All other covenants: some form of mild optimization reward but with half the NPCs being passive aggressively snide towards you. Everything looks cool but everyone is kind of dickish.

Everything looks horrible but everyone loves everything.
@@joshuakim5240 I wanted to say Sir Zorba is accurate same with you Josh, but after reading you description of Maldraxxus I realized something. So long story short I made mention to a friend of mine that is really into warhammer and got me into it too but I mentioned to him some of the Maldraxxi specifically the abominations and he told me it sounds like ya Boi Papa Nurgle and if you were to search Nurgle he looks like a rated r maldraxxi. But after your description I realized something Josh, Maldraxxus is just the World of Warcraft version of Nurgle’s Garden (his realm) because while everyone is looks like hell and is in constant conflict they’re all having a good time. Thanks Josh I now love being a Necrolord even more now
@@L1qu1d-2qu1d Plot Twist: Maldraxxus is just the ancient medieval version of Nurgle's domain and some of these bois are still around and teaching Plague Marines the happy history of super chill decay.
I actually picked nightfae. I looked for a class that has BiS nightfae (druid) and went with it and I am not a furry. I just love the glowing forest vibe, it reminds me of the avatar film's forest (the alien cgi one)
Calling something "furry" is pretty much a joke at this point, I can't take anyone seriously when they try to claim anything remotely animal-like is furry. There's something wrong with them, like they're repressing something. Its gotta be, I don't see how they think people wearing fursuits and people playing an animal in-game is the same thing if their thinking process is normal. The next evolution of this is associating idioms with furries, like lone wolf, or busy as a bee.
@@SquaulDuNeant What? Zootopia and playing a character that can transform into an animal are far removed from each other, and if you think they're not, you're a closeted furry huffing copium.
Funnily enough, I was picking covenants depending on which were closer to the characters' class I did want to use. My main was Worgen DK, so went for Necrolord, eventually I would go for Venthyr with Blood Elf DH, Night Fae with Draenei Shaman and Kyrian with Goblin Priest. But I left WoW few months after Shadowlands release, so...
I actually really like Ardenweald, and no I’m not a furry. I just really like the whimsical feeling it gives off, it feels very magical. The Venthyr are so cool, I will agree with that.
I and most of my friends hated choosing one of the two possible sides in BC because certain classes HAD to choose one, even if they didn’t like it. I was really worried when I found out shadow lands had four. Just like BC, there are benefits depending on your class, that make one of the four BIS. The idea of choice is not real. It’s too bad they couldn’t even out the bonuses so you could pick the Covenant you wanted to play.
Considering the character models, I have a hard time believing anything can be described as "hawt" in that game. But I guess if we're talking comparatively between the factions, it makes sense... but it's not saying much when the kyrian's competition for aesthetics is some nobby-ass old vampires, trees/ferries, or zombies.
*_" Bolvar is a joke. "_* Well yes but so is Sylvannas and her entire plot especially now that there is this cringe wannabe-attempt of an attempt of hinting for a redemption ark. WON'T BE ACCEPTED.
To be honest its not like you're missing on some high quality writing or super engaging campaign no matter what you pick. I'd say minmaxing is the correct choice unless you want a transmog/mount.
I play Night Fae because they gave me my god damn dragon back. Also, it's the only covenant that actively contributes to Azeroth's defense by rezzing our Ancients, so that's bonus points.
This is the truth: My Paladin is Kyrian My Druid is Nightfae My Mage is Venthyr My Warlock is Necrolord Why? Because it makes the most sense for the toons.
There exists a 1% of Night Fae players who play Night Fae for the Fae mounts and armor and because they love the way Ardenweald looks. That 1% is me. I love Ardenwealds design and I totally love the way the armor and mounts look.
Well, then there are people like me who just pick Covenants based on what would identify best with my character. Example: Lightforged Draenei Paladin = Kyrian Worgen Warrior = Nightfae Draenei Dead Knight = Necrolords Worgen Dead Knight = Ventyr
I’m literally tempted to get that Kyrian dakimakura(body pillow) just because the artwork is lovely! But of course, I’m sure that daki doesn’t exist for real... unless......
