During your travels in Shadowlands you will meet key members from each Covenant.
Once you chosen a covenant you will be able to Soulbind with them.
Soulbinding allows you to gain access to traits that provide bonuses or enhance your skills so you can effectively combat all who stand in your way.
You basically lend their power to use as your own.
At launch, there are 3 soulbind characters that you can have, but you choose one of them per time when you lend their powers.
The first two Soulbinds are available as soon as you join a Covenant and do a little bit of questing—no other activity or currency required. The third Soulbind is unlocked when you complete the Covenant Campaign quest line.
Each soulbinding character has its own talent tree.
Each talent tree has 8 rows of traits.
You unlock rows by leveling up your “reputation” through a system called Renown system.
Some rows and slots are Conduit slots, sort of gem slots for something called Conduit.
Conduit are socketed passives that enhance your Class and Covenant Abilities.
Best Soulbinding Character
The best soulbind character for a class is also what type of gameplay you play.
It can be a soulbind that is good for PvP but another one that is better for tanking, and another one that is better for dps. It might even differ between best soulbind if you do raids or M+.
During beta and into live as well, I will test all there is and gather all information and references to give you the best soulbind choice for your class, based on what gameplay you do.
It´s to early to list them up now because a lot will change until we get a final built for live.
