Changes To Necrolord Balance Druids in 9.2
Nothing
Necrolord Balance Druid Covenant Abilities
Necrolord Balance Druid Class Ability:
The Necrolord Class Ability for Druids is
. It is a 25 second cooldown DOT effect that buffs up the effects of your other periodic effects on the target. This includes effects such as
and
as well.
There are a few things to note about adaptive swarm:
It alternates between friendly and enemy target.
It cannot be cancelled off.
It buffs up effects like Starfall & Fury of Elune in addition to our DOTs.
There are some conditionals that are ideal for Adaptive Swarm:
Use adaptive swarm when there is no active swarm.
Refresh late as possible on swarm with 2 or fewer stacks.
Refresh on a 3+ swarm so that the new swarm arrives just after that swarm expires.
is the conduit for Necrolord and it increases your periodic effects on the target by an additional percentage. It is pretty solid on Single Target if you have taken Necrolord.
Necrolord Conduit for
is the Necrolord conduit and it makes your Damage Over Time effects do more damage. It is a pretty good potency conduit all things considered.
Balance Druid Conduit Guide
Necrolord Signature Ability:
seems pretty appealing. You channel Fleshcraft then progressively get a shield that goes up to 50% of your max HP.
This ability has very good survivability especially if you are able to get the bonus from powerful enemies.
Necrolord Exclusive Legendary for Balance Druids
is the Necrolord specific legendary for druids. This is a very bad legendary as a whole and you are better off picking other options. It is cool that it can make Adaptive Swarm duplicate, but the opportunity cost to wear this legendary is just too high.
Other Legendary Interactions For Necrolord Balance Druids
is the main Legendary that has strong interactions with Adaptive Swarm for Balance Druids. There is no real gameplay interaction, it just buffs your DOTs further.
Best Necrolord Balance Druid Soulbinds
Best Necrolord Balance Druid Renown 40 Soulbind
Heirmir is the best soulbind for Necrorlord through and through. The amount of main stat she grants is just too substantial especially coupled with the fact that only Emeni is even close to competitive.
Best Necrolord Balance Druid Renown 80 Soulbind
Nothing changes really. We are Heirmir through and through. At 57 you get your final capstone trait and it is a pretty sizable damage gain in and of itself. The conduits are in a priority order to get empowered as once you progress further past renown 60 you start to empower your conduits more and more. They are in order in which you want them set.

Necrolord Balance Druid Rotation Changes
Generally Necrolord does not change your rotation much. Make sure you maintain
on the target you are fighting and refresh using the refresh parameters below and you will be good to go. If you do not refresh with these parameters then Necrolord's value is SO much lower.
Use
when there is no active swarm.
Refresh late as possible on swarm with 2 or fewer stacks.
Refresh on a 3+ swarm so that the new swarm arrives just after that swarm expires.

Necrolord Balance Druid Talent Builds
Your talent build does not change
at all
when picking this Covenant. The general strength of
is on Single Target which you already have
talented for.

Necrolord Balance Druid Gearing Differences
There are absolutely no gearing differences when you choose the Necrolord Covenant. I guess maybe your Haste would be slightly more valuable, but not notable enough to where you have a gearing discrepancy. Just sim yourself for your best gearing options.
Necrolord Balance Druid Soulbinds Explained
Necrolords have access, across all classes and specs, to the same three Soulbinds:
Plague Deviser Marileth
,
Emeni
and
Bonesmith Heirmir
. They are the NPCs you complete the zone story with, and allow you to "attune" yourself to them to gain access to a tree of upgrades centered around your base toolkit (through Conduits) and covenant abilities (through special, game-wide traits).
This tree progressively unlocks based on completion steps (such as finishing the campaign) and your Renown level with the Necrolord covenant.
We've summarized the optimal traits for each Soulbind below, along with potential conduits to slot in. Do bear in mind that Emeni is by far the best choice, yet some of the other options can be situationally decent for other things.
Plague Deviser Marileth grants you two impactful traits:
empowers your
by granting an additional buff based on the type of corpse you used it near. 342 mastery for humanoids, 2% primary stats for beasts, 5% stamina for demons, and a 5% heal for undead.
The capstone trait,
, causes you to gain 8% max HP in total over the duration of the channel. If you manage to finish the channel, you gain CC immunity for 4 seconds, and regenerate another 8% max HP over 4 seconds.
These benefits buff up Fleshcraft by a pretty considerable amount. The downside is that you lose out on value from
as you have to choose between a potency conduit or Plagueys. Overall, this choice is a pretty solid defensive option due to
&
but a pretty lackluster offensive option all things considered.
In 9.1
is also a new major trait you will be gaining, Plague Deviser is still just bad damage, so we don't worry about this.
An example tree to follow on this Soulbind is as follows:
Emeni provides a couple of interesting nodes:
, the initial trait in the tree, functions as group utility. With
being a 25 second cooldown, we get pretty decent value out of this node as a whole.
would be nice if it was able to be taken, however it is not worth giving up a potency conduit slot for. Even so, it would only be usable in M+ anyways
was added in 9.1 and while the damage is not bad, Heirmir is still a superior soulbind.
Overall this is the tree that you should be looking to take whenever you are running Necrolord as it has the best damage options.
An example tree can be seen below.
Picking Bonesmith Heirmir grants access to the following notable traits:
It allows you to keep fighting for 10s after death. The notable part about Reveries is the main stat that is added to your armor, up to 3%. Intellect is really strong.
grants you additional crit percentage every minute. This is not that bad of a trait, and actually superior to our potency conduits.
still carries Heirmir pretty hard even with the addition of
&
.
Double Legendaries for Necrolord Balance Druid
Patch 9.2 adds the option of using two legendaries at the same time, with the restriction that one of them is your Covenant legendary. This change empowers Necrolord Balance Druid even more. You can learn more about it in our Legendary Guide.

This mentions Emeni is the best by a fair margin, but bloodmallet is showing sims with Bonesmith Heirmir at the top of the list?
