn't enough, the terrain is often so up and down or convoluted that if you're up, you need to be down and vice versa, especially in Revendreth. Finally, the icing on the delay cake is lag, lag, lag and more lag. It's hard to believe we're 21 years into the 21st century when it takes 20 seconds or more to farm a node, let alone fighting something. Someone in chat said they were making an official complaint to the Ministry of Lagriculture. If all that isn't slow enough for you, then the faction tagging that was introduced for BfA is still there, so get used to masses of the opposite faction dominating a WQ making it take much longer to complete. For me there's too much to hate and not much to like. The new barber shop options get a like, but most of the rest is a chore or worse.

And I am still sad that you can't upgrade your crafted gear to normal raid level anymore. That should be an option, expensive but an option.

I'm a priest main and here's my take on the covenant abilities. - Kyrian: powerful BUT replaces a filler spell of yours. Since Shadow needs to keep up dots and Disc needs to have atonement, messes up my rotation, so it's good for Holy at best. Signature healing is not really needed with 2 heal specs, dispels and Shadow's leech. Pass. - Night Fae: as you said the buffs are too minor on the class ability. Signature is a speed buff I direly need, but is dispelled if I cast a single spell. Pass. - Venthyr: Strong burst damage, reverses dps and healing. Pretty fun, but singletarget only. Too bad. Signature lets me teleport somewhere close by. Very useful, but has a cast time however, so can't move around in a pinch. Overall decent, a nice edge mostly in PvP. - Necrolord: powerful dots for enemies, burst heal for allies. Has a travel time, but is instant and has a very good effect for all specs. Signature gives me a channeled shield. No time mostly to channel it in a prolonged fight, but still okayish and helps survival. Overall very good for most situations. So I went necrolord for its overall superiority. 😃
@sylvinus98hun3 жыл бұрын
I don't much play disc, more leaning towards shadow or holy, but I'm sure that the kyrian ability messes up multidotting for shadow. Dunno how much it affects atonement though. It was awkward for me to use so picked the easily usable unholy nova 😂

I would say the ”universal” choice depends on what healer spec you prefer, since Shadow adapts pretty well Bc if you go more Disc, Venthyr ability is universally the best pic But if you lean to Holy, Necro is going to be more universally useful
@sylvinus98hun3 жыл бұрын
Depends on the skill of the player as well, while Nova is easy to use, you need to plan ahead for Mindgames and the ascension. One wrong move and someone can die. Basically this is roughly the correct usage: -Kyrian: strong burst AoE and ST, but needs planning (both raid and M+ when comfy) -Necro: weaker burst AoE and ST but easy to use and more room for mistakes (progression, or maybe as a casual) -Venthyr: burst ST with reverse heal and dps, unique in this aspect (mostly ST raids, M+ IF there are a lot of very dangerous or annoying mobs, but one by one in trash packs, and obviously PvP). More situational, but very short CD so liberally usable. - Night Fae: underwhelming for all content.
@nolikita3 жыл бұрын
@@sylvinus98hun To be completely honest, I think Venthyr ability is not only the most universal, but also the easiest to use :D Because it's a ridiculous burst of healing with just a simple one cast, and if you play a Disc priest, you already know that for your full dps rotation people should have atonements on either way

