Shadowlands Beta Forum: Covenant System design flaws discussion (1,5k upvotes)

I hate that my own time invested and personal skill has been completely invalidated.

I completely understand the frustration around feeling optimal in spec/area of game play, but will covenants being easily changeable really invalidate all your time invested/personal skill?

The covenant of your choice will still be usable when you tank in M+ or go feral in PvP, it just won't be the most optimal pick. I don't know a ton about the druid side of things, but for example on my shaman I will pick the covenant that is best for ele in raids.

I will steal heal keys/in raid from time to time, and the fact that my covenant isn't optimal for that doesn't really faze me at the moment, because it will all really come down to tuning.
