I believe you get to try each of the class spells as you level up through the zones. I don't think you get to try the signature ability (e.g. Soulshape) though, except for at the very end when you get a chance to review each Covenant before committing.

Nice, hopefully that'll help me decide.

Somewhat excited for Shadowlands. Had a really good time in Legion and coming off that into BFA deflated my enthusiasm and pretty much quit until Blizz said they're taking away the Brutosaur. Grinding that gold over the last year. Whelp, I'm ready for whatever SL brings and my bar is real low due to BFA.

Question as old as time, which class to play this expansion... Think I'll start with Enh Shaman, still not sure...

How early in the expansion do we pick covenant? I'm a human BM Hunter and a bit tempted by Night Fae but i hate that their mail transmog are literally robes, where is the pants :(

After you've completed the campaign for your first character and you get to play each covenant for every zone. For any subsequent play through you can get the same first time experience or you can pick your final covenant right from the start.

Hours away from launch and I still can't pick a class... I think I've narrowed it down to destro warlock and assassination rogue. Definitely wanna be Night Fae.

I think I am doing Subtlety rogue, seems better than the other 2 specs atm, plus night fae. I want a blink and even though I enjoyed assassination a ton in BFA, I think a change of pace is a good idea. I think assassination will end up in a good place though, balance-wise, cause all they need to do really is buff the damage by 10-15% according to ravenholdt ppl.

Is feral druid still shit in Shadowlands? It's been pretty terrible for the last 2-3 expansions, but it's still my favorite class.

Gonna Blood DK my way through PVE. Will probably change to Unholy when running dungeons, at least til I understand the mechanics. I love the easy mode of the DK tank in open world but get too anxious when tanking dungeons or raids until I've got the fights down and know how to skip mobs that aren't important.

I think I am going to go Frost DK. Took a break to play DH through BfA, but I am missing all of the cool DK abilities.

Balance Druid here, flip-flopping between Night Fae and Kyrian. I think I ultimately have to go with the fun, here, and pick NF. Those two buttons look a lot more fun to push than the Kyrian ones. The transmog for Leather is garbo all around, so that hasn't weighed into the decision at all. The NF mount looks great. The NF activity (the Soulgarden) looks like hot boring trash (ready to be disproven), which hurts, since all the other 3 covenant activities all seem more interesting by an order of magnitude. (Build-an-Abom, Kyrian roleplay boss fights, and DINNER PARTIES).

Alas.

Should get Druid to 50 before launch. That would just leave Mage and Hunter as the only classes I don't have at 50, but that will have to come later as I'm gonna level them on allied races for the armour sets (so no boost). Not like it's hard to level now though.

DK will be my main though and I'm strongly leaning towards Necrolords now. Not sure what to level after - possibly Priest (Venthyr), Shaman (Night Fae) and Monk (idk maybe Bastion)

Can't decide between my DK (I love tanking) and my Warlock (I just love Warlocks). It might as well be a coin toss - I've been going back and forth for the past few weeks and I still have no idea.

Help me, Era.

why is it appropriate to reference animal crossing in the title? can you customize a home now?

Smarm aside I realize that the patchwork ghoul look isn't everyones cup of tea, but I thought the Venthyr leather set was pretty cool too. It looks pretty rogue-appropriate, at least.

Ret Paladin to Kyrian, Beast Master Hunter to Night Fae, Subtltey Rogue to Venthyr, aaaand.. undecided on Maldraxxus. Death Knight would fit but seems too obvious.

Going Night Fae as a Death Knight, not just for meta reasons, but i tried out the cov quests in the beta & night fae is just hands down the best, their opening quest with the stage play is hilarious.
It's also nice to have a more relaxing area to play in WoW, the darker stuff can get tiring.

obvious isn't necessarily bad, especially if the transmog fits. I'm going Necrolord on my DK.

I like the Venthyr plate set a lot too though, so I'm not sure which char I'm gonna send that way. Maybe my Pally.

I'm going to commit to range this expansion. Marks hunter has been really fun, and I've never really liked that spec. They have some elements of old survival via some talents, so that will be cool I think.

After reading some wowhead stuff it looks like Kyrian or Night Fae will be top choices, but I'm going necrolord. The set is just too cool to me.

I do like how most people here are choose their covenents based on things like transmog and theme. Minuscule % damage difference be damned!

I love the mail necrolord set, yeah. I'm not planning to go necro on either my shaman or hunter but I know I'll eventually need to make the swap just to unlock the transmog. I assume 10.0 will relax covenant-specific transmog rules.
