Urgh. I had hoped with the move away from emissaries we'd get rid of paragon reputation.
It just seems to me that the meta would become how many individual damaging attacks can you land each turn to take advantage of the buffed damage. Aoe is the most obvious to buff but things like build turret would basically do double damage which when based on a rng mechanic seems really lousy.In a way they are doubling down on the aoe vs sandstorm meta that's already as unhealthy for the game as the Graves wod pvp.
I just want to restate what others have already said I think the idea of not being able to summon pets from other covenants is a bad one
I also don't like the idea of not being able to summon pets from other covenants if you've earned them.
that is such a dumb way to implement the pets for the covenants. especially if it also extends to not being able to use them in battle, not just summoning them.
Eh, I'm ok with Covenant specific pets, but not with being unable to summon/use those pets unless you're with that Covenant. Class hall pets didn't work that way. I prefer obtaining them via specific Covenant, but being able to use them on any alt you wish.That's something Blizz needs to reconsider, especially if some of those pets become go-to pets for certain battles. Logging in one alt vs another because that alt's pet is better for X pet battle master feels bad.
