Comment by SoulSoBreezyshocking that things change from build to buildComment by LyneleDon't nerf it, just delete it in m+
easy fixComment by AilwufulDon't nerf it, just delete it in m+
easy fixComment by Varsico"Massively Nerfed in Shadowlands", as opposed to what?

Edit: Seems like you missed the "Beta Build X"Comment by RexxarTheGodThey gonna change all the dungeons so people will stop crying 24/7. This is just the first one, expect more to come.Comment by pankracIs anyone actually surprised it got changed? :-) The massive bonus was so OP it was just a matter of time for Blizzard before bringing it in line with other covenant bonuses.

I like these special bonuses even in M+. It's gonna be fun and something different to experiment with.Comment by Heime@Ailwuful, removing the buff in M+ fixes the need (real for high key pushing, perceived for PUGs) to force M+ groups to bring someone of a specific covenant for a dungeon. It’s a matter of ongoing debate in the forums whether this is an interesting and exciting idea or Blizzard taking a dump on the M+ community and giving pugs another way to make life harder for those of us without much guild support. That last part is what Lynele wants to avoid. The forums are not always a source of positivity, but if your question was for real and not an attempt to shut Lynele down, I actually do encourage you to read up on this one since it will almost certainly affect covenant choice for some players.Comment by DaillemandIt's not a nerf if we didn't even play it yetComment by FuegocitoDon't nerf it, just delete it in m+
easy fixComment by DimmnAnd its gone..... They still keeping all the other strong @#$% from the other covs.Comment by Redemption86These effects shouldn't apply in M+ full stop.Comment by Mafia1882And the whiny babies got their way. Again.

Good job on crying so hard that you guys are turning the game into a gray blob where there are no choices to be made. Maybe next expansion you guys can cry so hard that they will just remove classes altogether because it is clearly unfair that some classes have different strengths than others. While you are at it remove the roles of tank/heals/DPS as well. Also remove the need to do things in group because that is clearly an affront to the "top end" players, having to play with other people is an unfair requirement, what if you get rejected from a group once in your life? You'd never be able to recover from that traumatic experience.

Seriously.Comment by allegryAnd the whiny babies got their way. Again.
