Remove Cov Abilities, Soulbinds and Conduits

You either should have made a much simpler one, or now that it’s too late, the best option is to just allow people to choose whatever they want

Its not too late to make it simple
They just need to chose 1 covenant ability and the soulbinds to go with it and paste it on to every covenant
spend the time make new skins for the abilities and you have a system that no longer has to deal with so much ballance

Imo, the issue with covenants is in fact not “souldbind procs” but the fact that system is over complicated, that just enforces more simming, not to mention that Blizzard seems to not tune properly this amount of systems

Sure, that’s a fair concern to have and while i don’t think we would agree on the solutions seeing Blizzard’s track record it would be naive to expect this system to work as intended.

Just don’t like seeing misleading threads, we often end up in situation such as this comment section on wowhead where half of the posters have no idea what they are talking about yet still complain about it…

Just check the soulbind calculator yourself.

I did. Turns out i was slightly off the mark, among all the 12 soulbinds there is only one random proc on heals and one increasing your mastery by 5%. Out of the… 80~100 soulbind perks in the system ?

All the other output perks are deterministic, and that’s my point. Presenting the soulbinds as a bunch of random procs just points toward it being another BFA RNG clown fiesta with 9000 random procs, which it’s not.

It has its own problems don’t get me wrong and i perfectly understand the suggestion of getting rid of the system but my post was about how you presented the issue, not the issue itself.

Just check the soulbind conduits yourself. How many conduits are X% procs rate

Not many, for example as a warlock:

• affliction 25%
• demonology 50%
• destruction 0%
• covenant 25%

But this seems to be on the high end, comparing to paladin

• holy: 0%
• prot: 0%
• retri: 25%
• covenant: 25%

yeap… I want TBC - wotlk - pandaria with dual-spec, transmog and lfg! lfg could be server based, not cross-realm. Now that would be great!

So in your opinion, Blizzard should focus on designing systems that incetivise you to do borring content instead of just designing good content that would keep you engaged without the need for an incetive ? Smart really smart.
