Für welchen Pakt soll man sich in den Schattenlanden entscheiden? Eine Frage, die sich jeder Held Azeroths noch stellen muss. Leider ist die Antwort darauf gar nicht so einfach, da es viele verschiedene ausschlaggebende Kriterien für die Auswahl gibt. Welche Story findet man gut? Welches Rüstungsdesign? Welches Mount? Welches Sanktum? Und vor allem: welche Seelenbund ist gut und welche Paktfertigkeiten?
Um uns die Entscheidung noch sehr viel schwerer zu machen, gibt es offenbar sogar die Möglichkeiten die Paktfertigkeiten durch verschiedene Boni weiter zu verstärken. Folgend findet ihr eine ziemlich lange Liste an Modifizierungen, die durch die Seelenbande oder durch allerlei Freischaltungen sowie Gegenständen in Torghast aktiv werden. Mit dabei sind teilweise sehr mächtige Boni, die die Fertigkeiten auf jeden Fall in ein ganz anderes Licht setzen.
Beachtet hierbei, dass es bisher nur Modifizierungen für die Fähigkeiten der Kyrinaner aus der Bastion gibt.

So fühlt es sich mehr wie die Artefakte an, bei denen man sich auch erstmal auf eines festlegen musste und dann erstmal zum grinden verdammt war.
Wenn es dann für einige Leute der falsche Pakt ist und ich deswegen Random nicht mitgenommen werde, dann ist das deren Problem nicht meines ;)
ist wie aktuell: hab meine +15er durch alle und bin zufrieden.. selbst wenns mal nicht intime ist.. da nervts mehr 30min in der ini zu hocken und dann vorm Endboss abzubrechen weil einer leaved da die Zeit nicht langt..
Allerdings ärgerlich, wenn man wirklich ans Limit gehen will, ich zumindest bin aktuell an 18-20er Keys.
Wenn man dann im Hinterkopf hat: Dies wäre allerdings mit Pakt XY leichter, man hat aber den anderen gewählt weil man diesen auf Mythic Raid oder eine andere Spezialisierung des Charakters ausgerichtet hat... sehr ärgerlich.
Es geht mir hier nicht um random Gruppen a la "du hast nicht Pakt XY? Darfst nicht mit!", sondern mehr um eigene Stammgruppen die ans Limit gehen wollen. Aktuell skillt man die Talente/Essenzen/Azerit-Traits einfach um, je nach Dungeon oder Affix. Mit den Pakten wird das nicht so einfach..
Ich habe mir zumindest jetzt erstmal vorgenommen nicht auf die Fähigkeiten zu gucken bei der Paktwahl, ein Todesritter bei den Kyrianern oder den Nachtfae macht für mich z.B. einfach keinen Sinn. Mit meinem Main (DH) bin ich mir noch nicht so sicher ob er besser zu den Venthyr oder den Nekrolords passt, das wird sich dann noch zeigen.