My favorite is Necrotic Wake. It's such a challenging dungeon but there's so many opportunities for skips and tests of skill and awareness that will make this a mainstay dungeon in terms of discoveries. It feels like everytime I run this dungeon I learn a new path, a new skip or a new strat every run that can only be done with certain classes in certain covenants, it's kinda crazy. My least favorite is Spires of Ascension BY FAR. The trash between the 1st and 2nd boss feels like a whole dungeon itself and then the 2, 3rd and 4th bosses are all within spitting distances of each other. The last boss is also stupidly frustratingly involved and really relies on a full team that knows what they are doing making this just an absolute pain in PUGs and it's not an easy task to explain to them to hide in the bubble when it explodes and you have to collect orbs and you have to throw a skillshot at a moving target and you have to avoid the patches on the ground or you get a crazy stacking dot. Runner up goes to Sanguine Depths exclusively for the final gauntlet with Kaal and how tiny her platform is. I have a personal hatred for bosses that kill you by knocking you off platforms. The camera also can get super uncomfortable in that boss fight and it being a boss fight that ends after like 20% always feels unsatisfying as hell. I've only done the Necrolord and Night Fae covenant campaigns and I have to say [POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR THE NECROLORD CAMPAIGN] I originally thought Maldraxxus was going to be amazing because the introduction to the zone with the Theater of Pain and how they are all stupid fight sexual idiots was hilarious to me but then they started getting into politics and betrayals and idk all 5 of the Margraves are dead by the end of the campaign and I thought they were kinda neat but they just didn't do anything with them even though literally every character talks about their margrave like they are the literal biggest chads ever but you just don't really get to see it. I mean the Necrolord story is very clearly unfinished because the story is just leading up to unifying Maldraxxus just like Daddy Primus would have wanted it with there being literally nothing tying the Runecarver and the Primus together even though they are very clearly the exact same person and it's not even a little secret, they both look the same, they both share the same voice actor and they are both master runecrafters and there is only 1 runecrafter as good as the Primus in existence and there's 1 other guy who is just as good but where is the Primus I wonder HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Even finishing the campaign it feels very clearly unfinished. The Night Fae one is sick though, the story is great, there's clearly more to this story but you don't feel as cuck blocked as you do with the Necrolord one and almost every campaign mission with the Night Fae one feels cool and fun with introducing new lore and reintroducing old characters that you just don't get with the Necrolord one beyond the new Baron of the House of Rituals. Everything about the level 60 Night Fae campaign is great 100% recommend levelling a Night Fae. Also having all those secret Form Shift shapes from all these different methods and there being more in the game's code to be released at a later date just makes this easily one of the most fun covenants for me so far. There will probably even be a secret form shape released later on with substantial hints that there already is one in the game right now just super hidden. This one so far is the only one I recommend going out of your way to level an alt to play this campaign and luckily for you it feels like half the specs in the game's best covenant is Night Fae.

Or just do an endless mode that gives loot milestones as you progress. For example. Completing 25 layers had a chance to drop 190 gear 50 layers 200 gear so on and so forth. I’m sure there’s a way to make that reasonable and balance it. People enjoy the powers, but it seems like a drag every week cuz all you get is soul ash.

@lordundeadrat3 жыл бұрын
Gotta say. I agree with the covenants and their abilities not lining up well. As a paladin I basically have to take Kyrian and that works lore wise. But i don't really get the choice if I'd disagreed. Divine Toll is just way too powerful to ignore. I think Torgast is a mixed bag really. It seems really hard on DPS players and almost too easy for tanks. Survivability in twisting halls (corridors? i forget) becomes a real issue by late floors. I tend to go in there as a healer with a few other people. Let me tell ya, Damage being dealt to DPS classes is unfair no matter what powers they pick. Where as my tank friend can handle almost anything thrown at him in huge numbers. It just feels really unbalanced right now. The one thing I have to disagree heavily with is the story. You ever play a little indie title called "Lords of Xulama"? In that game the main antagonist has every reason to tell the protagonist the big secret going on. Every reason to try to stop him by way of reasoning. But he just doesn't. He stands there posturing and berating the hero for not understanding. All to protect this big reveal they have at the end. That's what's happening in Shadowlands. The Kyrian storyline is all I've played through so far. But I can't ignore all the times the Forsworn have gone on about how I'm being manipulated and lied too. About what? Who knows. I know they're mad about their memories. But the process was explained strait forward enough at first. Ditch the memories to prevent moral conflict in the accended. The implication then is that the explanation was false. How? Why? For who's benefit? How do I make a good judgment with so little information? No body knows. The story expects me to just except that I'm defending the status quo. But never explaining why or if that's even a good idea. All while the enemy has every reason to just spill it out for me. Same goes for Windrunner. All she does is talk about how she's gonna change a broken system. She's trying to convert Anduin. But want's him to do it site unseen for some reason. That's not how you do it. The bad guy should always act rationally. And if you can't get the story to do that because you're hiding something. Then it's not something worth hiding. It's bad writing all around. I'd give it a 5/10 because it has good moments. But it's built on a lousy foundation overall. My paladin isn't a robot that follows orders without question. I need to know if what I'm doing is a good choice. Even if it turns out to be wrong in the end. Right now it's just a nebulous concept that the Status Quo is good.

Until denathrius turned against them, venthyr society was actually rather equal.

Instead they made everything tell don't show, they kept telling us he was the mastermind behind everything, but when you see him in-game he's just "for the evulz". No development, no backstory to speak of, no motivations, no personality at all. I was actually expecting them to say Zovaal was evil, but he was just a pawn and being used by Denathrius for his own ends, with Denathrius behind the true mastermind behind everything. THAT I would've believed. But instead of that, we got Dollar Store Thanos. And they destroyed a bunch of good lore in the process.

