Will you pick Kyrian at launch because that's the best covenant for most specs?

[ihate2beapessimist]

Considering the "best" will change multiple times through the expansion it wont matter.

[Unholyground]

Nope, I will pick Kyrian at launch because they're the coolest looking, and most original Covenant! Angels rule!





Venthyr are a close second.

Plus there is a dark variation the the wings that are in the game files which would rock on my DK haha.

i stopped caring about min - maxing at the end of mop so me and my wife will just level pretty slowly in ardenveald.

don't even care about the possible benefits etc.

[Rustedsaint]

They nerfing Kyrian according to wowhead, https://www.wowhead.com/news=319214/...eirmir-changes

Also nerfing necros too, which is a moot point cause I was gonna go vampires on my forsaken sp who’s quite dapper.

[Sunslayer]

I will choose Kyrian as Enhancement Shaman due to Vesper totem being the only "real" option. As a side note, I have absolute no wish to be Kyrian. Sucks to be me?

What does it have to do with min/maxing? Most Covenant abilities are awful while some are really good for certain specs. I dont want to play 2 years gimping myself to that degree. We arent talking small amounts or "1%". Covenant abilities are important to anyone doing relevant content not just "Mysthic Raiders".

Aaaand it was nerfed, just as everyone predicted.

[arandomuser]

it was kind of too good
because most soulbinds only have like 1 good output ability and pelagos had 2

Did you just say most original...for kyrian ? Perspective man

[Kereberus]

Nah. I won't let 1% DPS difference dictate my choice. Sorry

[Kyphael]

Are they the most original? Literal angels in a heaven-like afterlife. Wouldn't call that very original.

Well, original in WoW. All the other covenants have creatures we've seen like woodland creatures, more undead, vampires, etc.

Not sure how they are any less original than the other 3.
We get greco-roman angels, cheap scourge rip-off, druidic fairies, gothic vampires. They are all about as uncreative as it gets. If you try to excuse your personal preference by something like "bland" or "original" you are just deluding yourself. Just be honest with yourself and admit that you want to be an endglord tween vamp, an 8-year old's idea of what a metal cover should look like or you like fairies, no shame in that.

Wow doesnt have angels and greek themes?

Ever seen the titans?

All right, I'm biased because I grew up exposed to Greek myth and angels. There!

[Moonrage]

I'd say fairies and vampires are more original to WoW than angels. We've had Val'kyr since WotLK and spirit healers since Classic.

The only vampire like creatures we've seen so far are the San'layn and those pirates in Stormheim. The Night Fae look like the purple emerald dream, but I do think this is the first time they do anything with fairies or fairy like creatures.

[Pigglix]

I was hyped AF for kyrian because of the wings... but that changed when i saw they arent attached to your character back..it's...miserable thing that floats behind your character back...ew..

Only thing that keeps me interested on this covenant, as hunter so far, is the resonating arrow and weapon mog

Someone's new to the idea that fantasy takes from fantasy it seems.

We have had Mal'ganis since wc3 bro.
Also wc3 night elf had: Wisps, faerie dragons and dryads.

There is no salt at all, I just find it weird how fixated some people are on shitting on one of 4 covenants when they all are fairly generic. I'd never claim that angels is an original concept, but I certainly don't think vampires are either, even in WoW the concept is around since wrath at least. With the exception of the bug-eyed fairies, of which there are like 5 in all of ardenweald, all the other inhabitants are just a reimagining of the usual satyrs, centaurs and nymphs, most of which have been around since vanilla. Maldraxxus is just flat out the scourge, thats also around since vanilla, technically WC3.

But maybe I hit a nerve with you, since the talk about sodium levels usually means you've hit someone where it hurts .

Yea same here.. when I saw the wings I was dissapointed. I mean its literally some kind of frame attached to your back with short towel in the shape of wings that only move slightly when jumping. Its bad.

Venthyr have a blood stone heartstone toy that makes you dissapear in blood while a sinstone is circeling around you. I always wanted to get some kind of san layn flight and this is pretty darn close.
