Talk:Rat King (covenant)/@comment-25254762-20140802005516

I enjoy this covenant personally, though I wish that the area in which the gray spirit spawned was semi-randomized. As it is, it's easy to spawn camp. Some people will complain that spawn camping is not honorable. This is true. On the flip side, there's the players who's whole strategy is to stay in the spawn tunnel and hang back anyway (or just wait until you come in after them and spam down AoE spells at you). With that in mind, it becomes hard to fight honorably unless both players are working towards it. When I play, I prefer to sit back at the edge of the first room and let them kill the rats that spawn in (as well as heal). If they attack me before then, I call them fair game. Especially if I bow to them and they attack me mid-gesture.

In short: I like this covenant, but it's honestly DESIGNED to make you spawn-camp. For those 10% of players who read this and actually come out of the tunnel for a fair fight, I applaud you. May we meet in battle one day.