Well, it makes sense that we get to see some themes of cosmic horror, Blizzard said they want to explore the cosmos and various forces in it, those portrayed in the cosmic chart in Chronicles, it's clear that we and Azeroth are just a smaller piece in the grand game of the universe that has been going on for eons, we can see it with the Void and Light attacking Shadowlands, Shadowlands fighting the Burning Legion, Legion fighting the Light, there is a constant struggle of powers greater than us and we're caught up in middle of it, the only thing making us somehow important in this war is us being the main characters and uniqueness of Azeroth

I really wish they didn't nerf Disc Priest for dungeons and just left it how it was in BFA with attonement healing being really good. Was most fun I've had in WoW since WotLK playing a class, and I literally leveled a priest from 1 to 60 for Horde to play with people only to be disappointed that they're absolutely trash in dungeons

Minus the bug where some of the Abom's inturrupt your channeled spells by forcing your character to emote... The Ride abom service, no fall damage (Holy cow revendrath) no dazing has been the best decision I made. But seriously just jumping off a building not relying on gliders or elevators makes revendrath bearable.

Also ince you mention it before being your main, I'd love to see a video maybe on tips and tricks for Disc Priest. Like what add-ons for healing or in general used, etc.. even a history of disc priest would be cool too.

I absolutely agree with your opinion on how reviewers never rate anything 10/10. What's the point of having the scale go up to 10 if they never actually use the best grade. And don't even get me started on when I see a game rated 9,8/10. Bloody chickens.

@Saltantia3 жыл бұрын
Just wanna mention my opinion to some points: 1) Covenants: I really like the system, but the difference between excellent and totally awful is in case of some classes a catastrophy. Hunter for example. You need to play the Flowerpowerguys. There's no other covenant ability with that much of an impact. Vengeance DH aswell - 9/10 cases, you chose the Gayguys. Maybe Venthyr, after the MDI now, because the community realizes that the brand of them is good aswell. Always talking with a m+ perspective btw, don't have a clue about pvp, I did pvp the last time for the Pandaria-cloak. The Soulbind-System I really like because it's that simple. Choosing a guy, choosing the abilities and it's done. What I don't like is the way of acquiring those "Abilities". It's so annoying that I nearly have all WW and MW-Conduits on 184 and higher and my main spec - Brewmaster is behind. This should be bound on the lootspecialization. The campaigns I really like, exspect of the Ardenwield one, because it's no consistancy in the campaign. Different stories in my opinion, the Bwonsamdi one is of course the shining star of that chaos. 2) Zones and Quests: Well, all zones are really lovely designed but I really hat the Ardenwield-Quests. It's horribly boring and I thought sometimes, it will never end. I was Lv. 60 on my Main when I finished the first half of the area. No matter what, I really love Maldraxxus, i love this undead theme with liches, blobby bastards, constructs and the questdesign is just great. With my Shadow, I will clearly get Necro. Revendreth is fun aswell, when I first heard the voice of Denathrius, I was asking me if he has a stick in his ass, but well, the story was well, but sometimes a bit odd. But I really like the Monk-Cov.-ability by the way and the theme of that zone, and my brewmaster is part of the venthyr. Maybe I'm the only one in the world cause nearly everyone chooses the "best" one, as the pro's do. 3) Dungeons: I really like all the dungeons, there's no bad one, as u said aswell. The "worst" dungeons are those of the bastion for me, because I don't like that "follow the dumb girl" or "we are all good and the path and the path and the path". It's too peaceful sometimes, the quests are like talking the whole time as the greek philosophers did compared to Maldraxxus, where you have "kill that guy". But the bosses are all interesting and have good mechanics, nothing to blame about. 4) the finite progression-system: I like it. Just seeing an end sometimes is great and you don't get that fast annoyed apart from the 1k anima, when you get 35 anima for an instance, but well, it's fine. 5) Loot: Well, you said it. It sucks.

I went Necrolord. Maldraxxus wasn't even on my radar until the questing....getting thrown into a gladiator pit, I was like....ok, and then being a pally, the Ashbringer himself shows up? At that point I felt like I had to.

I play an Orc Fury Warrior, and the moment they announced the covenants I knew I was going for Necrolords. I think they're the coolest, the armor looks the best, and I'm most interested about them. AAAAAAAAAAAAAND their warrior ability is absolute garbage. Only 6% of all fury warriors chose Necrolord. They really messed up the point of choosing a covenant that you LIKE and WANT.

I'm also a priest main, but my first choice covenant, Bastion, has a pretty good ability, but I share your consternation with mission table troops. Boon of the Ascended does good damage and healing, the cooldown is a bit long, but it can really solve an AoE problem if you are judicious with employing it.

@Marconius63 жыл бұрын
The questing would be good... if they made 4 fully fledged zones. Which they didn't, they made one quest chain for each, which doesn't even cover half the zone; it's also tied to the overall campaign, so you don't get one zone with a full story of its own. And once that's done, you're just doing world quests the entire time.
