[@ThatIsDebatable]

I actually just don't know how to build my character anymore, I could at least speculate with previous systems but there's just too much, it's overwhelming, so I'll have to resort to relying on guides and what other people have tested. This is not fun.

[@OakenTome]

As an immensely casual player and an outsider looking in on Shadowlands, Soulbinds look entirely unnecessary. If they could make a system like this that wasn’t tied to an expansion it could have some merit, but it’s just another expansion-specific system that will likely not be remembered fondly once it’s gone. Covenants are the same way in my opinion. Could have been so cool if they weren’t tied to anything mechanical, because then it inevitably ties x class to y covenant on numbers alone with no regard for theme (see: DKs and Ardenweald). The lack of content that isn’t expansion-specific bothers me; the levelling revamps are stellar, and classes/specs might be reworked occasionally (for better or for worse, often better imo), but otherwise there’s just not much. I will definitely be skipping SL for a variety of reasons, which was decided a long time ago, but the fact that we (relatively unsurprisingly) didn’t see the brilliance Blizzard comes across occasionally after the dumpster fire of BfA is disappointing and worrying for the health of the game.

[@Dmethodair]

You are "immensely casual". Play what you think looks good. You can't be casual and min max anyway because you will never have gear. Why worry about it?

[@fraggle5977]

This is my biggest critique, as well. The team has historically spent a ton of time on expansion specific features that get dropped (or re-invented) in the next. If it works, keep it. If it doesn't, rip it out.

[@andrewshandle]

Are you tanking or Fury/Arms? Necrolord is pretty garbage for most DPS specs for PvE, and I imagine Warrior would be there too. If you want to PvP as Arms it's a lot more interesting, but then your Banner is kind of garbage as a PvP ability. Necrolord is surprisingly disappointing for being the "warrior" covenant.

@@andrewshandle I want to play Fury and Prot but looking at all these systems is making me think I'd just be bad at both instead of decent at one. I was originally planning on going Venthyr, but I'd rather drink bleach than do that lame-ass party every week. Necro has more appealing lore, cosmetics, and weekly from what I've seen, plus I figured that since their Warrior ability got a slight buff they shouldn't be too bad.

[@andrewshandle]

@@BuzzzdLightyear So it really depends how much you want to min-max it. The first Soulbind gives you a 20% shield which won't add to DPS, but it has some value. The second Soulbind has 5% haste as well (although connected to a Endurance conduit), so if you are playing Prot and Fury you won't be horrible, you just won't be as good as some of the other Covenants. I'm also not sure if the actual abilities have been simmed yet, so if the Banner is better than the other three covenants, that difference might make up for it. You can't take just the Soulbinds in isolation. Like for Rogues, the Serrated Bone Spike is so good it doesn't matter that the Soulbinds themselves don't give DPS increases.

[@danlorett2184]

They're so ridiculously unbalanced. Kyrian gets their 2nd soulbind THREE WEEKS before Venthyr does (same for 3rd soulbind). Switching conduits has a WEEK cooldown so if you want to use the same soulbind for your main spec and offspec... well, tough shit, you can't. Somehow they made the game way more alt friendly than BFA... then made it INSANELY offspec unfriendly. To the point where it's MUCH better to spend the ~20 hours it takes to level an alt to max just so you can play your offspec without being horribly gimped.

[@DustMitch]

when it says 13 weeks what do they mean? are these time gated? has this ever been talked about? lol must have missed that.

[@jakewright1932]

Progression through the soulbind trees are time-gated. Each week you can earn a certain amount of Renown (a reputation with levels) the higher your Renown level, the deeper into the tree you can go. Given Renown has a weekly cap, everyone who keeps up with the weekly grind will unlock the final talent of each tree at week 13, 3 months into the patch cycle, at which point anyone in a half-decent raiding guild would have cleared Castle Nathria already.

Conduits are 'unlocked' through various activities, like essences, and added to a permanent library. There's just a week lockout on changing them.

With Social Butterfly you get 2.5% extra damage for yourself (50% of 5% Vers), and you get 2% extra damage from two other people (50% of 2% Ver x 2) with zero ramp up. Pelago's ability is great too, but it can drop off, Social Butterfly cannot (in a group environment at least). I haven't tested if Social Butterfly stacks yet, if it does and you have 3 people with it, you might get some crazy numbers.

Had a 42 minute drive to do, looked and saw a 42 minute preach video! Perfect! It's been like 8 years of you filling my life with entertainment, thank you very much mike!

[@Wodo900]

Why couldnt blizz just do a simple like. pick this soulbind and get 1% perma haste or take the DPS conduit. Get 1% perma vers or defensive conduit. Just so much easier to balance across all of the Covs instead of making some completely useless.

[@TheATFshotmyGerbil]

So my bags are gunna be filled with different soulbinds. Lovely. I really enjoyed it with corruption gear.

[@PaulJaworski]

Plague Deviser is an insanely good Soulbind for certain specs. Channeling Fleshcraft over humanoids (which are pretty easy to find in almost any dungeon) grants you 342 mastery.

As someone who genuinely wants to play Night Fae for the aesthetics, I adored this commentary

[@xenonecromera]

The Legion system was FINE. It just needed tweaking here and there. How can they get it more or less right one expansion then completely shit the bed the next 2 expansions for no good reason?

[@Bla_814]

Maybe I'm weird but i think souldbinds sound kinda fun :O

[@SttravagaNZza]

They are, they are just terribly balanced, if at all.

[@TacBlades]

Yes i am looking forward to it. But i also like unbalanced game and unoptimised gameplay because it makes things more interesting instead of all carbon copies fire mage clones.

"This is not going live...no way this is going live" well well well how the turn has tabled

[@markuslc1888]

would ve been easier to follow all the trees while seeing them instead of rdm footage, just feedback

[@scytha3721]

Tool tips and or showing the path would've been great. A bit hard to keep track of just listening.

[@franktaylor3692]

42 minutes Preach?! I have to work my man!

[@fraggle5977]

Perhaps the project managers at Acti Blizz should do a risk assessment on the release of this expansion. I feel like a flopped expansion could really damage the health of the game even further.

[@Vartence]

did they nerf the soulbinds after they made this video? im seeing another numbers on wowhead to the ones they say.. for example the 20% extra crit when you hit a target before they hit you on the night fae soulbind on wowhead its only a 10% extra crit

[@andrewshandle]

I'm looking at Wowhead right now and "First Strike" on Korayn is 20% Crit for 10 seconds.

[@jakewright1932]

I see 20% as well, 10 secs.

[@Vartence]

​@@andrewshandle oh yea i figured it out... i was on the PTR section of wowhead instead of the beta section of wowhead... now why the ptr section has soulbinds? no idea lol
