Ret Paladins - Which Covenant are you rolling with?

[Celvira]

Also something to remember, the covenant abilities will likely have secondary abilities attached to them at some point. Things like Door of Shadows becoming an instant cast, Door of Shadows providing a temp speed buff after teleporting, activating Avenging Wrath giving a free Divine Toll, ect.

Rumor is they are tied to legendaries, but here is the confirmed list so far - https://shadowlands.wowhead.com/news...ws-post-311922

Open Doors for Door of Shadows is pretty sexy

[Celvira]

New alpha build...

New Kyrian Covenant Ability - 300% speed boost

does this change the meta for Ret?

This is VERY likely a spell effect tied to a quest or item. A 300% speed boost for 10 seconds would be flat out broken.

wouldnt be broken if the other classes get a speedboost of 350% for 15 seconds

Kyrian best aesthetics. Like the zone, like the faction, like the mogs, like the idea of finishing Uther's storyline and lastly the Covenant ability isn't trash. It's good in M+ and shit at everything else so I'll just take it.

[Ermelloth]

Venthyr. No choice if you want to PvP.

[apelsinjuice]

I love kyrian artstyle with the plate mog for a retri paladin but the abiltiy is only good in m+ and zero mobility compared to venthyr/night fae. Playing kyrian in raid will give you nothing at all in most fights

[Rootsbum]

Venthyr because Im sick of being in a wheelchair

[ThiagoTorres]

Well, i was thinking in venthyr so far till i saw that is a castable ability. IDK if i still goes venthyr now, probably night fae

At this point its just impossible not to choose Venthyr...

[Gasparde]

The abilities all seem horribly underwhelming.
AoE Judgement? Whoop dee doo, great fun.
Proc a free DS with a TV every now and then? Oh geez, exciting.
Those fucking auras? Can't wait to be told to sit on 5 HP for 2 minutes to get the actual DPS classes to deal more damage.

The only thing that seems 'somewhat' enjoyable is super-Consecration that'll allow you to use like 4 HoWs every 2 minutes... and even that gets me about as hard as a 2-days old double Whopper.

Last i checked, blessing of seasons doesnt cost HP. It's just a GCD.
But, i haven't played the alpha. I don't know if we have free GCD's for it.

My thoughts summed up pretty good. Cant see anything atm but choosing the port from venthyr, just because im sick of the wheelchair.

Gonna be interesting to see how much mobility they give other classes to make us feel like crap again ^^

Well, every other class gets the mobility they already have + Venthir on to of that. You're gonna be more mobile than you are now, but comparatively you're still gonna be a wheelchair.

[Stormdash]

Probably Kyrian because it's that good even for off-spec Prot. Maybe venthyr, but meh.

[Tyze]

The one with the highest numbers unfortunately

[Ryuji]

I mentioned Kyrian before cause dat aesthetic, but actually I've always loved cleave/aoe situations in WoW on most classes. So the 5 HP gain from slinging 5 judgements works out nicely for me. That and the Avenger's Shield spam or a Glimmer set up with the 5 Holy Shocks. Kinda meh on ST but ah well.

[Drazo]

Aesthetically I like Venthyr the most. Thematically though the Kyrians fit the paladin best. Ability wise I probably like Divine Toll better than Ashen Hallow but I prefer the mobility I get with the Venthyr ability. Its is definitely a toss up between the two. Also I have to see how the Soulbinds turn out.

I wish we could just pick the ability we want separately from the covenant aesthetics. They could have given multiple visual variances for each ability depending on the coventant you picked.

[Good ol Stroggylos]

Funny how we are playing an mmorpg and we select covenants for a percantile of output or some niche utility
