  1. Perfect vid its exactly where i am.
    I will only play frost or fire, prefer frost. Mainly raid but also pushing m+ keys. I only want one covenant for the expansion (hopefully).
    I think overall i will go nightfae, i prefer the asthetic, and considering we will be there for a few years it has to be a place i enjoy.

    The only thing that could push me venthyr is if it was significantly better for all scenarios, but i guess it would be nerfed in that case.

  2. I only Play Arcane Mage I don't multi Spec, Would Kyrian not be better further down the road for Arcane? I know it scales with Mastery and later on the Conduit for Radiant Spark is really good. Or is Night Fae Cool Down to OP with Arcane Power and Touch of the Magi?

  3. I consider Venthyr Frost to be stronger in PvP than Kyrian Frost. Also Frost (only playing frost) I think its better to have a button that gives you 3 B.Freezes than to reduce F.Orb , Blizzard and RoP cd. Personally I think I am going to go Venthyr Frost main , as it seems the most logical choice to me only wanting to play frost at least for the first tier. I am either between Venthyr Frost or respecing to shadow since it looks so good and frost keeps getting and getting nerfed.

  4. I feel like mages are the Hardest to know what to pick …

    I mean they all sims quite close at some point but it feel like frost got hit SO hard … that omg should I pick NF and be safe even tho I'll lose quite a bite of single but be able to SWITCH spec if needed without suffering …

    That really really hard still to pick and here come the NF random nerf XD

  5. Overall I'm really frustrated about this, I dont like the meta covenants. I mostly play arcane but not way am I going fairy, I wanted necrolord as I believe this covenant has the best aesthetic but I dont want to be laughed at going into m+ or raiding. Also I feel being tied into one spec for the sake of the meta is awful for players wanting a break from their current rotation.

    Anyone else feeling my pain?
