Shadowlands has undoubtedly breathed new life into the now over 15-year-old World of Warcraft. In the process, it not only cut old ties in terms of Warcraft history, but also introduced a number of new game concepts such as the Pact system. The game's previous "meta" with its familiar race/class combinations has been elegantly expanded along the way, offering more variety than ever.

The reasons for which pact to choose for which class vary. The "min/maxers" among the players who want to get the most out of their character performance-wise will prefer the currently recommended pact. Roleplayers, on the other hand, don't care much, and will always choose the ally that comes closest to their ideal, such as a Night Fae Druid or Necrolord Warlock.
