World of Warcraft: Shadowlands introduces 4 new factions: the Covenants. Players have the option of choosing one of them in order to gain powerful powers and allies during their journey through Shadowlands. Here's what we know about one of them: Revendreth's Venthyrs.
Covenant of the Venthyrs
If you decide to join the Venthyr Covenant, you will receive two unique abilities: a class technique to use in combat, as well as a power that will allow you to move in a special way.
Here is the movement capacity that the Venthyrs grant to their champions:
Door of shadows
40m range, 2s cast, 2min CD
Wend through the shadows, appearing at the targeted location.
Venthyr Soulbinds
Soulbinds allow you to share powers with a mighty denizen of your chosen Covenant. By forming a pact with this being, you will have access to a Soulbind tree that will give access to specific powers of that denizen. These new powers are earned over time, as you improve your relationship through the Soulbind. Each being capable of forming a Soulbind has their own character, story, and powers to lend.
First overview of the techniques specific to each class
Death Knight — Swarming Mist
10m range, Instant, 1min CD
A heavy mist surrounds you for 8 seconds, increasing your Avoidance by 311. Deals 136 Shadow damage every 1 second to enemies within 10 yards. For each enemy damaged, you gain 3 Runic power.
Druid — Ravenous Frenzy
For a period of time, Druid spells you cast increase your damage, healing, and haste by a percentage, stacking. If you spend a period of time idle, the Frenzy overcomes you, consuming a percentage of your health per stack, stunning you, and then ending.
Demon Hunter — Sinful Brand
Brand an enemy with the mark of the Venthyr, reducing their melee and casting speeds and inflicting Shadow damage over time. Activating Metamorphosis applies Sinful Brand to all nearby enemies.
Hunter — Flayed Shot
Fire a shot at your enemy, causing them to bleed Shadow damage over a period of time. Each time Flayed Shot deals damage, you have a chance to gain Flayer's Mark, causing your next Kill Shot to be usable on any target, regardless of their current health.
Mage — Mirrors of Torment
40m range, 2s cast, 2min CD
Conjure 3 mirrors that rotate around the targeted enemy for 6 seconds. Whenever they cast an ability or spell, they take 7,000 Shadow damage and are rooted for 1.5 seconds.
Priest — Mindgames
Assault an enemy's mind, dealing Shadow damage and briefly reversing their perception of reality. For a period of time, the next damage they deal will heal their target, and the next healing they do will damage their target.
Rogue — Slaughter
Slaughter the target, causing Physical damage. The target's anima mixes with your lethal poison, coating your weapons for the next 5 minutes. Slaughter Poison deals Shadow damage over time and steals a percentage of healing done to the target. This also awards combo points.
Shaman — Chain Harvest
Send a wave of anima at the target, which then jumps to additional nearby targets. Deals Shadow damage to enemies and restores health to allies. For each target critically struck, the cooldown of Chain Harvest is reduced.
Warlock — Impending Catastrophe
Call forth a cloud of chaotic anima that travels to the target enemy, dealing Shadow damage to enemies within their path. When the anima reaches the target it explodes, inflicting a random Curse and dealing Shadow damage to all nearby enemies.
Warrior — Condemn (replaces Execute)
Condemn a foe to suffer for their sins, causing Shadow damage. Only usable on enemies who are above 80% health or below 20% health. The primary target is weakened, preventing a moderate amount of damage they would deal to you. If your foe survives, a portion of the Rage spent is refunded.
Paladin - Ashen Hallow
Hallow the target area, dealing Shadow damage split among enemies and restoring health split among injured allies over time. The land remains filled with anima, causing additional Shadow damage to all enemies. You gain the benefits of Consecration while within the area.
Venthyrs' Loot
Contribute to the cause of the Venthyr Covenant to win several ornamental awards. For the moment, we only know the appearance of the armor set.
Revendreth is one of the areas of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. In this article, we will focus on this Gothic-inspired kingdom dedicated to damned and prideful souls.
