WOW Q&A
- Q: How do you choose between aesthetic of a covenant as opposed to min maxing the best covenant, especially for PvP?
-
- A: Lots of things can be tuned - we kind of took the outlook that choosing a covenant is like choosing a class - lots of viability but choice has to matter. The active abilities is one thing but the soulbinds, etc count. This should be taken as a whole but also there will be lots of tuning knobs. We will not hesitate to disable things in PvP (i.e. Curse of Doom in Classic).