Both are boring AF. Maldraxxus is literally like another dessert/silithus zone from vanilla with different colours, the design is plain boring. Ardenweald, pretty much was like leveling on Night elfs zone but reworked. like i know it is supposed to be a forest, but, many other things could have been added, specially when most texture effects and good designs are put on the sky lol.
I can't tell if Asmongold is kidding or not when he says that Maldraxxus is the most boring covenant. I hope he's not, because my DK is a Necrolord and I LOVE it! Walking around the Seat of the Primus while everyone around you gets ready for war, creating custom abominations to bolster your forces, dropping from a Necropolis as a shortcut for questing. They even have a giant three-headed dog as a pet. There is a World Quest where you PLAY BALL WITH YOUR GIANT THREE-HEADED PET WAR DOG! If that doesn't guarantee best covenant, I don't know what will.
Covenants I rank. 1.Revendreth- because I've said the Venthyr could be a allied race one day 2.Ardenweald- because I've said the Sylvar could be a allied race one day 3.Bastion- because its stereotypical heaven 4.Maldraxxus- because the eastern plaguelands and Northrend had a baby.
Off topic but thank you for actually putting the orignal video in the description. Far too many YTers critique or react too video's without even bothing to link them. Cheers from Britland.
Anyone else feels like Maldraxxus should be the obvious choice for their warrior?But you gotta either be a furry, simp for Kirians or look at crackhead vampires
I actually like Night Fae because of the fact that it gives some hints for the Lore and that it explains more about the Drust as well as how Ardenweald works.
@@desaylumproduction6615No, for what, I am just saying that some people actually enjoy Ardenweald and are not furries, if someone says that 20% of the people who join Ardenweald are Furries then they would probably say that everyone who plays as a shaman or druid is a furry because of the fact that they are able to turn into animals (shaman turns into spirit wolf). I would just like people to stop assuming stupid stuff just because they either don't like something or just want to complain for no actual reason.
I didn't do that, lol. I joined the Kyrian as an affliction lock, and got flamed for not having ardenweald for the burn. Idk, I really liked that ability, so I kept it.
Bolvar becomming the lichking was total fucking bullshit to start with, i hoped from the first moment he would get killed , what syl pulled she would never have been able to do if arthas was still king
I'm a holy paladin who went Venthyr so I could attend tea parties and stare at girls in corsets. Also I want my paladin to look as Hellish as possible.
Maldraxxus, the literal place where some of the best warriors end up..is boring? He must be saying that because he sucks then right? Or is he secretly a furry?
Picking Kyrian is like picking Human in any RPG. Enough said. Venthyr is edge and thats cringe but if you embrace that cringe, then its kinda okay. Necrolords is just the Scourge and we've had that since Warcraft 3. Night Fae had the potential to be cool if all of it were just the battle hardend Wild Hunt guys, but it wasent, so they werent.
Venthyr is the “coolest” yet it’s last campaign mission is literally helping us Necrolords with our last mission. Coolest covenant folks
someone has to help the people who need help....
@@Ts0usermax ok period drinking ghouls. Dont go in the sun for too long. Venthyr people are literally drug addicts who never go out.
I mean the point was reestablishing the reputation and i think the best way is to help the others
Hey at least they're not Night Fae.
We spent almost all of it dealing with the freak BFA woodbois.
The damn fairies are lucky it's BIS for Hunters.
What do you need help for if you’re so good?
The twitchchat should write the next expansion script as well.
So it's just Wrath but the Worgen get eradicated?
Still better than what Blizzard do
The nixxiom video has showed us why that’s a bad idea giving Asmongold’s chat that kind of power
I'll probably end with a threesome between Yrel, Zekhan and Tyrande (still better than most of Blizzard's output).

man I've missed these
I also picked Night Fae, but I was like whatever, they have a gap closer for warlock and a strong passive after casting covenant spell.
I picked necrolord from the start, marileth imo is the best one to pick for M+ the 2Min extra buffs give me so much more dmg

This was so good
Sylvanas is basically getting the same treatment as the smurfs from Warhammer 40k her skin color even matches xD
